I LOVE maps of video games (I run VGMaps.com: The Video Game Atlas, after all). I love books about retro video games. I love Nintendo consoles in particular. So here we have two books about NES (and Famicom) video game maps! Do I love "Video Game Maps: NES & Famicom" and its "Greatest Hits Edition", both by Brian Riggsbee and from Retro Game Books? Check out my review, and see if these are atlases or art books. (All expressed opinions are my own.)
