- This is a research monograph and a “longer-form output”, totaling 296 pages and about 80K words. It has been researched for about 10 years (2008-2018). The book represents one of the first monographs to explore the cultural history of video games and their content, and pioneers work in a new and emergent field (historical video game studies). As such, it required significant innovation and creative investigation. Research included developer interviews, work at the Autry Museum of the American West, and access to myriad game titles and reviews.
