''Game Over: How Nintendo Zapped an American Industry, Captured Your Dollars, and Enslaved Your Children'' is a non-fiction book written by David Sheff and published by Random House, New York in 1993. == Overview == The book details the modern history of Nintendo Company, Limited and its rise to become the most powerful electronic gaming company in the world as of 1993. The book also provides a history of the worldwide electronic gaming industry as a whole from the 1960s to the 1990s. Although bearing a very specific title, the book is fairly neutral; it mainly relates the history of the company while looking at both the positives and negatives of their business practices. Sheff does suggest that many of Nintendo's successes are attributable to what reviewer James Fallows termed "the Japanese system’s tolerance for monopoly". Sheff also defends the accuracy of the "enslaved your children" portion of the subtitle, stating that "kids will play the games compulsively and non-stop". The book is notable in that the author extensively interviewed numerous established figures in the industry, such as Howard Lincoln, Nolan Bushnell, Shigeru Miyamoto (misspelled as "Sigeru" in the book), Alexey Pajitnov, and others, including people who spoke anonymously. This level of access to major figures in Nintendo's history, which ''US Gamer'' described as "unprecedented", made ''Game Over'' "the definitive work" which was referenced by nearly all other subsequent books and articles about Nintendo's history. Portions of the book were originally published in ''San Francisco Focus'', ''Men's Life'', ''Rolling Stone'', and ''Playboy'' magazines. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Game Over (book)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
