Videogame and Computer History is not treated appropriately
That has always been a pet peeve of mine, Matt. It's simply lazy journalism and, to a degree, pandering. I'm hoping that our book can help to change some of that, as the targeted coverage, format and organization should be conducive to anyone being able to easily parse when, what and who. It's certainly impractical for generalist journalists to mentione every system, but certainly the notable ones should be mandatory. Even in the C-64's case it's all too easy for them to dismiss the best selling computer of all time, for instance. That would be like dismissing The Beatles when talking about popular music history.
