    Default Books about Nintendo and Tengen

    Are there any good books/essays/whatevers about the relationship between Nintendo and Atari/Tengen in the NES days? What I've gleaned on Wikipedia and the like makes it seem like a very interesting topic, but I'm not sure if there's any extensive reading on the subject.

    Game Over

    There may be others, but that's the first last and only one you really need to read.

    I found Game Over to be a bit too pro-Nintendo, but it does go into more detail about Tengen and things like Tetris than any other source does.
