Our latest book, All Games Are Good by @stuartgipp.bsky.social, is all about the blessed 6.5/10s of the world: the games we've all played and often liked more than we cared to admit. We've never read anything else quite like it. It's good and it deserves to succeed. Please buy it.

What are some of your most memorable NES endings❓

I ask because the latest addition to THE VIDEO GAME LIBRARY has arrived (courtesy of @vgmuseum.bsky.social @pressrun.bsky.social ), and I love it! ❤️🙏

A comprehensive look at the ending of EVERY NES game of the 80’s.

Highly recommended! 📚

Have been reading this and the 1987 volume of NES Works by @jparish.bsky.social and it is a solid and well done chronicle of gaming history published by @pressrun.bsky.social. It brings back a lot of memories of those NES days and makes me glad we're preserving this history before it is lost.

Books do not always stir excitement, but they thrive in engaging us: in massaging back to life those parts of the brain dulled by another day's banal experiences, helping us become aware again, alive again: eyes open, mind quickened, ears prepared to learn, heart ready to welcome new possibilities.
