Der Macintosh hat Videospiele verändert. Er forderte das Medium heraus, mehr zu sein als nur ein Kinderspiel und schnelle Reflexe. Er machte die Interaktion zwischen Mensch und Computer freundlich, einladend und intuitiv. Mac-Spiele führten zu vielem, was heute für PC-Spieler selbstverständlich ist, und brachten einige der größten Franchises der Videospielgeschichte hervor - darunter Myst, Halo und SimCity. Er ermöglichte es jedem, mit Leichtigkeit Spiele und spielerische Software zu entwickeln, und gab unabhängigen Entwicklern ein Zuhause für ihre Produkte.

Der Macintosh begrüßte ungewöhnliche Ideen und ermutigte zum Experimentieren. Er förderte leidenschaftliche und kreative Gemeinschaften, die Entwickler inspirierten und herausforderten, es besser zu machen und dem Mac-Mantra zu folgen: "Think different".

Der preisgekrönte Journalist und Spielehistoriker Richard Moss erzählt in seinem Buch The Secret History of Mac Gaming anhand von Archivmaterial und rund 80 Interviews mit Schlüsselfiguren dieser Ära die Geschichte dieser Communitys und der Spieleentwickler, die in einem Ökosystem überlebten und gediehen, das von der Außenwelt weitgehend ignoriert wurde. Es ist ein Buch über Menschen, die in erster Linie ihrem Herzen und erst in zweiter Linie den Markttrends folgten und zeigten, wie clever, skurril und geradezu wunderbar Videospiele sein konnten.

The Secret History of Mac Gaming enthält außerdem Gastkapitel von Craig Fryar, Apples erstem Mac-Games-Evangelisten und Mitentwickler des Spielehits Spectre, sowie eigens angefertigte Illustrationen für die Trennblätter und das Cover von Grafikdesigner und Pixelkünstler JJ Signal, die alle in der wunderschönen 1-Bit-Ästhetik der frühen Macintosh-Spiele gehalten sind. Das 480 Seiten starke Buch The Secret History of Mac Gaming zeichnet sich durch auffällige farbige Seitenränder, einen mit Pantone-Farben bedruckten Hardcover-Einband und ein farblich gekennzeichnetes Lesezeichenband aus. Wie bei allen Bitmap-Books-Büchern wird eine fadengeheftete Bindung verwendet für zusätzliche Haltbarkeit und lithografisch auf hochwertigem Papier gedruckt, um die prächtigen Bilder so zu präsentieren, wie sie es verdienen.

Diese neu erweiterte Ausgabe enthält rund 70 Seiten zusätzlichen Inhalt, darunter ein Vorwort des Miterfinders von The 7th Guest und ehemaligen id Software- und Apple-Mitarbeiters Graeme Devine, eine kommentierte Zeitleiste, über 60 zusätzliche Bilder, eine Icon-Galerie und mehr als 6.000 zusätzliche Wörter in den Kapiteln - zusätzlich zu den 115.000 Wörtern der ersten Ausgabe -, die eine Vielzahl zusätzlicher Spiel- und Entwicklergeschichten abdecken, darunter die Geschichten hinter Snood, Chaos Overlords, The Dungeon of Doom und mehr. Außerdem wurde das Design auf der Grundlage von Leserfeedback überarbeitet und aktualisiert, um ein besseres Leseerlebnis zu bieten.

... over with my 3yo and 5yo boys but they loved it!
Format: Hardcover
I wasn't sure how this would go over with my 3yo and 5yo boys but they loved it!! They always enjoy pulling it out and now I can refer back to the characters to remind them of their manners in a more positive way. The only thing is I kinda wish they had used a different animal than pig, since for some reason I don't like saying "don't be like the pigs" (since I don't really want them calling eachother or other kids pigs). But so far it has been fine :) It's also very nice they included "Be kind to animals, they have feelings too." We say that all the time around here since we have kitties. Also the part about table manners is great since we had already been teaching the kids to ask before being excused from the table.

Manners Can Be Fun
Format: Hardcover
What a cute book! I bought it for my 2 and 3 year old boys. We are attempting to teach them simple, common manners in a fun way and they love learning through books. Manners Can Be Fun presents manners in a simple, easy to understand, engaging way. The boys enjoy reading this book and it's a great way to have positive conversations about specific situations they experience daily like sharing toys, picking up after themselves, whining, meal time. It's a fun book!

Wonderful, simple book for children of all ages
Format: Hardcover
I am 65 years old and this was one of my first books. The revisions along the way have not changed the drawings that much. It is simple, but well illustrated, and gives a basic idea of good manners. I recommend it for every child - it makes them think about behavior. The way the author demonstrates "me first" and "whinney" have stuck with me all these years.

LOVE
Format: Hardcover
I must say, I was very touched by this book, the heart behind it specifically. What beautiful illustrations. Our son with autism absolutely LOVES his ABCS and LOVES planes trains and automobiles. Little boys are a gift from God and this book highlights that. From one parent to another, thank you, we all loved it and loved watching his little eyes turn bright and light up. Big hugs.
