With all the whiz, bang, pop, and shimmer of a glowing arcade, volume 1 of The Ultimate History of Video Games reveals everything you ever wanted to know and more about the unforgettable games that changed the world, the visionaries who made them, and the fanatics who played them. Starting in arcades then moving to televisions and handheld devices, the video game invasion has entranced kids and the young at heart for nearly fifty years. And gaming historian Steven L. Kent has been there to record the craze from the very beginning.

Back to the foundations of Gaming
Reviewed: 06-22-24
In my opinion, it was an excellent way to revisit some of the ‘even before my time’ foundational days of gaming. It took me back to games I played and gave me a background two ones I never knew existed. For me it was a bit too much on the business side of things, but still overall great read.
