Paříme - Komiksová historie videoher – Ross Edward (2024)

The first comic book in Czech about video games suitable for youth Ever since he first powered up his brother's dusty Atari, comic artist Edward Ross has been crazy about video games. After years, he began to ask himself questions: What makes games so special? Why do we play them? And how do games influence our world? In this publication suitable for both young and old enthusiasts, we journey through time from the pioneering technical inventions of the 1940s to the modern era of blockbuster hits and gems from the indie scene. Fans can look forward to seeing legendary games like Minecraft, Super Mario, Doom, Last of Us, God of War, Legend of Zelda, Grand Theft Auto, Tomb Raider, or Fallout on the pages. What do games like Dungeons & Dragons or Bioshock teach us about free will and personal responsibility? How do game designers create landscapes in which we want to get lost? Why and how do controllers become an extension of our bodies? How has the portrayal of women or races changed in video games? And in which country did the popularity of arcade machines cause a shortage of change?
