GAME MACHINES: THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF CONSOLES, HANDHELDS & HOME COMPUTERS (1972-2012)

Winnie Forster



 

Four decades of onscreen fun and interaction: This new and heavily updated edition of the classic Gameplan book presents almost every game computer and console ever created, from Japan, USA and Europe, along with classic software in its authentic, pixellated glory, and background information as well as key technical facts.


Nearly 500 game machines — million sellers, bizarre slip-ups and exotic variants — are celebrated in full colour chapters with extensive appendixes. From Atari to Xbox, from the C64 to 3DS: Game Machines is the reference point for members of the PlayStation generation; whether they’re gamers or collectors.
