https://www.amazon.com.au/Replay-History-Video-Tristan-Donovan/dp/0956507204 It’s an older book (published 2010) but focuses on history and development of gaming from the 1940s up until XBox360 era. After reading book, didn’t realise how HUGE PacMan was and how industry experts at the time didn’t think it’d do that well. Check your library to see if they have a copy.
