@NIN10DOXD They had me on. I’m the “Father of Videogame History” and I wrote the first comprehensive videogame history back in 1994. An 800+ page 4th edition of my book is currently available.
I was disappointed to see that my book, the 800+ page Phoenix IV: The History of the Videogame Industry, was not included either. The first edition of Phoenix was the first-ever comprehensive book on videogame history ever written. And the third edition was named by Game Informer as the #2 videogame book of all time.
I know you're referring to the arcade game, but the statement " Sky Skipper was almost lost to history" is simply not true. After all, Parker Brothers licensed the game for the Atari 2600.
