If anything, the author presents an entertaining and comedic take on his experiences with video gaming. Of particular amusement to me is his hilarious take on his early video gaming years. As a young video game player in the early eighties and nineties, I can easily relate to the author's stories of fighting over quarters pizza parlors, the excitement of opening the box of the latest game systems, and challenging the "Street Fighter" masters at the local arcades. The book also includes a pretty comprehensive section on emulation, and the quizzes scattered throughout the book will pick your video game brain. If you're looking for a candid look at a true gamer's experience and want a time capsule of what's gone on in the video game market over the last 2 decades, this book may be for you.

get crazy sometimes. I'm a pretty big gamer so I share some of the experiences the writer has. Some of the stories can really get outrageous sometimes but they're really funny. If you're not a gamer, avoid this book. About half of the book may not make any sense to you since the writer assumes alot of things from the reader. I really dig his quiz though. It brought me back to memory lane.
