This is a guide to five video game systems, and 185 game cartridges. Each system is reviewed in four sections; The Console, Consumer Tips, Controls, Our Experience. Each cartridge review usually has seven sections. 1. Evaluation, 2. Basic Objective, 3. and 4. Scenario and the board, 5. Controls, 6. and 7. Facts and Strategies You should Know. However the Astrocade, and Fairchild chapters do not have these sections and there is an all around review for each cartridge instead. Each cartridge has at least one screen illustration, and sometimes more, if the cartridge had more then one game on it. This book was combined with two of his other Video Game books in a box set collection. Ken Uston Shows You Hot to Beat the Latest Video Games In: "Ken Uston's Guide to Buying and Beating Home Video Games", "Mastering Pac-Man", and "Score! Beating the Top 16 Video Games", ISBN: 0451912640. It was priced at $8.95.
