This is a review and reference guide for all the video game systems released in the U.S.A. between 1985-2002. It gives a review, a rarity listing, and a price for each game reviewed. The games covered are from the 8 bit era and later, up to but excluding PlayStation games, in alphabetic order by system, and by game. It also reviews unlicensed games, and limited release games such as those for the NES Aladdin Deck Enhancer and import Sachen games. The Nintendo 64 coverage ends with the release of "The Powerpuff Girls: Chemical X-Traction" in late 2001, and later games like 'Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3' aren't listed. The book has many cover scans of the games artwork, but unlike the Amazon.com and Google.com previews of the book, these images aren't in color but in grey scale. It was originally a print on demand book. This was going to be the first in a long series of books, 6 other books are listed as coming soon but were never published. At the bottom of each page in small print is a game fact.
