I've got both books:

* High Score!: The Illustrated History of Electronic Games

* The Ultimate History of Video Games

I just finished reading "The Ultimate History of Video Games" and am
now reading the "High Score" Book.

I found "THOVG" a bit repetative at times, when quoting someone and
than using the same quote in the same page. Both other than that it
was a great book to read and a lot of background info I didnt know
about. There is a total of maybe 4 pages in the middle of the book
that contains pictures.

Since I have both books, it was great to first read "THOVG" than now
reading High Score (which has tons of pictures), I have a reference of
the consoles/arcades that "THOVG" was talking about.
