Work Description
This is a review, history, and selection guide book for Video games systems. It tells of their earliest computer origins, up through the Magnavox Odyssey, Atari Pong, to the arcade, and the beginning of cartridge based game systems such as the Fairchild Channel F, and the RCA Studio II which was released a few months before this book was published. It looks at many of the most popular versions of Television games, gives helpful hints as to how to set them up, how they work, and the differences between some of the systems. There are many gray-scale photographs of the various systems, and a few screenshots of game play. Different editions of the book are known to have some material added, and other parts removed, see 'Editions' for more information.
