ReviewsI didn't have many books on video games, since they seem to change so quickly, but this was a another in the Pop Culture Revolutions series that included Graphic Content and will appeal to many of my readers. This started with Ralph Baer who created games as far back as 1951, continued on through Pong and all the rest of the games that are familiar to many people. I appreciated that it also talked about the culture of gaming; conventions, controversies and the like. The time line at the back was particularly useful. There are two other books in this series, one about rock and roll (Play It Loud) and one about banned books. http://msyinglingreads.blogspot.com/2011/01/nonfiction-monday.html

SynopsisWhen the first video game was created in the 1960s, not only were computer geeks the first ones to play it, they were the only ones who could play it. This was long before laptops and personal computers were everywhere. Back then computers took up entire rooms, and there was limited access to those huge machines.
