Hey everyone,
 
My latest book, The 100 Greatest Console Video Games: 1977-1987, is now available for pre-order. It's a hardcover, full-color book from Schiffer Publishing: 
 
 
There have been many top 100 books before, but rarely one like this. Here are the best of the early video games, shown in over 400 color photos and described in incredible detail in the entertaining and informative text. Each game's chapter features production history, critical commentary, quotes from industry professionals, gameplay details, comparisons to other games, author anecdotes, and more.
 
The 100 Greatest Console Video Games: 1977-1987 celebrates the very best of the interactive entertainment industry's games from this highly crucial, fondly remembered decade. This pivotal period was marked by the introduction of the indispensable Atari 2600, Odyssey2, and Intellivision, the unleashing of the underrated Vectrex, the mind-blowing debut of the next-gen ColecoVision and Atari 5200, plus the rebirth of the industry through Nintendo's legendary juggernaut, the NES. Whether you're young or old, new to the hobby or a hardcore collector, this book will introduce you to or remind you of some of the greatest, most historically important games ever made.
 
As always, thanks for reading!

Amazon is saying July 28, but it will probably be available by May or June.

Love my copy of the 85-88 one; it's on my desk right now. I'll definitely be picking this up.

My bandmate criticized it, saying that there were countless game summaries/reviews online, but I personally enjoy walking away from the computer Keep up the great work dude!

Thanks for the kind words!

Your bandmate may enjoy the "100 Greatest" book better than the reference books since it has anecdotes, quotes, and other things aside from just game descriptions/reviews.
