Dungeons and Dreamers
by Brad King, John Borland, Roger Stewart
Published August 2003
Average Rating: ***** [1 review]
This book covers the game industry from birth to present with incredible
scope and clarity. Brad King and John Borland did an impressive job
chronolizing the history of the culture behind the games, following the
footsteps of many people including Richard "Lord British" Garriott,
Richard Bartle and Roy Tribshaw (MUD creators), John Carmack and John
Romero, Stevie "Killcreek" Case, Warren Spector, Gary Gygax and Dave
Arneston (creators of D&D), Dennis "Thresh" Fong, Will Wright, Angel Munoz
(founder of the CPL), and Henry Jenkins (stout games defendant during
post-Columbine Senate hearings). The scope is truly daunting as the book
covers just over three decades of gaming, from the origin of Dungeons &
Dragons in 1972 to the rise of massively multiplayer games and competitive
gaming of the present day.
