This is the fourth book I've read from Jamie Lendino and it's a really good one. I had a lot of issues with he previous book, Faster Than Light, and most of them seemed to be corrected here.
There are still too many games for my liking. This is a history of the rise and fall of the arcades and I think probably half of the games in the book aren't needed to tell the story. Jamie does include a lot of great information about what was happening, why the arcades faded, and some of the major players and trends in the arcade industry over the years.
