Just a quick note in case any of the newer pinball players from the last few years weren't aware of the arcade autobiography book I'd written.
I thought there was a thread for it on here but can't seem to find it and may have disappeared as it was probably four years ago now.
So copied below text from another forum about the book
Still have a few copies available in stock and can order more.
Hi
I have written a book charting my arcade experiences throughout my life, a sort of autobiography but purely arcade related, including amongst others:
- my first arcade encounters in the mid 70s at the fairground
- the golden age of video games in the early 80s
- getting hooked on fruit machines in the mid 80s
- the explosion of pinball in the pubs in the early 90s
- collecting machines in the 90s onwards
- attempting video game world record scores
- attending and competing in pinball comps UK and Europe
- running the UK pinball league
- UKVAC meets
- arcade arts and crafts I've created
The book is 480 pages, appox 23 x 15 cm in size (like a large paperback), with some photos, mainly from last 15-20 years. Cost is £25 (plus £3.50 postage unless I can pass to you at a pinball event).
See pics attached of some pages.
Thanks
Greg
