Gaming 101: A Contemporary History of PC & Video Games
George Jones' Gaming 101: A Contemporary History of PC and Video Games takes a comprehensive look at the history of this billion-dollar industry, what made games popular, where mistakes were made, and why. In the early 1990s, the advent of Doom, Myst, and the Sony PlayStation combined with the dawn of the Internet age to create a perfect storm in interactive entertainment, fundamentally changing the rules of design, marketing, and media in the PC and video game business. The author takes an analytical look at the companies, people, games, and business strategies of a burgeoning industry's adolescent years.
