[quote name=\'aaron sica\' date=\'Feb 22 2004, 12:58 PM\'] I fully agree....As someone who picks up "High Score!" and "The Complete History of Video Games" every time he goes into Borders, [/quote]
 Do you mean "The Ultimate History Of Video Games?" The 600-page tome? I received that for Xmas, and I'm reading that now, and I can't recommend it highly enough, it's about as complete and accurate as one could ask for so far....

 After checking on Amazon, yes, my mistake - "The Ultimate History of Video Games". I honestly don't know why I just don't bite the bullet and buy the book, as it is an excellent one..."High Score" has out a 2nd edition as well, but that's mainly pictures, IIRC..

I should look into that. Not a thing wrong with a mostly-picture book, especially when it's mostly pictures of old, great video games! :)

EDIT: Oh, wait, I have this! (The first edition, anyhow). Yes, a lot of pictures, but they are excellent ones, and there is a lot of great information in there as well!

ChuckNet:
And you should also check out "Phoenix: The Rise and Fall of Video Games" by Leonard Herman, which I believe I also brought w/me to GSC11 last summer...large chunks of it were used as part of the bonus materials to Atari Anniv. Edition Redux for PS1.

I'm not buying that conclusion.  Another promo had Asteroids supered over a clip of Lingo, a show that's not going anywhere (that I know of).

Wonder how a promo with a What's My Line clip would look? Imagine a video game superimposed during Dorothy Kilgallen's questioning!
