Classic Home Video Games 1985-1988, covering EVERY game for the NES, Master System, and Atari 7800, is now available.
For more info, click on the following link:

Here's a description of the book:
Introduced by Bill “The Game Doctor” Kunkel, one of the most important figures in all of classic gaming, Classic Home Video Games 1985-1988 contains detailed descriptions/reviews of every U.S.-released game for the Nintendo NES, one of the best, most popular video game systems ever produced. The book also contains detailed descriptions/reviews of every U.S.-released game for the Atari 7800 (revised, expanded, and updated from Vol. 1) and the Sega Master System, both of which maintain a loyal fan base to this day.Organized alphabetically by console brand, each chapter in this book includes a description of the game system, followed by substantive, literate, fun-to-read entries (most 125-185 words in length) for every game released for that console, regardless of when the game was produced (meaning hundreds of games are covered).
Each video game entry includes publisher/developer data and the release year, along with gameplay information and, usually, the author’s critique. A glossary provides a helpful guide to the classic video game genres and terms referenced throughout the work, and a preface provides a look at the industry at the time (and how it relates to gaming today), along with anecdotes from the author, a full-time writer who has been a devoted gamer and game collector since the days of Pong, Pitfall!, and Pac-Man.
Classic Home Video Games 1985-1988, which is the follow-up to the critically acclaimed Classic Home Video Games, 1972-1984, also contains photos, historical information, and comparisons to arcade classics, computer games, and similar games for other consoles. Aimed at hardcore gamers, casual fans, and pop culture scholars alike, Classic Home Video Games 1985-1988 is must-reading for anyone interested in the history of the industry and the playability of its games, namely that fondly remembered era that gave us the Atari 7800, the Sega Master System, and the Nintendo NES. _________________ Classic Home Video Games 1972-1984 |

I'm pretty sure the five people who still post here who didn't buy your book the first time you posted about it aren't going to buy it now, guy.
Thanks for still thinking we're relevent, though. |

Sorry I haven't checked in in a while.
Are you still interested in reviewing the book?
If so, send me a PM with the address, and I'll see if I can get my publisher to send you a copy.
Thanks,

Maybe in the springtime, people will come back.
Also, maybe a random program to bump threads/rearrange front page would help. _________________ I felt sheer anarchic joy when I ran over my first pedestrian. |
