       Been reading this all afternoon, I'll postpone a thoughtful
       review for when it's done and I'm more clear headed, so all I'll
       say is...
       Chip!
       This is Halt And Catch Fire.
       It's Halt And Catch Fire but about Sega Genesis and it's
       freaking real.
       You should read this.
       Don't wait for the documentary.
       Don't wait for the movie.
       Get this book and read it.

       Just put this on my Hold List with the Library. Thanks. So,
       there is a doc/movie coming for this?

       I only heard about Console Wars on the recommendation from
       Neumatic and the fact that he was able to use Halt and Catch
       Fire as a prime example is what got me to check out the book. I
       do agree that it exactly like the series and more. You guys know
       that I'm a gamer through and through. I was raised on Arcade
       games and I've had a number of consoles over my lifetime: Atari
       2600, Colecovision, Playstation 2 and Xbox 360. Ironically
       though, the two systems I've never owned or played is what this
       book is about: Nintendo Vs. Sega. Even though I was over and
       done with gaming during this particular time in history, I was
       aware of what was happening. It was unavoidable, the commercials
       were everywhere at the time. I'm glad I got a chance to catch up
       on the behind the scenes stuff as it was all new to me. I am
       looking forward to the eventual movie, but I really hope they
       take this serious. My concern is that since Seth Rogen and Evan
       Goldberg are exec producing it, they might have the idea to turn
       it into a dumb-down comedy. I hope it's more along the lines
       of.....Halt and Catch Fire. A good reason from end to end. Worth
       a Rent from the Library if you are into how business' are run or
       if you are a gamer.
