From Spacewar to Spore

March 01, 2008 by Chris Billows in Hobby Heedings tags: eBook, Games Analysis

One of my favorite pastimes is computer & video gaming. I have been an avid gamer since 1977. I vividly remember getting my first home Pong system and soon after getting the Atari VCS. I also frequented the local arcade and eventually came to enjoy the more complex and strategic games found on computers.

 

The enjoyment and the potential of the medium has stuck with me and it has inspired me to launch my own game company Promaginy.

It also prompted me to self-publish an eBook called the Evolution of Computer Games. It was a humble attempt to analyze and not just track the lineal development of computer games. You are welcome to freely download the eBook here:

Evolution of Computer Games 2nd Edition

Evolution of Computer Games 1st Edition (kept for posterity)
