While I expected this to just be a nice SNES art book, it turns out to be really information dense, with in-depth articles on the development of several games I played as a kid, including Donkey Kong Country and Star Fox。 Each game covered includes either a brief review or commentary from someone who worked on that game。 The latter are the most interesting parts, with music composers talking about how they achieved certain sounds or effects, and programmers revealing information about the game's While I expected this to just be a nice SNES art book, it turns out to be really information dense, with in-depth articles on the development of several games I played as a kid, including Donkey Kong Country and Star Fox。 Each game covered includes either a brief review or commentary from someone who worked on that game。 The latter are the most interesting parts, with music composers talking about how they achieved certain sounds or effects, and programmers revealing information about the game's development process that might otherwise be unknown。 The book's only downside is a noticeably large number of typos and grammatical errors。 That's not to say it's poorly written。 Generally it's great, but it's distracting to see an error every 10-15 pages or so。 Hopefully these issues are resolved with a second printing。 That aside, it's probably the most beautiful, information-packed history of significant games from a classic console out there。 。。。more

There are some repeats of facts and texts and a few odd errors, but overall it's an interesting dive into the vast game library that the SNES offered, helping to find old gems previously missed。 There are some repeats of facts and texts and a few odd errors, but overall it's an interesting dive into the vast game library that the SNES offered, helping to find old gems previously missed。 。。。more
