New Book About Video Games
from the how-about-a-video-game-about-video-games? dept
The BBC has a review of a new book about the history of video games called Supercade: A Visual History of the Videogame Age 1971 - 1984 that sounds pretty cool. It talks about a lot of the early history of the video game world covering (of course) things such as Pong, Space Invaders and Pacman. I guess it's a coffee table book for the geekset.Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
