5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Read - for Gamers, 23 Jan 2008
By D. A. Penning (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As an aging wargamer, who can still remember the glory days of Avalon Hill and the like this book was a fantastic trip back down memory lane. The fact that more modern games were also discussed, only helped the nostalgia since you could track the journey that gaming has gone through over the last 30-40 years (the bits I remember anyway).

Pretty much all of the articles are well written.

Great for dipping in to, good for a cover to cover read.

When is volume 2 coming out? (There were soooo many games not mentioned that I feel there is easily material).
