Need inspiration for building an arcade-cabinet? This book helped me very much - loads of game and cabinet-pictures, featuring Computer Space and Pong, Space Invaders, Asteroids, Defender, Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Centipede :-) Galaga, Gorf, Ms. Pac-Man, Tempest, Dig-Dug, Joust, Q*Bert, Tron, Dragon's Lair, Zaxxon, Star Wars, Gauntlet, and many more! Includes also interviews with Nolan Bushnell (Atari), Buckner&Garcia and Eugene Jarvis (Defender).

This book is really heavy! Not so easy to read this on the couch - it starts with the very first electronic game ever - a preliminary pong made 1958! A big history of electronic, arcade & computergames from its very first start, about Atari, Commodore, Intellivision, many classic games, Ms. Pac-Man, Qix, Zaxxon, Stargate, Wizard of War, Atari VCS2600 & 5200, Colecovision, Donkey Kong junior, and so on and so on! 

Very thick, many stories, must have!

The latest book I bought. Wonderful photos there! Here is  a synopsis from Amazon:

Synopsis
This work turns time back to the Stone Age of computer games in the early 1980s, long before Gameboy and Playstation existed. Desgner Jaro Gielens collected more than 380 originally wrapped, battery-powered oldschool computer games. The finest and craziest are presented here.
