for any video games fan, this week on tv, there was some guy talking about a book on video game. It's call: "HIGH SCORE! the illustrated history of electronic games"...the guy said that the book contain everything historical on electronic games (NES,SNES,N64,ATARI,JAGUAR,PS1,PS2,OLD ARCADES, PC etc...

so i went to buy the book today and WOW that book is nice!! it's start from the 70's until now(PS2,x-BOX,Gamecube), the book shows many games and many other stuff..

The only problem of that book has is that theres nothing about squaresort since squaresoft didnt want to be in the book..

I dont have this book, but I have "GamesMaster's 100 BOOK, Everything you need to know".

It has....
100 Greatest Events In Videogames!
100 Games Machines
100 Greatest Gaming Moments!
100 Top Tips
100 Chunks Of Gaming Jargon.

From Willy Higinbotham's OSCILLOSCOPE, which was a crude two-player game of tennis, in Oct 1958 to PS2/GameCube/XBOX. it has everything.

The only bad thing.....I got that in Oct of 2000, so its a little dated. Still has gotten all of the past history of video knowledge and stuff. :)

I doubt you will find that book anywhere anymore, maybe from Ebay or something like that.

It came with some special issue of GamesMaster. But seriously, that book has some seriously NICE info about almost everything, and Digi 100 Chunks of Gaming Jargon is the best thing in that BOOK. :)

I did too. It was in a Tips and Tricks magazine my older brother got. Why he buys these is beyond me.
