The second volume in the gaming history series covers the period from the late 1970s to the mid-1990s \u2014 a time when video games in the USSR and across the post-Soviet region evolved from simple electronic devices into mass-market home consoles approaching modern systems.
\nThe book traces this evolution step by step: from first-generation consoles \u2014 numerous Soviet Pong clones \u2014 through handheld electronic games of the 1980s, to multimedia platforms such as Panasonic 3DO and Sony PlayStation.
\nIt explores handheld games and the Elektronika brand in detail, explaining how these devices work \u2014 from LCD screens to console architecture. Particular attention is given to rare and little-known developments, including a Soviet third-generation gaming system that never reached mass production, as well as unusual regional solutions such as a Belarusian ZX Spectrum clone.
\nAnother focus of the book is the emergence of the post-Soviet video game market: how Dendy \u2014 a clone of the Famicom \u2014 entered the market, why Sega Mega Drive became more popular than Super Nintendo Entertainment System, and how the home console turned into a mass entertainment phenomenon.
\nThe text is based on interviews with developers and entrepreneurs and is illustrated with studio photography, including images of console internals. Each system is accompanied by reviews of its key games.
\nThe book will appeal to readers interested in the history of technology, collecting, and the inner workings of the gaming industry.<\/p>\n
