History of Video Games

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the something-to-read dept.

seer writes "There's a nice history of videogames over at GameSpot. It starts with pre-videogame activity in 1889 with the Marufuku Company (later Nintendo) and stretches to the recently released GameCube-DVD system." Hey, it's sunday. No reason to knock yourself out reading the works of ancient philosophers (unless you're taking Ancient Philosophers 230 and have an exam this week).

    Hmm - this artice sucks.. and I read most of it. Where is the writing about the games that 0wn you for months and months at a time? It goes year by year talking about the consoles, talking a little about the games - If it wasn't for the games temselves who would buy a console? I know my reason for buying a n64 was goldeneye, my ps1 was bought for tomb raider..

    I would rather snuggle up with some old philosophy books on a sunday morning than read that crap.
