Sweet, but when is the 89-90 coming out in soft cover. I have to have all three in soft cover. Can't stand mixing and matching hard and soft covers...


I hear ya. It might be another year or two--not sure yet. Cool, make sure to let us know.

Is famicom covered?

Sorry, there wasn't room to cover Japanese releases. Plus, that's not my area of expertise. Thanks for asking, though.

Brett, do you plan to stop on 1988, or are you going to do 90's too?
EDIT: oops, I see that you have a 1989-1990 book. Are you going to continue the series further?
Right now I'm working on the SNES, CD-i, Jag, and 3DO book. Lots of research and gameplay here, so it will be at least a couple of years before this one comes out. Thanks for asking!

Just got them in the mail today. Did a quick glance read through for 3 hours. Very informative for specific games. Not a ton on info on the systems themselves, but enough to make sure you get the idea. I do feel that they are a little bias toward the NES (not that that is a bad thing at all). Also noticed that the Atari 7800 is covered in the first and 2nd book?
After reading the 2nd book, I am thinking I may need to get a Sega Master system...
Sorry it's taken me so long to reply to this--thanks for reading!

I covered the 7800 in the first book to appease Atari fans, and since it was supposed to come out in 1984. When I wrote the second book, I updated the 7800 section with comparisons to NES and Master System games to make it fit better with the second book, and to give the customer more value.
Yeah, there are some great Master System games that make the system definitely worth owning. Just yesterday I played some two-player Rambo First Blood Part II with my son and had a blast.
