Title: Official "Classic Home Video Games" Thread
Post by: ColecoVisionist on November 28, 2015, 05:39:05 PM
Hi Everyone,

It's been awhile since I've been on the RFG boards, so I thought I would post some updates.

I'm working on the fourth and final book in the "Classic Home Video Games" series. It will cover the SNES, Jaguar, CD-i, 3DO, and other consoles from that time. I'm making good progress, but publication is still at least a year away.

I recently wrapped up an encyclopedia on the rock band KISS, and it will be out during the spring or summer of 2016.

My 100 Greatest Console Video Games: 1977-1987 book is available at Barnes & Noble stores, and on Amazon. Check out the Retroist's review:

I also self-published a book called Retro Pop Culture A to Z: From Atari 2600 to Zombie Films:

I contributed to Pat "The NES Punk" Contri's forthcoming book, which you can check out here:

As always, thanks for reading!

Hi Brett,
I had your Retro Pop Culture book recommended to me by someone on Facebook from my wife's gaming group. I'll have to check it out some time.
Good luck on the upcoming book. It's the one I'm most interested in.

I am eager to see how NESPunk's book will be. Retro Pop Culture is also on my to-read list

Hi everyone, I have a new YouTube channel that I hope you'll check out.

If you want to drool over the Stadium Events cart or play the world's largest Pong machine, you'll have to visit The National Videogame Museum in Frisco, Texas, but here's a sneak peak at some of the things you'll find at the first dedicated facility of its type in the U.S.:
