Arcade Books
Visitor Q:
Can anyone recommend some good arcade history books? Looking for something with a lot of nice pictures, not to build but for the art and layouts.
Thanks.

I had a copy of the Encyclopedia of Arcade Collecting.
You can obtain it from Amazon.
It had lots of good pictures on a variety of cabinets.
Heavy book to ship, but well worth it.

Also available from GameRoom Magazine, where it is on sale right now.
I have Van Burnham's Supercade, which has lots of pics (mostly screenshots, though).

Hey, here it is. Looks neat. I'll have to get a copy.
Other good ones:
Arcade Fever
Retro Gaming Hacks

I'd say Ultimate History of Video Game is the best. Very Good Read.

Arcade Fever is good.
I don't have Supercade, but would like to.
HighScore is informative, but I didn't like it as much. Not really something you can read through.
