Title: BOOK: The Ultimate History of Video Games Post by: Lord Nepenthean on October 22, 2004, 01:28:55 PM (http://www.gameroommagazine.com/books/bk_ulthistvid.jpg)
Quote by Steven L. Kent 608 pages ALL-NEW EDITION! A fascinating detailed chronicle of the video game phenomenon. Originally published privately by the author as "The First Quarter" (now a sought-after first edition) this all-new version contains 160 ADDITIONAL PAGES of new and corrected text. It's huge -- 608 pages laced with quotes, photos and historical tales by the folks who worked so steadily to hook us on their new arcade creations. Two and a half pounds of video game reading! Highly recommended for ANY coin-op hobbyist's library. If any of you are interested in purchasing this, let me know ASAP. I can get 5-10 copies of this pretty cheap if you're interested. List price is $19.95. I can sell them for say.... $8 plus the exact cost of shipping via the USPS. Anyone who wants one, let me know.

I estimated the weight of the book at 2 lbs., but that was a complete guess. I think the book is about 8.5 by 11 by 1.5 inches, but that is also an estimate. It depends on how long you want to wait I guess. Title: Re: BOOK: The Ultimate History of Video Games Post by: thx1138 on October 23, 2004, 10:40:48 AM Yes please. I want one! :)

Is it anything like Game Over: An Illustrated History of Videogames(or some title close to that)? Title: Re: BOOK: The Ultimate History of Video Games Post by: Antimind on October 24, 2004, 12:01:22 PM It's prolly the best book I've ever read so if you don't have it get it! Sorry Mike, I got mine when I went to NYC back in July. If I didn't already have it I'd have bought one though :)
