      Not correct? VCS was still selling in the late 80s

    3. Albert

      Albert

      Yeah, it's not 100% correct (for instance, some systems are missing), but still interesting nonetheless.

      great page on the game E.T. Random Terrain has tons of great info on his website. I think it is a page all gamers should have book marked. Great stuff.

      Is this the same book that was supposed to be released sometime ago? When will it come out?

    2. Albert

      Albert

      Likely the same book, and it looks like it'll be out soon.

    3. Grig

      Grig

      Fascinating reading. It's not too technical but not dumbed down either. It just presents things as they were. Excellent information. I'm back in the late 70s again! Groovy man ...

      Sorry guys, I tapped the button on my 3DS web browser and I thought it didn't do anything. I deleted the duplicate copies.
