Great Look At Japanese Arcade Gaming
I thought this book was really good. It gives a really good insight into the Japanese arcade industry, which unfortunately has taken a battering in this country. When I was a kid, seaside holidays were all about going to the arcades for me. They were magical places filled with flashing lights, loud noises and games that just dragged you in and kept you coming back for more. This book lets you into the world of the Japanese arcade goer, and there are many different types of people that are lured into this leisure activity. The book has interviews with hardcore fighting game professionals, housewives taking on the businessmen at mahjong, and lovers of anything with a dedicated cabinet, be it a gun shooter, horseriding machines or classic sit down driving games.

When I was a kid, seaside holidays were all about going to the arcades for me. They were magical places filled with flashing lights, loud noises and games that just dragged you in and kept you coming back for more. This book lets you into the world of the Japanese arcade goer, and there are many different types of people that are lured into this leisure activity. The book has interviews with hardcore fighting game professionals, housewives taking on the businessmen at mahjong, and lovers of anything with a dedicated cabinet, be it a gun shooter, horseriding machines or classic sit down driving games. The book is divided into a number of chapters, each one dedicated to a different area of arcade gaming. It's amazing to think that while the arcade industry in this country has all but disappeared, in Japan there are absolutely massive buildings just dedicated to arcade gaming, including a 5 storey block just for the playing of Mahjong. I would recommend this book to anyone with an interest in video gaming, especially those who appreciate the massive influence Japanese culture and design have played in the advancement of gaming the world over. It game me a lot of info that I wasn't aware of and let me know that there are geeks like me all over the world :)
