Reviews for the first edition of The Game Console:
"This book gathers [Evan Amos'] gorgeous images into a visual history of games, and it’s such a nostalgic treat to pore over."
—Keith Stuart, The Guardian, 1 of 20 Books Every Gamer Should Read
"Vividly detailed . . . It’s the next-best thing to taking apart vintage machines yourself, and it looks much nicer on your coffee table."
—Wired
"Photographed in intense, loving detail, the book quite literally unpacks 86 consoles and examines their innards."
—Mashable
"While services like PlayStation Now prove that streaming has the potential to increase access to older hardware-bound games, The Game Console posits that consoles themselves are important cultural objects that we shouldn’t forget."
—Motherboard
"Amos’ passion for gaming and photographic skills come together beautifully in The Game Console."
—Kotaku
"A perfect choice for gamers looking to build up their knowledge on video game history."
—Android Central
