Adge’s Visual History Of Gaming does a great job explaining “How we got from Pac-Man to Quake II,” among other things. He decided on several categories of games and then illustrates the “journey” from the first groundbreaking game to its present incarnation. For example, the platform category starts with Donkey Kong in the arcade and ends up with Mario 64 on the Nintendo 64. He doesn’t stop there, though. Each category’s “journey” is further illustrated with other games and systems, resulting in a very satisfying, albeit quick, pictorial history of gaming. Very cool…
