This an interesting mix of history, insight into the thought process behind game design, and actual code to play with. I haven't tried the code download yet, but it was interesting to see how much of it I could 'read' and picture.

I was expecting more about how to actually design video games. There are some nice walkthroughs of some techniques used in different kinds of games but I was looking for more. The history was fun but not very detailed. Overall meh, there are better books on video game design and video game history.

Good for teaching how games work but you don't code at all
