Re: [SWCollect] Books on history of computer gaming?

[C.E. Forman]

Excellent list, Hugh.  I would also recommend "The Computer Entrepreneurs" by Robert Levering, Michael Katz (no relation to Eyal) and Milton Moskowitz.  It was published in 1984 and is sort of a snapshot of the up-and-coming companies at the time.  Includes the obvious ones (Atari, Apple, Microsoft) but also has plenty of game company coverage, including Adventure International, EA, Sierra, Infocom, and Synapse.
