NES Works 1987 (Hardcover)

When the Nintendo Entertainment System made its American debut in late 1985, the very notion of console games had become anathema to the buyers and managers who determined what consumers would see in the nation’s department stores and shopping malls. Two years later, those naysayers had been silenced as the NES became a dominant force—not just among video games and toys, but at retail in general.

Isabella ★★★★★

Flipping through this, I’m amazed at how much context they pack around each 1987 game—the business side is just as fascinating as the screenshots. It’s the kind of book I’ll keep going back to for years.

David ★★★★★

The hardcover feels genuinely substantial, and the paper quality makes the screenshots look sharp instead of muddy. I've been reading a chapter a night and it's turned into the best way to unwind after work.

Zoe ★★★★★

I bought this expecting a nice coffee table book, but wound up reading the whole thing cover to cover in two nights. The history of the console's 1985 American launch is told with real depth, and the screenshots are printed sharp enough to actually study.
