Product Description
Product Description
More American children recognize Super Mario, the hero of one of Nintendo's video games, than Mickey Mouse. The Japanese company has come to earn more money than the big three computer giants or all Hollywood movie studios combined. Now Sheff tells of the Nintendo invasion--a tale of innovation and cutthroat tactics.

Format:Paperback
I reread this and had just as much fun the second time. It's a great ride-- the story of Tetris alone is worth the price of admission. Though the book is historical, there's still lots to learn if you're in the game industry. It's easy to forget the great lessons imparted by the best game designers ever -- people like Miyamoto and Pajitnov.

Game Over is a bible for people who love Nintendo or the videogame industry for that matter. I have the original version of this book, and read it from cover to cover in like 2 days. Now that the 2nd edition is out I am going to have to get that, this book is that good. I feel that this book is a must have for anyone who likes videogames. 5 STARS
