Videogame history is not just a history of one successful technology replacing the
next. It is also a history of platforms and communities that never quite made it;
that struggled to make their voices heard; that aggravated against the conventions
of the day; and that never enjoyed the commercial success or recognition of their
major counterparts. In 'Minor Platforms in Videogame History', Benjamin Nicoll argues
that 'minor' game histories are anything but insignificant. Through an analysis of
transitional, decolonial, imaginary, residual, and minor videogame platforms, Nicoll
seeks out moments of difference and discontinuity in game history. From the domestication
of vector graphics in the early years of videogame consoles to the proliferation of
videogame piracy in South Korea in the 1980s, this book explores case studies that
challenge taken-for-granted approaches to videogames, platforms, and their histories
