Classic Home Video Games, 1985-1988 is a follow up to the 2007 Clas-
sic Home Video Games, 1972-1984. This reference work provides de-
tailed descriptions and reviews of every U.S.-released game for the Nin-
tendo NES, the Atari 7800, and the Sega Master System, all of which are
considered among the most popular video game systems ever produced.
Organized alphabetically by console brand, each chapter includes a
description of the game system followed by substantive entries for every
game released for that console. Video game entries include publisher/
developer data, release year, gameplay information, and, typically, the
author‘s critique. A glossary provides a helpful guide to the classic video
game genres and terms referenced throughout the work, and a preface
provides a comparison between the modern gaming industry and the
industry of the late 1980s.

Former comic shop owner Brett Weiss lives in the Dallas/Fort Worth
area. In addition to his reference books about classic home video
games, he has written for numerous industry magazines, including Video
Game Trader.
