## Description

desertcart.com: Game On!: 9781250294456: Hansen, Dustin: Books

Review: New and entertaining history, the Forest Gump of the video game world. - This book is a time machine. My youth was shaped by PONG, ATARI, PAC-MAN and a host of other games. We competed for screen time with moms Jazzercise and dad's Mutual of Omahas Wild Kingdom. I remember the smell of a heated game console and the sound a cathode ray tube television makes when it warms up and cools down. This book brought it all back. Hansen has not simply regurgitated history here. He has narrated the life of every kid raised on video games. He has also underscored the immeasurable effect the gaming industry has had on the advancement of technology, cinematography, and the digital age. His attention to detail is impressive. His direct involvement as an artist/writer in the industry enrich the history by adding context, side stories and background. This is a well written book, and it is entertaining. It is entirely possible that in a future day GAME ON! will be considered foundational in the development of the written history of the digital world.
Review: Good overview of video game development from the early days to present time - I have kids who grew up in the "digital age" and they know more about the history of video games than I do. Or I should say they used to know more about video games...now that I have read this book, I may know more - at least I know enough to hold my own in a conversation about the nuances of Sega vs. Nintendo. This book is well researched, and I appreciated how the author demonstrated that each new generation of game builds on what has come before. It has also piqued my interest in a few games, so I may seek them out and give them a try.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Okay - Not Great
*by S***B on August 22, 2025*

Purchased for a teenager; they didn't find it to be as entertaining as they'd hoped.
