Game Boy Enthusiasts Will Want To Check Out This New Book
35 years ago, Nintendo shook the games industry up with the release of its Game Boy handheld--a device that made video games more mainstream than ever thanks to its simple design and library of must-play titles. If you're looking to relive the golden age of Nintendo's iconic portable console, you should check out The Game Boy Encyclopedia, an upcoming book that explores the hundreds of games released for the handheld across its lifespan. The giant compendium launches November 30, and is available for preorder now.
The Game Boy Encyclopedia: Every Game Released for the Nintendo Game Boy and Game Boy Color
$41.85
Written by veteran video game journalist Chris Scullion, The Game Boy Encyclopedia looks at every game released in the West for both the Game Boy and its 1998 successor, the Game Boy Color, which tallies up to around 1,150 games in total. Inside the book, each game is covered with screenshots and trivia factoids, resulting in a definitive look at the system over its long and storied run. Preorders for the book are available at Amazon.
If you're looking for some more gaming history, you can check out Scullion's other books on other influential video game consoles and their libraries. You can complement the GameBoy book with the NES, SNES, and N64 encyclopedias. The The SNES book also includes section dedicated to the Nintendo's biggest flop, the Virtual Boy, and its small 22-game library. All three books are available now, but the N64 Encyclopedia is getting a new paperback edition on November 30.
