I must have been asleep at the wheel. I didn't know about Atari 50. Not in the article is also the game Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story.

But though it’s in the same format, The Making of Karateka was a different challenge for the team. Atari 50 presents a bird’s-eye view of an entire company over five decades, spanning from the arcades to home consoles like the Jaguar. It’s filled with smaller stories about individual games and hardware launches. The Making of Karateka, on the other hand, is a deep dive into the creation of one defining game, which in turn means it’s very much about a person: creator Jordan Mechner.

They’re all so good. Looking forward to picking up Tetris Forever in the not too distant future.
