  1. Yo, retro gamers! You can order a signed copy of my latest book, The 100 Greatest Console Video Games: 1988-1998, direct from me. Simply PayPal $50 to brettw105@sbcglobal.net (includes US shipping). Or, check out my Square site for this and other books: https://brettweiss.square.site/ Thanks for reading! As most gamers know, the decade the book covers is incredibly crucial. It was during this time that the NES reached its zenith with such titles as Contra and Super Mario Bros. 3, the Sega Genesis blew everyone away with Sonic the Hedgehog, the Super Nintendo released to critical acclaim, the Sony PlayStation took video games to the next level, and the Nintendo 64 broke new ground with 3-D Mario and Zelda. Amazing! This book covers the era in great detail, with each game getting an in-depth essay that includes history, development info, nostalgic stories, and much more. I wrote more than a dozen of the essays, with other writers and industry notables contributing essays on their favorite games as well. This is a gorgeous hardcover book weighing in at 272 pages with full-color photos throughout.
  2. Hello! I'm super excited to announce that my next book is now live on Kickstarter! The 100 Greatest Console Video Games: 1988-1998 is the follow-up to my best-selling book, The 100 Greatest Console Video Games: 1977-1987. A gorgeous, full-color hardcover, it will pick up right where the first book left off, covering the next decade in the history of video games in incredible detail. Each of the 100 games featured will get at least 2 to 3 full pages of thorough coverage, including history, production info, author anecdotes, developer quotes, gameplay details, reviews, box art, screenshots, vintage magazine ads, fun facts, and more. This will be a fun, colorful book! You can click HERE to check it out. Thanks for reading, and thanks for your support! Brett Weiss

  6. Certainly, Canada is fine! Thanks for entering! Ditto on Coleco/favorite/Christmas(1982 for me).
  7. Posting here was just to alert people of the contest. To win, you have to comment on YouTube and Facebook. Not just YouTube because FB lets me contact the winner. Sure, I can contact AtariAge people here, but it's a Facebook/YouTube contest.
  8. That's actually a good point. I should have thought of mentioning that you need Facebook in order to participate.
  9. Sorry, but Facebook is the best way to track the winner and get in touch with him or her. Thanks
