Super Mario Bros. Doom. Minecraft. It's hard to imagine what life
would be like today without video games, a creative industry that
now towers over Hollywood in terms of both financial and cultural
impact. The video game industry caters to everyone, with games in
every genre for every conceivable electronic device--from dedicated
PC gaming rigs and consoles to handhelds, mobile phones, and
tablets. Successful games are produced by mega-corporations,
independent studios, and even lone developers working with nothing
but free tools. Some may still believe that video games are mere
diversions for children, but today's games offer sophisticated and
wondrously immersive experiences that no other media can hope to
match. Vintage Games 2.0 tells the story of the ultimate
storytelling medium, from early examples such as Spacewar! and Pong
to the mind blowing console and PC titles of today. Written in a
smart and engaging style, this updated 2nd edition is far more than
just a survey of the classics. Informed by hundreds of in-depth
personal interviews with designers, publishers, marketers, and
artists--not to mention the author's own lifelong experience as a
gamer--Vintage Games 2.0 uncovers the remarkable feats of
intellectual genius, but also the inspiring personal struggles of
the world's most brilliant and celebrated game designers--figures
like Shigeru Miyamoto, Will Wright, and Roberta Williams. Ideal for
both beginners and professionals, Vintage Games 2.0 offers an
entertaining and inspiring account of video game's history and
meteoric rise from niche market to global phenomenon. Credit for
the cover belongs to Thor Thorvaldson.
