(4) 4-6 ShockZone--Games and Gamers series. From 1947's Cathode-Ray Tube Amusement Device to World of Warcraft, this book introduces nine game creators (including one woman) and their iconic video games. The discussion covers the designers' inspirations, which include tennis and Ping-Pong, animated comics, bugs, battles, robots, architecture, and fantasy worlds. This is a busily designed and superficial but adequate introduction. Reading list, websites. Ind.
