The
second edition omitted the word 'home' from its subtitle as more coverage
was given to major historical arcade games. The book contained over 130
system photographs and screen prints; a major enhancement over the first
edition, The typeset was completely redone and the book included three
additional chapters covering the years 1994-1996. The appendices from the
first edition were disposed in favor of new sections covering classic cartridge
based computers and an introduction to the Internet. The two indexes in
the first edition were merged together to form one large index. Keith Feinstein
from the Electronics Conservatory (Videotopia)
designed a nice colorful
cover which unfortunately wasn't ready by the time the book went to
print so I put together the Pong-type design and the logo.
There are scarce differences between the three printings of this edition. The second printing contains an Errata page instead of the mail-in coupon at the back of the book. The third printing updated the magazine and website appendices. |
