5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent score reference book with stories too., 3 Mar 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Twin Galaxies' Official Video Game and Pinball Book of World Records (Paperback)

This is an excellent score reference book. Well organized, it covers high scores from arcade games as well as home systems and more. This book has scores dating back to early 80's from the beginning of the "golden age of video games". In addition, there are great stories at the back of the book telling stories of score collecting/verifying and highlights several "video game heroes" of the golden age. Also included are the settings required on all games and a section on how to get your own scores in the next addition. A must have book for high scorers and those interested in reading about the golden age of video games!

3.0 out of 5 stars A book of scores - but more stories would be welcomed., 16 Jul 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Twin Galaxies' Official Video Game and Pinball Book of World Records (Paperback)

I picked the book up thinking it was just a list of arcade game scores - but the author chose to also include scores for home video game systems as well. Since the focus of the recollections at the end of the book were about arcade games, a separate book for home systems would be more appropriate. A majority of the entries are for Nintendo systems, which were provided by Nintendo itself, and some are carried out to the top 250 scores. Surely the top 10 would have been plenty. On the plus side are the 200 pages of stories from the Golden Age of arcades. This is the highlight of the book, and despite the author getting a bit self-important at times, makes for very entertaining reading for those of us who were there. If you were an arcade junkie in the early 80's, you may get a kick out of it.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you want world record arcade game scores, this is it!, 15 May 2009

By	Thurstan Johnston "khisanth75" (Hampshire, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Not too much to say about this as it is what it is. Essentially a list of all the world record high scores for arcade machines and emulated arcade machines. Nicely put together, small interviews with various record holders and little tibits of information here and there.

Worth getting as a reference document or to see what scores you need to beat! I hope to make the next issue :)
