[ukvac] Video Games BOOKS any intrest?
SCORING BIG AT PACMAN first printing January 1982
This is a neat 46 page booklet that includes advice on playing pacman,
looking COOL whilst playing pacman and using Zen as a tool to improve
your pacman game :) It also has Pacman patterns for you to memorise and
some nice background on the GET Brothers who devised them and of the
pacman period. It also has a section on how to play the Atari VCS
version. Warning you could get Pac-Man Fever all over again
Preliminary Price 6.00 + P&P

How To Beat The Videogames
This book has advice on playing Pacman, Battlezone, Qix, Asteriods,
Galaxian. Make Trax, Stargate, Tempest, Berzerk, Gorf, Scramble, Galaga,
Elimonator, Defender, Centipede, Space Invaders, Star Castle, Mousetrap,
Donkey Kong, and Omega Race. I'll get a better description up when I get
my copy.
Preliminary Price 12.00 + P&P

Preliminary Price for both 15.00 + P&P

A chap in the US has LOADS of these books for sale but he's no that keen
on getting a lot of individual orders from the UK, so I thought if
enough people are interested I'll buy in a bundle and distribute them
here. If you'd like any of these then please indicate which and I'll
make up an order. Don't send money yet as the price is only approximate
at this point.

Pictures of the books can be found here:

I'm not trying to make any money on this so the price may go up a little
or may even go down a little :)

Hi Jim,



Put me down for both, though I think I can live without being told how to look cool playing

games. (which, as most people know, is impossible)



Cheers

Chris

Got that haven't opened it yet though.
Has anyone read Phoenix - The Fall and Rise of Videogames ?
I keep meaning to get a hold of that.
