sdstuff64 Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 Well I was just at Borders and I saw a book called Game Now by:Lucien King.It was $25 but I said what the hell and got it. It has alot of colors in it.Lots of big pics.I have never heard of it before,and it was printed in 2002 so I am guessing it just came out.There is a bunch of stuff in here about the history of games,but most of it is about the culture of games,something that most books don't talk about. Well I really don't know what to say about it right now,looks flashy and all but looks good and looks like something different.If any of you have read it/heard about I would like to know!

IIRC, it's related to the Game On exhibition running in the UK. I haven't gotten around to mine yet (still in the middle of Supercade and High Score), so I can't comment on it, but I believe I've heard someone else saying it wasn't that great. Dunno. It is pretty new and was in fact a month late as I recall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolenta Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 What can you say about a videogame book that doesn't mention Ralph Baer, has one instance of Nolan Bushnell's name, quotes Joystick Nation, and has a chapter by J.C. Herz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
