Review of Chasing Ghosts: Beyond the Arcade (2007) by Mark B — 03 Mar 2012
I was a preteen when the arcade rage was going on but I played my fair share of coin-ops in bowling alleys, roller rinks & our local arcade 'Lots O Fun' back in the day & was pretty damn good @ Galaxia.
No where in the league of these video game masters though. Chasing Ghosts is a good companion piece to King of Kong & should be enjoyed by those who love the retro games. You get a nice look @ those who set the records back in 82 & what has become of them from the self righteous Roy 'Mr Awesome' Shildt master of Missile Command to the arrogant player of the century Billy Mitchell.
Even though the bottom of the arcade business fell out by 84 due to the introduction of the Atari I still love these classic games making this a great retro experience (you even get a snippet of That's Incredible that I remember originally seeing on TV).
