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

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)      
This review is from: Twin Galaxies' Official Video Game & Pinball Book of World Records; Arcade Volume, Second Edition (Paperback)
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 :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Clearly a "Best of Breed" for Video Game and Pinball fans, 8 April 1999
By A Customer
Without a doubt, this book is a bright and shining star in the Video Game and Pinball world. It is clear Walter spent years collecting high scores from countless sources across the globe. Everything you could possibly want or need to know about high scores for Arcade games, pinball games, home console games and PC games is right here. The stories from the "Golden Age" are very well written and entertaining. Thank you Walter for an excellent book, I look forward to the 2nd edition.
