I actually have that book... I remember reading it as a kid many times, then finding it last year at a book sale. When I set up my Mame cab, I hunted down all the games in that book that were emulated so I could finally play them after almost 30 years.

Were there any games in that book that aren't emulated now?

Monaco GP comes to mind, but it was TTL-based. There were also 1 or 2 other games I couldn't find.

I just found my copy of the book while cleaning out the attic. Won't be getting rid of it now.
