DO YOU WANT TO KNOW THE ORIGIN OF VIDEO GAMES AND THEIR EXPLOSIVE POPULARIZATION THROUGH THE DECADES OF THE 70'S AND 80'S?
In this compilation of 2 books in 1 of the collection The history of video games through the most interesting anecdotes, curiosities and facts you will enjoy and learn the highlights of the early years of video games, from its origin to 1989.
Virtual games were created in the 1950s, but it was in the 1970s when their commercial power was discovered with the first arcade machines such as Galaxy Game or Computer Space, although it would be the success of Atari's Pong that finally launched the industry.
Subsequently, games like Space Invaders, Galaxian, Asteroids or Pac-Man took arcades to their first golden age while first and second generation consoles began to spread video games in homes, especially through the Atari 2600... until the arrival of the video game crisis in 1983.
Nintendo's 8-bit console relaunched and massified the market through a glorious catalog (Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Mega Man, Castlevania, Punch-Out!!!) while arcade machines continued their success, with computers threatening with their first hit titles.
