As an avid midlife gamer with nostalgic interest in gaming history I enjoy reading gaming books.

In this picture you can see the gaming books I own. My favorite is “Masters of Doom” followed by “The Ultimate History of Video Games” (I am aware there is a second volume).

I would like to hear more recommendations from you.

P. S: Note that PC gaming is my thing therefore it is highly unlikely that I will get a book about consoles or console games.

Maybe you will find Blood, Sweat and Pixels by Jason Schreier of interest. Been a little while but I enjoyed it as an audio book.

I’ve read that tedium. Some chapters revealed something interesting, but everything else was empty. Why do I need to know what kind of wine the developers drank and in what pub after the bad news got announced to them?

This book’s core issues are very important. The book itself sucks!
