As an avid midlife gamer with nostalgic interest in gaming history I enjoy reading gaming books.

In this picture you can see the gaming books I own. My favorite is "Masters of Doom" followed by "The Ultimate History of Video Games" (I am aware there is a second volume).

I would like to hear more recommendations from you.

P. S: Note that PC gaming is my thing therefore it is highly unlikely that I will get a book about consoles or console games.

There are the Boss Fight Books where each Book is about a single Game (MegaMan, Red Dead Redemption). The writing Style varies for each Book since they are written by different people.

This Game Analysis of Wario Land 4 is pretty interesting aswell. The focus is more on the Game Mechanics instead of personal experience.

There`s also this Dark Souls Book.

There is a Doom Novel Series aswell. I can`t really tell anything about them since I only read a few pages of the first book.
