I kindly received a copy of this book from Winnie to review on the site. Over the years I have received many books on retro gaming and computing but none as concise and well photographed as this.
Game.Machines is a beautiful book which analyses and describes some 450 console and micro releases across the globe between 1972 and 2005. The tome's total 224 pages contain more than 600 colour pictures (not fuzzy internet jpgs, but professionally photographed shots made exclusively for this book) and tons of info and nostalgia, tech infos and background stories. Rafael Dyll, musician on the R64 Volume 2 CD and the Revival ST album, has translated it from the German original -- in close collaboration with author Winnie Forster and Rockstar's David McCarthy.
I reccomend this book to any real retro gaming/computing fan out there. It is a must have for your collection.
