Is there a good book on the history of video games? I want something that really gets in depth. I want something that talks about he various companies, and has words (interviews) from those companies. I would really like something that talks to the reader from the business side of things.
On top of this, just any books on the history of video games would be appreciated.

That would be a very interesting read. I know a bunch of useless facts about the history of the industry, but I too would be interested in more.
Thing is though, I don't think there's much out there with info centralized at this point. Still, would be incredibly interesting to read...

I have this book and it's pretty good. It has some good interviews with early video game devs though maybe not in great depth. Overall, it's well worth the $$.
