yay... I've wanted this book for ages (got a photocopy) and with a price of $1.38 on ebay I just had to get it :-)

I have always wanted to read this as well.  I need to try and find me a cheap copy...

I could do a PDF of my photocopied "copy" if you want... it wouldn't take long using the photocopier at work with its nifty PDF feature

I appreciate the offer, but I think I would rather have it in hardback to read.  :D Thanks though!

I can understand.... good luck :-)

It's a very intersting read...There's an updated version now that they were selling at GameStop for .99 cents.  I don't know if they still have it, but there's a chapter covering the post N64 era.

Yeah, I'm looking for a copy of the revised book with the Andy Eddy chapter(s)

Congrats man, great price.

Wow that looks like a REALLY interesting read.  Is this book difficult to find?  I'd love to give this a quick read sometime.  

Atonomizer, if they still have this at your GameStop, would you mind picking it up for me?

hey nick--if I come across one, sure.  However, they stopped carrying almost everything nintendo over here.

yeah thats awesome nice find.

I got the book with extra chapters (called Game over: Press start to Continue) for Christmas from my girlfriend.  I haven't had a chance to read it yet though, I read a different book that she gave me instead.  The other book is "Power Up:  How Japanese Video Games Gave the World an Extra Life" by Chris Kohler.  I thought it was a great read, you might want to give it a shot after you finish Game Over Martin.

Cool, thanks for the info... I'll try to find that book.

I read that from the public library when it was contemporary. I guess I was maybe 13 or so. Great read.

Thanks for the tip. I loved Game Over when I read it a few years ago but it left me wanting more. I just picked up "Power-Up" on Amazon for $45 which is a bit steep, but I cant wait to read it

The book is fantastic, and really is a must-read for any NES-era Nintendo fan.  

If anyone's still looking for a copy, you can get in on Amazon for relatively cheap.

I need a copy still....thanks for the info.

I have a copy of this book. I got it 2 years ago but I hate reading. I read the first 3 chapters and put it down. I thought the parts that I read were super interesting but for some reason I just can't get into a book not even a non-fiction about Nintendo. Definitely glad I have the book though and don't want to part with it.

The research that David Sheff did about Nintendo's early history was very extensive. I never realized all the crap Nintendo did back then to become the juggernaut they are today.

Thanks for the info.....

LOL this was started in 07 and it's still being replied to. As long as people chat it's all good i suppose!

It's a great book and there's a few parts that tell like a proper story.  Loses focus a bit towards the end but well worth reading.

Hey even I want that book but I couldn't find it!! Is there any body who knows the link from where I can download it!!

the new book console wars looks interesting
