The CRPG Book Project: Sharing the History of Computer Role-Playing Games
From the intro:
The CRPG Book Project is a collaborative, nonprofit project created to compile the history of Computer
Role-Playing Games into an accessible and educative volume. The book was written by volunteers from
all continents, ages and walks of life: developers, journalists, modders, critics, scholars and fans, but also
parents, couples, grandfathers, doctors, teachers, engineers, businessmen, etc.
The purpose of the project is to spread our passion for this great genre, sharing knowledge that is currently
scattered across countless forums, magazines, websites and minds. The book covers CRPGs from 1975 to 2015,
plus contains several articles, mod recommendations, developer quotes and interesting trivia, in an effort to
create a guide that will have something to offer to old-school veterans and new players alike.
I haven't read it, but it's 528 pages and seems pretty comprehensive.
