For those too cheap to buy Saint's book...

Check it out from the library.  Here is a website that can find books from libraries from all over the world.  Here is the search for Project Arcade.  It's actually a great resource for hard to find stuff.

Although I'm always willing to save a buck or 2, this book is one of the best investments for anyone who likes anything about arcades.

Mine looks like crap now (way too much abuse in the last year).  Plus when Saint starts publishing Trilogies, they will be worth $$$$$

I don't think the books will become too valuable until after they make a movie adaptation of it.

I ordered it but in the meantime I'm using the only copy available at the Singapore library.
Wish list: Galaga, Pacman, Pooyan, Star Wars cockpit, Gauntlet, Tron

And the Lord spake, saying, 'First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three. No more. No less. Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three.

I bought the book a while back and read it multiple times.  Then I let a friend borrow it.  I haven't seen it since.   :'( :cry: :cry:
