I Am Error

4.5 stars rounded down. Very interesting and technical book about the history and sociology and technology of the NES, a system I didn't play much. Much of the hardware limitations lead to the classic games we think of today. A fascinating read, though the author does NOT dumb it down for you.

I don't know how to review this book. It's all over the map. I liked the history of how the NES was made, and then delve into the weird limitations of the hardware. The fact that I didn't know these were limitations of the hardware really makes me appreciate the software engineering that must have gone into making games for the NES. All in all, I suspect you already know if you're going to read this book, and it's about what you'd expect it to be.

Fine, but not as compelling a read as the first book in the series.
