A celebration of bold failures that helped shape gaming history.

The world of video games is often remembered for dazzling soundtracks, epic sagas, and beloved heroes. But behind this glimmering history lies a lesser-known story—one of ambitious failures, broken dreams, and fortunes lost. In this unique book, collector and historian Marco Lazzeri shines a light on gaming's forgotten relics: ill-fated consoles like the RCA Studio II, Bally Astrocade, Mega Duck, Cassette Vision, Creativision, and Casio PV-1000.

With encyclopedic knowledge, Lazzeri takes readers on a time-traveling journey through the 1970s and 1980s—an era of revolutionary ideas and daring innovation, but also great risk and uncertainty. Through detailed profiles, photos of hardware and cartridges, and curated game lists, the “dead” come alive, revealing not only the tech behind them, but also the commercial missteps that sealed their fate.

Game Over: The Book of Forgotten Video Games is no obituary. It’s a tribute to creativity and risk-taking, an overdue recognition of short-lived but influential machines that paved the way for the industry’s evolution. Lazzeri’s analysis transforms these failures into symbols of an experimental era, offering a fascinating lens on gaming history that new generations may have missed.
