Reviews
"They say you can't go back again, but reading Vintage Games comes close. Open the book, and I'm back in the video arcades of my youth. Turn the page, and I'm in college again, discovering the secret joys of the early PC games. Turn the page again, and I'm back in my living room, playing Mario with my young kids. But Vintage Games is more than just a trip down memory lane, because the authors analyze each game in ways that bring fresh insights to those nostalgic memories." -Steve Meretzky, Veteran Game Designer "An interesting and insightful trip down a gamer's memory lane, focusing on titles that have become benchmarks in videogame history." -Didi Cardoso, Managing Editor, Grrlgamer.com Quotes on the author's history of game platform material that has been run by Gamasutra: Harold Goldberg on VH1 Game Break: "takes readers down gaming's memory lane" Complex Magazine (Complex.com): "we're loving [Loguidice and Barton's] multi-part history of gaming platforms." Dan Sandler writing on OrlandoSentinel.com: "...an excellent article on the history of the console. Definitely worth a good read through." Antiriad2097 at Retro Gamer forum (UK): " I've enjoyed Bill and Matt's written work and opinions on sites/forums (Armchair Arcade never ceases to amaze me with the depth of its discussions) for a number of years, so I personally expect this to be a high standard production." "If a German translated text (The Encyclopedia of Game.Machines) can make the grade, how good is this going to be?"; and "With this extended [system] coverage, I'm now wanting the book. Can I pre-order?" SafeCracker (Dave) at MonroeWorld.com forums (RetroGaming Radio): "Awesome article. Loved the pictures and well written." and "Please let us (me) know when the book is available. This looks to be a must buy." Zach Whalen on Gameology, a site for academic gamers: "an excellent feature article on the history of the [system] console" Rom Hunter at AtariAge forums: "Applause! By far the best [system] article I've ever read. As a die hard [system user] I truly enjoyed reading this. Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work! PS: Please write something of this quality about the [another system] too." StarSpangledHaggis blog: "Is it *completely* dorky that I got a bit teary-eyed reading this retrospective of the [system]?" Bogdan (UncleSpam) on Amiga.org (comments): "Actually, a very nice article. It took me back in time to the first day I got my [system], back in 1983. Left me with a smile on my face." Shane R. Monroe on his RetroGaming Radio show for October 2007: (para.) "Everything you'd ever want to know in just six pages..."; "...even if you think you know all about the [system], you'll learn something new", "Vintage Games is an impressive and entertaining read if you are interested in the video game industry. Reading about how such an interesting industry came to where it is today is very fun, and seeing how it got here on such specific levels such as genre and mechanics is even better. The easy to read categorization of the information works. Whether you're a new gamer yearning for a history lesson on your favorite hobby or a veteran wanting to read up on your favorite classics, Vintage Games has what you're looking for."--GameIndustry and GameInformer.com "A study on video games - particularly those video games which have had the greatest influence on the market today, whether they were big successes at retail, genre-defining or even genre-creating. Vintage Games has a superb layout - each chapter is accompanied by a variety of screenshots, promotional materials and other paraphenalia, all in full colour. The text is masterfully written; it's sharp, insightful and to-the-point and doesn't suffer from the stuffiness of other academically focused video game publications.. Vintage Gamesis highly recommended reading. If you are looking to learn more about the origins of some of the most influential video games to date, then VintageGames' wonderful layout and clear, concise and insightful writing make it a vital resource."--RetgroGamesAus.com, "Vintage Games is an impressive and entertaining read if you are interested in the video game industry.
