Amazon says October 15th for the 16-bit version.

It doesnt appear to cover the SNES, though. Just the neo geo, turbo, and genesis.
Oh well, looks great and I just preordered it.

Oct. 15 is the official date, but it should actually be available some time in August. I expect to get my copies any day now.
The SNES will be in the next volume, which I'm working on now.
Thanks for the pre-order!

I actually preordered 2 so I can give 1 as a gift:)
Quick question though, do you cover every U.S. game on the aforementioned systems, or just most of them?
Looking forward to the SNES edition!

And thanks to everyone who has supported this massive (i.e. ridiculous) project. Without you guys (and people like you), a book series like this would never last. I greatly appreciate it.

And thanks to you for taking the time and dedication for writing it.
Any info on when your SNES edition will be available? I know you are probably exhausted from the 16-bit version, but do you have a date in mind:)

I've got another book coming out before then (title TBA--it's not a part of any series), so it will probably be at least two or three years.
