A complete, illustrated history of video games, told in graphic novel form, focusing on the machines, games, and people that have made gaming a multi-billion dollar global industry/art form.
Author Jonathan Hennessey and illustrator Jack McGowan present, for the first time in full color, a chronological account of the origin story of this wildly successful, ubiquitous art form and industry. Hennessey gives readers everything they need to know about video games—from its early developments during World War II to the advent of arcade games in the 1970s, to the rise of Nintendo, to today’s app-based games like Angry Birds and Pokémon Go. Hennessey and McGowan also analyze the evolution of games as an art form and its impact on society. Focusing on a major player in games and game development, each chapter contains everything gamers and non-gamers alike need to understand and appreciate this incredible phenomenon.
