I'm working on a "book" called 'VideoGames Graphics'. It's a book in
PDF-format and goes about graphic design in games. In the back will be a
section with games(graphics) related information. Here you will find a
page with URL's and even some books. I mention 3 books at the moment.
Joystick-nation, like mentioned bij Nick. This is not about graphics,
but covers a nice bit of information. Re:play (also like mentioned by
Nick) this book is about graphics, but only a nice backup on classic
games history. I also mention a book called 'left/right'. I do not own
this book, but I think it's worth mentioning. It's about the
"game&watch" series of Nintendo. You remember, those LSD handhelds from
the those good old times. (See: http://www.gameandwatch.com )
The book I'm working on will be free availeble on net (I suppose it will
be about 50Mb's to download) or I can sent CD with the book and a lot of
games-movies on it. I cover a lot of production-art and screenshots of
the interface, like optionscreens. At this moment I have about 50 pages
ready. I think it will have at least 150 pages in about a month. My book
will also be updated every year. If anybody would like to write an
article about gamesgraphics to put in there, I would be very pleased.

Cheers,

DEnnis..
