Rare early edition of 101 BASIC Computer Games, edited by David H. Ahl and published by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC).
Unlike the mass-produced 1978 "Microcomputer Edition" widely found online, this copy is from the highly sought-after original DEC run. The copyright page indicates this is a 2nd Printing from April 1974, making it an incredibly scarce piece of computing history.
This landmark book includes classic, text-based type-in games like Hamurabi, Super Star Trek, and dozens of others that fueled the early hobbyist computer revolution.
