High Score 3rd Edition

[thehistorian]

Hey everyone..

I'm good friends with Rusel DeMaria writer of "High Score! The Illustrated History of Electronic Games" and is starting the 3rd edition of his book.

In an effort to make the book the best it can be he has started a Facebook group. He is looking for people who are familiar with the book to make suggestions on how he can improve and expand it.

If you are so inclined please help by joining.

Thanks everyone!

3rd edition? I didn't even know there was a 2nd! I have the 1st though, and I really enjoyed it. Wasn't 100% perfect, but it's still a good read and I recommend it.

My thoughts exactly. What changed from 1st to 2nd edition? I know there were some errors, like a screenshot for "Sonic the Hedgehog 4" on the Genesis page... At any rate, it's the ultimate coffee table book, and I'd LOVE to see a revised edition.

Gah, am I finally going to have to register on Facebook? Myspace was enough...

I sent Rusel a couple corrections way back; I hope the made it into version 2 but I have no idea if they did or not. Does anyone know if version 2 was expanded? It's probably not worth it for me to buy it just to try to help out, but if it was expanded and I could get a cheap copy, well maybe...

From what I hear, the 2nd edition expanded on the European computer scene, which was admittedly left out of the first. As for finding a used copy, I think they start at around $40 at amazon, but I haven't looked that hard yet.

I loved the first edition, and will probably end up buying the third, my first edition has seen a lot of use!

I have the second edition. It does have quite a few good corrections and that larger Euro computer scene. I wouldn't say it was leaps and bounds better than the first, but it did add a few things that were sorely missed.

I hope Rusel can keep expanding well on his work, I enjoyed reading both editions of the book.
