This book is a history of the Video Game Industry, from types of electronic entertainment that were available before video games, to the improvements up until the year 2000. It begins with a look at the origins of Pinball, and other novelty games, then on to games that were played on giant computers, and then finally to the invention of the Video game, and the growth of the industry. Each section has many quotes from people involved with the creation, design, or field of video games. At the center of the book is a 21 (non-numbered) page insert of black and white photos of the various people and events mentioned. It also details the video game influences of video games into the cultures of the world, from movies to cereal boxes and toys. This book would later be updated in 2001 under the title "Ultimate History of Video Games," with one new chapter, a time line, and a index being added.
