This is a hints, tips, and strategy book for 20 arcade video games. The book opens with a section on general tips on how to spot fake pirated versions of video games, tips on how to get the coin slot to work to avoiding static shock when touching the game. Next it tells you of the various buttons and controls that could have been used and how some might behave differently while playing. The second part of the book is on the main games. Each game is reviewed and an occasional illustration of the games screen is present but not for every game. Each game review and strategy for the game is usually broken up into 4 sections with the name of the sections differing form game to game.
