This book will take you on a journey down memory lane to the glory days of your favorite consoles, games, and characters. It is dedicated to four decades of development of console, computer and handheld games. From arcade classics on Atari consoles to timeless hits on Nintendo, SEGA and SonyPlaystation, this book explores the major releases that have made video games a huge industry and earned worldwide love. How did Tetris penetrate the Western market? What additional meanings do the icons (cross, triangle, circle and square) have on controllers? How did Mario almost become Mr. Video and Lara Croft almost become Lara Cruz? Why does Nintendo owe its popularity to yakuza gangs, while Xbox never really took off in Japan? The first Power Glove controller from 1989, and the creation stories of Pac-Man, Mortal Kombat, The Legend of Zelda, Prince of Persia, Sonic, Warcraft, and Call of Duty - the characters, games, consoles, and franchises you loved (and maybe you still love it). Mike Diver not only recalls timeless hits, but also pays tribute to the lesser-known but all-important games, characters, controllers, and systems that helped shape the gaming world.
