Helpful Score: 2
A fascinating history of the early days of the video game, from the very earliest days of Pong to the first coin-ops and beyond. Includes personal accounts from some of the great visionaries and entrepreneurs who made it all happen, from MIT engineers and small-time hobbyists to unique characters like Nolan Bushnell, arguably the father of the video game industry, described by a close friend as having 'the attention span of a golden retriever.' A fun read for geeks, gamers, and the general population alike.
