About the book
This is a review and price guide to Arcade video games, it has small sections on Europe and world Arcade games but mostly looks at the video games released in the USA between 1971 to the late 1990's. There is also a look at other collectable related to Arcade games, such as brochure advertising the games, soundtracks, toys, and cards. Most of the arcade game's cabinets are shown in full color, but many pictures are taken from advertisements for the machines, showing the different styles of release and sometimes the entire advertisement brochure ad. A few of the games are seen in black and white photographs, but ever game reviewed as a picture and usually a price that most collector's would be expected to pay to own it.
