Console War book

Looks interesting, more than likely won't have anything or very little on NEC and the PCE/TG16.



Are there any books, special magazines that detail this gaming time frame from NEC's POV?

What about one that covers the whole industry from an international POV. It seems that console war only focuses on the US.

The TG16 probably gets mentioned in that book, more than likely a foot note. Would love to find out.

I just picked the book up today but given my slowness in reading I am sure you will find out way sooner from someone else :)

No, you can't have that minute of your life back. It belongs to my inner troll now.

Couldn't even spell it right :(

EDIT: I hate you nullity, I didn't even read the paragraph and then realized afterward you were trolling :)

Holy hell!  Go 30 seconds in and hear what he says, and this nimrod wrote a book about the most important console wars era.  Really? ...This guy?

I have judged this goober to be an idiot simply based on his appearance.

bwahahah... I earned many troll points, and, as it turns out (as evidenced by Geise's video) I may very well have accurately quoted a text I've never read.

Hahahaha.

War has never been so much fun... with NEC in the mix that is. Wow I can't really believe that guy wrote a book, ghostwriter anyone? lol

It's sad that no gaming journalist actually went to research how NEC established their US operation for the Turbografx, etc... they have SEGA stuff in so much detail and in the other hand we don't even know the name of the person who was the "big boss" of the Turbografx-16. NEC and TTi stuff would give a pretty interesting story IMO.
