Why read it?
1 author picked The Ultimate History of Video Games, Vol. 1 as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Steve's sprawlingly wonderful book is not only an essential (and the first) oral history of video games' early years. The author takes you inside the minds of the (mainly) white men who pioneered a form of entertainment media that's now bigger than all forms of popular art combined. Just as it makes you think of the brilliance of these slick hucksters and brainy engineers who created a new form of culture, it makes you think that games would have benefitted greatly from more diversity back then - and now.
From Harold's list on video game narrative histories.
