4.0 out of 5 stars Decent Book, November 5, 2005

By	A. Hosner - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I just recieved this book in the mail a couple days ago. Now I got this book because it was about the older consoles. It has:
Dreamcast, N64, Playstation, GBC, PS2, and PC. This book was made in 2001, so it has almost all the PS1, N64, GBC games, and Dreamcast, but has almost no PS2 games. That is fine by me, becasuse I wanted a list of older games, not so much newer ones. It has many pages of reviews, and quick info bits. For the most part the reviews are accurate, but some are off. Basicly this is an big encyclopedia on games, and their reviews. I'd buy it now, because I would think this book will soon go out of print. This due to it being made in 2001. So pick up a copy, I reccomend sellers. This manly because I got mine for $8 with shipping, instead of the $40+.
