Have been reading this and the 1987 volume of NES Works by @jparish.bsky.social and it is a solid and well done chronicle of gaming history published by @pressrun.bsky.social. It brings back a lot of memories of those NES days and makes me glad we're preserving this history before it is lost.

Books do not always stir excitement, but they thrive in engaging us: in massaging back to life those parts of the brain dulled by another day's banal experiences, helping us become aware again, alive again: eyes open, mind quickened, ears prepared to learn, heart ready to welcome new possibilities.
