More Details

Summary:

The Macintosh challenged games to be more than child's play and quick reflexes. It made human-computer interaction friendly, inviting and intuitive. Mac gaming led to much that is now taken for granted by PC gamers and spawned some of the biggest franchises in video game history. Drawing on archive material and interviews with key figures from the era--and featuring new material from Craig Fryar, Apple's first Mac games evangelist--this is the story of those communities and the game developers who survived and thrived in an ecosystem that was serially ignored by the outside world.
