ARTCADE - The Book of Classic Arcade Game Art (Extended Edition) | Retro Gaming Book by Bitmap Books

Bought for a friend that is into his arcade classics. Seriously impressive book, packaging and print. Since Bought a copy for myself!

Absolutely loved this book. The presentation and quality is exceptional with over 350 pages, most of which have artwork on including more than 200 beautiful pages displaying the original marquee artwork in A-Z order from 1942 to Zaxxon. That is 1 per page so outstanding number to view. There are even 39 pages of side designs of some cabinets. There is a small review of each design at the end of the book and some great introductions and interviews at the start. Brilliant and a few photo's thrown in for good measure.Whilst I love it and am glad I purchased it and also give it very well deserved 5 stars, if I had one small gripe it would be that it does not include marquee's from 2 of my fav games - Missile Command (is included in the side art however) and Lunar Rescue. All the other classics however are there but it is not completist and I would have liked to have seen Kangaroo and Popeye and even Dragon's Lair. but considering there are tens of other amazing games I have never heard of. If you loved old arcade games you will treasure this.Thank you Bitmap Books and Tim Nicholls for what is a real labour of love.If you are reading this still then BUY IT and enjoy :o)

Beautiful artwork, interesting historical notes and detail. A real visual treat and an amazing present for any arcade fan.

It's a good reference book for nostalgia arcade games

Great book. Arcade lovers dream.
