Some of you know that I work in the book and publishing industry and I thought it might be a good oppportunity to introduce a title which I purchased recently. "Wait a minute... shouldn't this thread be in the Entertainment section?" Fret not, I guarantee the topic would be appropriate for the Video Games section.
Without further ado, I present the title "1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die". It is a whooping 960 pages; although not all of them contain screenshots from the various games, it is definitely informative enough to bring back fond memories. Numerous games hailing from the 1970s till today are introduced. Of course, the book isn't flawless. There are many video games which I thought deserved to be mentioned, but were unfortunately left out. Examples include Quest for Glory, Heroes of Might and Magic II and III, etc.
If you do have some money to spare, why not drop by your local bookstore to see if the above-mentioned title is available? It brought a smile to my face, especially when reminiscing fun times I had with my friends during our younger days.
