The blurb around this book stressed that it was supposed to be about the art and experience of video games, not just the business, facts and chronology. In that, I'm afraid it fails utterly.
This isn't a bad book per se, just quite dull. It is basically a chronology from oscilloscope-based beginnings in the late 40's through to 2010. Everything is pretty much "x and y designed game z. They made or lost some / lots of money, then they left and formed a new company. Then a new kind of technology came along" - rinse and repeat for over 350 pages.
The author could have been discussing the development of the domestic vacuum cleaner, to be brutally honest.

An enjoyable journey through the history of video games.

An enjoyable journey through the history of video games.
It starts from the first hand built video game console cabinets and continues through to the era of the PS3 and XBox360, covering most if not all consoles in between. The history of PC gaming is also covered extensively.
There were also plenty of nostalgic moments for me as a long time gamer having started with the Commodore VIC20 who is still gaming today well into my 50s!
A well researched book that should appeal to all keen video game players.
Perhaps one day an updated, or dare I day, levelled up (sorry!) edition could include the development of gaming on your mobile phine and the advances in VR.

This is a really good book for lovers of video games, who have an interest in how it all came about. I haven't quite finished it yet, but have read enough to know it is really interesting. I bought it to research Mel Croucher and his software industry, which includes Deus Ex Machina, (of which he has a new release waiting in the wings complete with his own book, etc), and was not disappointed. This book covers so much video games history, it really is a great buy.

I haven't read a book for ages, but I couldn't put this down. I remember the Pong Games, but the start of video games for me was on the ZX Spectrum and arcade machines in the local chippy.
This book covers most of the games that I grew up, with the history behind them and the lead up the Video Games scene in 201Xs.
A great read, and I would hearty recommend it.
