A must for video game fans
This book covers everything from the begining of video games through the Playstation one. It is a great book for learning the history of video games. Plenty of pictures will remind you of past systems and systems you have never seen before. An exelent book for any video game collector or anyone in the industry.

Good read but not an ARCADE history and not valid to the UK
I sent off for this book cause I was interested in the history of Video games found in the arcade from the mid 70's. I live in the UK, and you cannot get this book from (...), so I sent off to the US of A, and it turned up right on time. Now this is a very good book, packed full of details, and covering the complete history of the industry, BUT NOT THE ARCADE HISTORY, BUT THE HOME CONSOLE HISTORY. Saying that, I would have bought this book anyway.

A definate must for video game fans...
This book is one of the best sources for the history of video games. Anyone that grew up playing video games in the late 70's and early 80's will appreciate the good memories that this book will bring back. I especially enjoyed the book because it took me back to my childhood and to a time when video games were new and exciting and it may do the same for you.
