Brett Weiss Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 Hi Everyone, My name is Brett Weiss, and I write articles and books about video games. You can read excerpts from several of my books by clicking on this link: http://www.brettweisswords.com/2015/08/free-sample-pages-retro-video-game-books.html My 100 Greatest Console Video Games: 1977-1987 book is available at Barnes & Noble stores, and on Amazon. Check out the Retroist's review: http://www.retroist.com/2015/01/12/the-100-greatest-console-video-games-1977-1987-book-review/ I also self-published a book called Retro Pop Culture A to Z: From Atari 2600 to Zombie Films: http://www.amazon.com/Retro-Pop-Culture-Atari-Zombie-ebook/dp/B00HBTTTYQ I'm working on the fourth and final book in the "Classic Home Video Games" series. It will cover the SNES, Jaguar, CD-i, 3DO, and other consoles from that time. I'm making good progress, but publication is still at least a year away. I recently wrapped up an encyclopedia on the rock band KISS, and it will be out during the spring or summer of 2016. For more info, here's my Amazon author page: http://www.amazon.com/Brett-Weiss/e/B001JS0BCO/ref=dp_byline_cont_book_1 Thanks for reading! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowsdower70 Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 Hey Brett! I had the pleasure of meeting you at the Houston Arcade Expo. I was lucky enough to nab a copy of your 100 Greatest Console Games and get you and Walter to sign.You also had a few Intellivision titles I nabbed to add to my collection, and gave a great talk with Walter Day. As for the book, its fantastic. It is absolutely beautiful stylistically, and full of great info. Definitely should be on any retro gamer's shelf!I too am a huge KISS fan, so next I plan on checking out your KISS book.
