5.0 out of 5 stars Great to re-read one of my favorite books, 2 Aug 1999
By A Customer
I reread this and had just as much fun the second time. It's a great ride-- the story of Tetris alone is worth the price of admission. Though the book is historical, there's still lots to learn if you're in the game industry. It's easy to forget the great lessons imparted by the best game designers ever -- people like Miyamoto and Pajitnov.

5.0 out of 5 stars THIS IS THE MUST HAVE BOOK FOR NINTENDO FANS, 2 Aug 1999
By A Customer
Game Over is a bible for people who love Nintendo or the videogame industry for that matter. I have the original version of this book, and read it from cover to cover in like 2 days. Now that the 2nd edition is out I am going to have to get that, this book is that good. I feel that this book is a must have for anyone who likes videogames. 5 STARS
