Collecting Classic Video Games (Schiffer Book for Collectors)

Rating:
Summary: Great addition to the Classic Games Collector
Review: ... Indeed if you want indepth explanation how the price of a game is made up and some background stories you can buy f.e. the Digital Press Guide (lots of text and black and white) ...
But if you want a good overview of all Atari, Colecovision, Intellivision and lots of other consoles and games in full colour, with a price indication, this book is one of the best on the market for classic game collectors.

Summary: Any 5 year old monkey could have written this book...
Review: This is a picture book and price guide on everyone's favorite video games/game systems. The pictures are nice, but the set up is very amateur-ish. What little wording there is throughout could have been written by any 2nd grader. The author seemed to do very little research on the systems. No years, or why games were rare, or any history whatsoever. Just a collection of pictures that the author found. Definitely not worth $.... I'd give someone $...at a garage sale though.
