I also too learned everything from this one.  Reading enough guides on here and looking thru the varies project has give me endless knowledge.

Supercade is a great coffee table book, although ifI had it to do again, I would get the hardcover over the softcover (binding has come apart).

I don't think it is as good a read as Arcade Fever, but it is a pretty coffee table book.

MameMaster!:

try Gameroommagazine.com. Kevin has a nice web store with neat books---

Great finds, thanks!  I think both Supercade and Arcade Fever sound close to what I"m looking for.  I did read one review off Amazon that said Supercade looked like it over-borrowed from MAME though...  I guess I was hoping for something more like KLOV (vs MAWS) in that regard, would like to see the original cabs.  Are there photos of these in there too?

Anyone read/seen the Encyclopedia of Arcade Games book that's on the Gameroommagazine.com site?  Wondering if that's any good...

Yep, I have this one.  It's pretty good.  It's has a lot more pictures than text.  It has pictures of almost every video game with a short description of each.  It also has esitmated values of each game.

I like it a lot.
