Jason K. ★★★★★

Didn't expect a hardcover this hefty for a book about 1979-1985 Japanese consoles, but the paper quality is genuinely nice and the photos hold up well. The section on the Road to NES answered questions I'd had for years. Glad I grabbed it before the pre-order window closed.

Scarlett ★★★★☆

The chapters on the pre-Famicom consoles finally explain why so many early Japanese machines flopped outside their home market. Paper quality is nice, though a few of the hardware photos print a bit dark. Solid read for anyone into gaming history.

Miles T. ★★★★☆

The chapters on the pre-Famicom consoles cover a lot of ground I'd only seen scattered across forum posts before. Jeremy Parish's writing stays readable even when he's digging into hardware specs, though I wish the screenshots were printed a bit larger. Solid pick-up if you grew up with these machin
