The
Fan's Guide to the Golden Age of Video Games Do you remember the difference between playing singles and doubles? Have you mastered the delicate art of hyperspace? Can you say "joystick" in polite conversation without blushing? If you've answered "yes" to any of these questions, then Arcade Fever is the book for you—the world's first illustrated tribute to Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Defender, Q*bert, Zaxxon, and many, many more of the mind-blowing games you played in your youth. You want to reminisce about the coolest Atari cartridges, the silliest-named arcade oddities, and the funkiest bass riff ever used in a video game? You want interviews with early arcade heroes like Atari founder Nolan Bushnell, Robotron designer Eugene Jarvis and "Pac-Man Fever" composers Buckner + Garcia? You want to look at revealing pictures of Dragon's Lair hottie Princess Daphne? It's all in Arcade Fever, a jam-packed celebration of '70s and '80s arcade culture. Copyright
