Push Start – The Art of Video Games 

Book

Pac Man, Space Invaders, Tetris, and Super Mario Bros. are video game veterans and more than just reminiscences of an untroubled childhood. Challenging stories and characters, visual quality, and aesthetic experience make them successful examples of popular interaction design. They have become more than a mere video game and can be regarded as a multimedia art form. Push Start outlines the graphical evolution from its beginnings, through the golden age of arcade video games, to the latest generation of game consoles. Fascinating artwork and screenshot prints of the most famous video games and the corresponding cult sounds on a ten-inch vinyl create an expanding universe of game culture in which the worlds of emotion, reality, and art collide.
