Kane99 Posted December 8, 2021 Posted December 8, 2021 Are there any books out there that show the history of consoles? Maybe shows images of classic retro consoles, and maybe even showing prototype consoles and ideas that never came to light. I know there was a console book a while back, but I think it only showcased the main ones. I'm wondering if there are any books, maybe photo books that showcase more, if not, all of the past known consoles, including prototypes and ideas. Any suggestions?
skyfire Posted December 27, 2021 Posted December 27, 2021 Not that I know of any. But britannica often have some of the documentation on things that reflect the timeline. Usually they do it on science related stuff on each year achievement.
killamch89 Posted February 11, 2022 Posted February 11, 2022 I can't really think of anything like that. I think you'd have to look that up on Wikipedia or something as I doubt any book will have that kind of information especially in detail.

Books like that. Essentially any books about the history of consoles, the ones that succeeded and also failed. I know there are some books out there.
