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.

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.
