The game console 2.0 : a photographic history from Atari to Xbox  Cover Image Book Book

The game console 2.0 : a photographic history from Atari to Xbox / Evan Amos.

Amos, Evan, (author.).

Summary:

"Revised and updated since the first edition's celebrated 2018 release, The Game Console 2.0 is an even bigger archival collection of vividly detailed photos of more than 100 video-game consoles. This ultimate archive of gaming history spans five decades and nine distinct generations, chronologically covering everything from market leaders to outright failures, and tracing the gaming industry's rise, fall, and monumental resurgence. The book's 2nd edition features more classic game consoles and computers, a section on retro gaming in the modern era, and dozens of new entries -- including super-rare finds, such the Unisonic Champion 2711, and the latest ninth-generation consoles. You'll find coverage of legendary systems like the Magnavox Odyssey, Atari 2600, NES, and the Commodore 64; systems from the '90s and 2000s; modern consoles like the Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5; and consoles you never knew existed.--" Amazon.
