angusjake Posted February 23, 2002 Share Posted February 23, 2002 FYI - don't know if this has been mentioned yet but this is the title of a NEW book out by Steven Kent. It is an excellent book, full of info and anecdotes, and very comprehensive. It gives a chronology of the entire scene, from pre-Pong to Atari/Intellivisin/Coleco to the Nintendo vs. Sega wars and right up to the present day. I strongly recommend it those classic gamers who are interested in all the behind-the scenes goings on in the classic game history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariDude Posted February 23, 2002 Share Posted February 23, 2002 Actually I believe that he released an earlier book that detailed the first 25 years of videogames and the new book, "The Ultimate History of Videogames" is the followup book. In addition, I also recommend Phoenix:The Fall and Rise of Videogames by Leonard Herman. You can obtain the book from his website at: http://www.rolentpress.com I happen to have both books and I enjoy them both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRetroGamer Posted February 27, 2002 Share Posted February 27, 2002 It's not really a follow-up, more like the same book with a few extra chapters of newer stuff (not enough to make you want both, wish I had known that before I got the new one since I already had the old one). Check out more old and new Video Game books and magazines here at my site (shameless plug alert): http://retrogames-r-us.tripod.com [ 02-27-2002: Message edited by: MrRetroGamer ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
