17:36 - I should point out corrections to my collage of later "red banner" NES releases... Palamedes shouldn't have one, Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt/World Class Track Meet combo cart doesn't have one (or a box at all), and I forgot to include The Incredible Crash Dummies. If you want PAL region games on here, Mr. Gimmick! has a red banner, and may be the only European game that does. Sometimes Rodland, another PAL exclusive, is seen with one, but apparently it should not have it. (Thanks to Jerry at Embraceware for pointing these out! See his NES (and now Super NES) collecting app here: ruclips.net/video/VWJdwf-_24s/видео.html )
This looks so much better than most of the video game books I had back in the 1980s. Most of them were just plain text, with information that the authors obviously just copied right out of the original game manuals. I like how the author actually played the games in this book.
Great review! The only not-so-gr8-bit was the LJN Back to the Future comment 😄. Back to the Future, Jaws, Friday the 13th and Who Framed Roger Rabbit are some of my favorite games. Glad to see the bloopers at the end!

Excellent review Jon. Thanks. Detailed and funny, as always!

The original book that only goes up to 1988 is discontinued, but you can see my original review of that here:
