Today, a sense of nostalgia and the irresistible urge to play have
combined to make arcade memorabilia and antique arcade games one of
the hottest collectible fields of our time. This book is filled
with 447 color photos of the greatest games ever to hit the arcade
scene-the earliest arcades' strength testers and fortune tellers,
perennial favorites like baseball games and SKEE-BALL, wild pinball
games from the middle of the century, and modern electronic video
game like PAC MAN and Q*BERT. While American manufacturers have
maintained a solid grip on the market, some interesting offerings
are included from foreign manufacturers. Also included are a
section on novelty products, a detailed discussion of the
development of different game trends, a history of significant
manufacturers and designers, and a thorough price guide. Kurtz
shares tips on how to begin moving in the arcade trading circuit,
how to locate your favorite games, and how to maintain and repair
your collection. Beginning collectors and long-time fans alike will
find Kurtz's information helpful. With its foreword by Sha-Na-Na's
Screamin' Scott Simon this book is a must-read for anyone
interested in the games of yesteryear-and of today!
