description
40 years of onscreen fun and interaction: This book presents almost every game computer and console ever created, from Japan, USA, and Europe, along with classic software in its authentic, pixellated glory, and background information as well as key technical facts. More than 400 dream machines and million sellers, bizarre slip-ups and exotic variants are celebrated in full-color chapters with extensive appendixes. From Atari to Xbox360, from the C64 to Nintendo 3DS: Game. Machines are the reference point for members of the PlayStation generation; whether they’re gamers or collectors. Originally published in Germany, Game. Machines have been recognized as a `suitable reference´ and `recommended reading´ (by Germany's premier micro monthly C’t), as `very entertaining´ (Gamestar) and `compulsory reading´ (PlayZone) or simply as `Ace´ (ComputerBILD). Two years in the making, this greatly enhanced and revised edition invites you to a time journey across the video game era: From the 4-bit beginnings to the broadband future.Press voices:

If only if it bigger
The size of this is like 3/4 of an a4 size? Althought it full colour and rich but print might be kinda small due to the size.
But overall it great as it contain lot of retro info inside and some which i didnt even seen or heard before
