One of the more enthusiastic supporters of the SNES Omnibus
project, and of retro gaming in general, Michael Thomasson wrote more entries
for
The SNES Omnibus: The Super Nintendo and Its Games, Vol. 1 (A-M) than any
other contributor, and he's killin' it on Vol. 2. I’ve known Michael since the 2003
Classic Gaming Expo, and he’s
been a good friend ever since. He’s a devoted family man, a fine writer, a big
ColecoVision fan, and an all-around nice guy. He even designed the cover for
one of my books. And he’ll talk your ear off with
all kinds of interesting stories from the video game industry and from life in
general. I consider myself lucky to call Michael a friend and colleague.
Michael Thomasson is one of the most widely respected video game
