Koji Kondo's Super Mario Bros. Soundtrack
I read this around the same time. It talks at length about the audio capabilities of the NES, which I haven't touched on here but are interesting and influential!
A book about the ZX spectrum, one of the more unusual games for it, punk rock, and the Thatcher government.

The single most important resource. Has nearly every document I ended up using.
A more detailed treatment of some of the 6502 behaviours.
A hardware-level simulator of the 6502.
A hardware-level simulator of the PPU.
