Featuring interviews with the creators of 35 popular video
games-including John Madden Football, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3,
WCW/nWo Revenge, and RBI Baseball-this book gives a
behind-the-scenes look at the creation of some of the most
influential and iconic (and sometimes forgotten) sports video games
of all time. Recounting endless hours of painstaking development,
the challenges of working with mega-publishers and the
uncertainties of public reception, the interviewees reveal the
creative processes that produced some of gaming's classic titles.
Abundantly illustrated, easy-to-follow guide shows beginning and veteran prestidigitators how to successfully perform over 100 tricks, including The Inexhaustible Hat, The Cut and Restored Turban, The Chinese Rings, The Rising Cards, Steel Through Steel, Fingers That See and dozens of other remarkable feats-each graded according to difficulty.

Darts Miscellany collects together all the vital information you
never knew you needed to know about the game of arrows. In these
pages you will find irresistible anecdotes and the most mindblowing
stats and facts. Heard the one about 'The Viking's' "pre-match
nutrition" consisting of "25 bottles of Holsten Pils and six steak
'n' kidney pies"? How about the darter who wore sequins and carried
a candelabra? Or the forgotten legend 'The Martial Dartist'? Do you
know which player was fictionalised in a novel as 'Keith Talent'?
Which superstar crooner was once a local Darts Association
president? Or which darts legend (who contributed the foreword
here) had a degree in history from Cambridge University? All these
stories and (at least) one hundred and eight-eee more appear in a
brilliantly researched collection of trivia - essential for any
darts fan who holds the riches of the sport's history close to
their heart.
