Ian Fisher writes: Thankfully there’s someone out there who not only cares about video games but cares about their history as well and that person happens to be Rusel DeMaria. A veteran writer of the video game press industry, Rusel is hoping to give gamers an updated account of video game history in a 3rd edition of his book High Score!: The Illustrated History of Video Games.
To release a 3rd edition of High Score filled with new interviews and segments on games released in the last few years Rusel has taken to Kickstarter to raise awareness on the project and ultimately receive the funding he needs to make the book a reality. It may sound odd that the Kickstarter craze has caught on so much that now projects involving video game books are on the site, but I think it’s something gamers should take note of as it’s important to recognize the past of video games as we move on in various ways as the years progress.

Dude, I actually read this book back in my first year of highschool! :D
Brings back amazing memories. I remember when I moved to my new school, I didn't really know anyone, and I only had a few friends during the first year. I was upset from leaving my old hometown, but reading this book helped me through the bad times. Everytime I felt stressed, I just went onto reading this masterpiece.
Anyone who is interest in retro games, you must check this book out! It has a lot of oldschool video game art and pictures so its not all reading. I don't usually recommend books to gamers, but this is one that I would refer to any gamer.
