- This book is a potted history of video games, telling all the rollercoaster stories of this fascinating young industry that's now twice as big globally than the film and music industries combined. Each chapter explores the history of video games through a different lens, giving a uniquely well-rounded overview. Packed with pictures and stats, this book is for video gamers nostalgic for the good old days of gaming, and young gamers curious about how it all began. If you've ever enjoyed a video game, or you just want to see what all the fuss is about, this book is for you. There are stories about the experimental games of the 1950s and 1960s; the advent of home gaming in the 1970s; the explosion – and implosion – of arcade gaming in the 1980s; the console wars of the 1990s; the growth of online and mobile games in the 2000s; and we get right up to date with the 2010s, including such cultural phenomena as twitch.tv, the Gamergate scandal, and Fortnite. But rather than telling the whole story from beginning to end, each chapter covers the history of video games from a different angle: platforms and technology, people and personalities, companies and capitalism, gender and representation, culture, community, and finally the games themselves.

Atari is where kids learned that you don't always win, even if you worked up a sweat trying.
Where you learned that a co-op was when you tagged in someone else, like a brother or neighbor friend to give it a shot.
Sxf of Atari became ingrained in your memory long before the Mario Bros or Zelda were even born.
Yeah, no. I think it was an evolution of video games. It didn't get as current as say, the 2010s or recent. But it did cover a lot of the history of video games from arcade styles to consoles. I think it was on Netflix. It probably was "High Score." Or a mixture of it and other similar titles; gets hard to remember and separate them. I'm getting old 😔.
