It's called Digital Retro. Check it out on amazon here (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/078214330X/qid=1122585602/sr=2-1/ref=pd_bbs_b_ur_2_1/104-4933737-6713533). The pages are super glossy and the info for each PC/console is quite detailed. Anyway I highly recomend it as an interesting conversation piece.

Some of the consoles covered: NES, SMS, VCS, intellivision, coleco, etc...


Here is some trivia that I learned reading it:

What is "Sega" short for?
Why was the company originaly called the answer to the first question?

100 meseta to the first to answer both questions correctly.

Service Games. Because they imported amusement games to the American troops in Japan.
