books about gaming?

[Unleaded Logic]

Here's another vote for High Score!

It has a nice overview of the industry from the beginning to recent past. They left out a few developers such as Square, but usually only because those companies requested to be excluded from the book. Great general history and lots of great photos.

I still wonder why Square declined to have their games featured in the book...

There's a book about the history of ID Software, specifically the two Johns, that I remember really liking, but for the life of me I can't remember the name or author.

Anyone?
