Remember those late-night brawls over what the ‘Best Game Ever’ was? Sure you do. It’s a tradition that continues to this day, albeit one that’s usually lost to the ethers and endless forums of the internet. Luckily, there are still some diehard chroniclers of our beloved electronic history who still love print (i.e. books) alive and kicking, making that tricky holiday shopping for fans of classic console gaming a whole lot easier.
Grayson Hamilton talks with Brett Weiss, author of the new book 100 Greatest Console Video Games: 1977–1987, which collects a decade’s worth of digital excellence in one giant, hardback volume that looks mighty nice on coffee tables and beyond. With a selection culled from platforms as varied as the Atari 2600, Odyssey2, and Intellivision, Vectrex, ColecoVision, Atari 5200 and, yes, even Nintendo’s NES, there’s plenty to talk about to get the true gaming historian nice and frothy.
