titles as Castlevania, Donkey Kong, Double Dragon, Duck Hunt, Final Fantasy,
and The Legend of Zelda. Each game, whether obscure or mainstream, is given the
spotlight. In addition to thorough gameplay descriptions, the book includes
reviews, memories, historical data, quotes from vintage magazines, and, best of
all, nostalgic stories about many of the games from programmers, authors,
YouTube celebs, and other industry insiders. The book also features more than
1,500 full-color images, including box art, screenshots, and vintage ads. The
book is a follow-up to the critically acclaimed 2-volume SNES Omnibus set.
