No Starch Press has announced that they’re publishing The Game Console: A Photographic History from Atari to Xbox, a new book that depicts the “grisly innards” of all your favorite consoles, on November 6th.
Authored by Evan Amos, and featuring an extensive collection of full-color photos and notes about 86 different consoles, The Game Console might just be the most complete catalog of console hardware ever published:
The Game Console is a tour through the evolution of video game hardware, with gorgeous full-color photos of 86 consoles and their grisly innards. You’ll start your journey with legendary consoles like the Magnavox Odyssey, Atari 2600, Nintendo Entertainment System, and the Commodore 64. The visual nostalgia trip continues with systems from the 1990s and 2000s, ending with modern consoles like the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Wii U.
Throughout the book, you’ll also discover many consoles you never knew existed, and get a rare peek at the hardware inside some of history’s most iconic video game systems.
You can find a few preview images from The Game Console at No Starch’s official website, and they certainly do look grisly (and also amazing).
