Celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Nintendo Entertainment System with this second massive, oversized hardcover coffee table book chronicling the console’s rise! Explore the early days of Nintendo’s first console with this collection of photos and screenshots—of both the NES and all the other consoles vying for dominance in those turbulent days. From classic consoles that soldiered on to impressive new machines by Sega and Atari, Nintendo had some stiff competition on its hands. This book covers it all.
The NES Arrives… But It’s Not Alone!
Why did the NES succeed where other consoles struggled? What made Nintendo’s games so appealing? What masterpieces did other consoles have to offer? Whether you sided with Nintendo, Sega, or Atari back in the day (or even if you kept the home fires burning for Intellivision!), The NES Revolution has lots to offer. Take a chronological journey through the American video game industry’s mid-’80s relaunch with this overview of every console game released in the U.S. from the NES’s debut in October 1985 through the end of 1987. It’s a truly all-encompassing look at a critical moment in video game history!
This book covers all U.S. releases (Oct. 1985 through Dec. 1987) for the following systems:
- Nintendo Entertainment System
- Sega Master System
- Atari 7800
- Atari XE Game System
- Mattel Intellivision
- Atari 2600
- Atari 5200
Video Game History Like You’ve Never Seen It Before!
The NES Revolution features high-quality original photography of the box art for more than 200 different games, as well as reference screenshots captured directly from original hardware. The 12x12” format means that nearly all of these boxes appear at larger-than-life sizes to capture the detailed art and vibrant design work that caught kids’ eyes in toy stores 40 years ago. You may know the NES’s story, but you’ve never seen the history of gaming presented like this before.
