Written and photographed by Mark Bussler, producer of Classic Game Room, the longest running Internet video game review show. Mark has collected more than 100 game systems and thousands of games since he started playing Atari 2600 in 1980.
Contained within these pages is a fun, stylish look at game systems that were killed off too soon like the Sega Dreamcast and Atari 7800. Enjoy a look at failed technology like the Tiger R-Zone and Mattel Hyperscan. Underrated gems like the Sega Master System, Hyper Neo-Geo 64, and Nintendo GameCube are covered with stunning imagery and recommended games. The mega-popular Sony PlayStation, Nintendo 64, Game Boy Advance and Microsoft Xbox are showcased here.
Mark suggests recommended games to collect for each game console that delivers the best bang for the buck. For example, when collecting for Sega Dreamcast start out with Chu Chu Rocket, Crazy Taxi and Hydro Thunder; games that are insanely fun and extremely easy to collect.
If you love video games, Pong, and spaceships, you’ll love the Ultra Massive series and may find yourself inspired to begin collecting for something new! In addition to playing Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One you may find yourself immersed in the world of Sega Mark III and Magnavox Odyssey!

This is a great book for game collectors Like volume 1, this is another collection of game systems with great photography in interesting places. It is a continuation of this massive console guide that takes a look at both classic consoles, and more obscure consoles each with very detailed photos, descriptions that include just a touch of humor, and a recommended game list for people who want to get into collecting for them, but don’t know where to start. There is a lot of content and it’s a meaty book covering over 20 systems just…
Fun, Sarcastic and Informative This book is fun and Informative in a way only Mark Bussler can do. Any fan of Classic Game Room, retro games and great photography should buy this book. Now if I could only escape the Zone of Danger.
Yet another volume full of beautiful pictures and information on how to start your collection … Yet another volume full of beautiful pictures and information on how to start your collection for the consoles listed in this one.If you enjoyed the first one, regardless whether your favorite console/console maker is in it, you’re bound to find something fun to read!
