[George Taylor · Rating 2 out of 5]

I was dismayed at the grammar mistakes until I realized that it was a poor translation. Still, there are a lot of games that I’d never heard of and the author is obviously very passionate about the subject. Still, I feel like I got more from watching gaming history videos on the internet, which is a sad statement coming from a librarian.

Good but very poor translation job.

Interesting and nostalgic!
