High Score 2nd Edition...dont bother!

[swlovinist]

I am sorry to be negative on this book, but aside from all the glossy pictures and great fragmented info, I cant recommend this book. I have the first ed, and when I picked this up I was hopeful that they were going to address many of the issues I had with the fist book, like cramming console games(SNES only was one or two pages!) in between an extensive look at computer start-up companies............... I hate to say this but High Score 2nd Edition gets a low score from me. Sadly I returned my copy today, feeling that there wasn't enough changes to be worthy of another 24.99 of my money.


Does anyone else feel this way, or is it just me????

I was thinking about picking it up. I really like the first one. Granted I would have liked to have seen more coverage of certain systems across the board, but the book does cover a wide variety of systems. It also has some very cool glossy pics and some neat stuf like the old pinball machines in the beginning. What systems does the second edition get into?
