THE WINNERS' BOOK OF VIDEO GAMES

Craig Kubey



 

Here's how to prove the superiority of man over machine, girl over gadget, human over humanoid... The Winners' Book of Video Games!


Novice, practiced player, video game veteran - take heart! Now you can conquer the coin-op or home game that's flashing its phantom lights to lure you into combat. Here's how you can win against Asteroids, Missile Command, Defender, Pac-Man - and every game the engineers can dream up.

  • Specific Strategy: Here's an 8-point plan of action plus adaptations for each game

  • Socko-analysis: Here's how to size up a new game, handle your own psychological hang-ups and capture control

  • Hot Tips: Here are insights for particular games. For example, in Asteroids, hit those small fast rocks before you try for the drifting slow ones. In Defender, keep that last Humanoid from being transformed into a Mutant at any cost

  • A Trivia Trove: How to talk as good a game as you play - game history, terminology, quick quizzes, facts, figures and funny spin-offs.

It's fun to play! It's a thrill to win! It's smart to read! The Winners' Book of Video Games
