Title: Amazing book, takes you WAY back
Product review: This book I read the summer before going to school to study video game programming and design. I loved the fact that it chronicles the card games and peg board games which led to the invention of the Pinball machine (a modification of the pegboard machine made illegal due to it's ties to the mob in NYC, with flippers it is no longer a game of chance)Speaking about it with one of my professors, a producer at Xbox, he said that it was an okay book, but is the product of the whole "the victors are the ones who get to write the history books" - in other words, he thinks it is told from a one-sided point of view, the side of the manufacturers who did well.I think it is a dynamite book regardless.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
