Fall and Rise of Home Videogames. The book is filled with info from
the past, and includes info about new technology as well. In roughly 24
chapters, you learn about the history of videogames year-by-year, from
1970 to 1993. There are also chapters specifically on Virtual Reality and
Multimedia.
The book goes in-depth on how videogames have evolved from their early beginnings in the '70s, to the technological wonders they are today. After reading this book, you will not only understand videogames better, but the industry as a whole. |
