Game Over: How Nintendo Zapped an American Industry, Captured Your Dollars, and Enslaved Your Children is a non-fiction book written by David Sheff and published by Random House, New York in 1993.

Based on many extensive interviews of high level historical figures, it has provided a research foundation for subsequent works, with a positive critical reception.

[11] Sheff defends the accuracy of the "enslaved your children" portion of the subtitle, stating that "kids will play the games compulsively and non-stop".

[15] Prior to the book's publication, its excerpts appeared in San Francisco Focus, Men's Life, Playboy and Rolling Stone magazines.

[16] The first edition of the book was published by Random House on March 1, 1993, with the subtitle How Nintendo Zapped an American Industry, Captured Your Dollars, and Enslaved Your Children.

New subjects discussed in this edition include the controversy over the censored SNES release of Mortal Kombat, the growing competition from Sony, Atari and 3DO, and the announcement of the new Nintendo 64 console.

[23] Clarence Petersen of the Chicago Tribune called it "a cross between Barbarians at the Gate and The Soul of a New Machine",[18] while Steven L. Kent from that same newspaper, reviewing a later edition, described it as "an excellent read for anybody" and "the best look at Nintendo ever given to the public.

[26] Deirdre McMurdy of Maclean's said, "Sheff painstakingly documents the history of Nintendo and its relentless rise to dominance of the global toy industry.

[15] In 2015, Jeremy Parish of US Gamer stated that Sheff's high level of interview access to major historical figures was "unprecedented (and unduplicated)".
