Description
Gamish: A Graphic History of Gaming A love letter to gaming in all its forms, Gamish takes us on a thrilling illustrated journey through the history of video games and what they really mean to us. From the pioneering prototypes of the 1950s to the modern era of blockbuster hits and ingenious indie gems, this book explores the people and politics behind one of the world's most exciting art-forms. Comic artist Edward Ross's own fascination with video games began when he first booted up his brother's dusty old Atari. Years later, he wondered: what makes games so special? Why do we play? And how do games shape the world we live in? This book is his answer, lovingly illustrated and full of insights into the world of gaming. Gamish is a celebration of gaming in all its forms, from board games to virtual reality and video games. It's a worthwhile read for anyone who's ever played a game, and a great introduction for those new to gaming.
