Mike Diver is a writer, author of previous books on video games and editor. His work has appeared in EDGE, VICE, The Guardian and more.

Weighing in at 192 pages and published by White Owl (a label of Pen & Sword Books), the story of how the industry changed from simple Pong to a multi-billion dollar concern is described through the changing hardware. From familiar names such as the SNES and Xbox 360 to more obscure machines, there are also recommendations for what to play on these systems.

It's an enjoyable read and a great addition to your retro shelf.
