Boss Fight Books
This kickstarter success got me giddy with excitement when I first learned about their creation. Boss Fight Books have published a series of books that take “a creative, critical, historic, and personal look at the titular game in question.” Their words, not mine.
Mostly meant for the nostalgic gamer or longtime gaming enthusiasts, these series of books tackle all sorts of classic games: Chrono Trigger, Earthbound, Galaga, Super Mario Bros. 2, and more! For an idea of what these books hold, imagine a conversation with a young kid who has a college literature-level vernacular, talking your ears off about the game they adored for their entire summer. The kid who only had enough money to buy one game for the entire year and played the hell out of it over and over, pouring over every detail, speculating upon every possible reason why something in the game happens, while warming your heart through some sort of real-life situation that parallels something in the game.
Plain and simple, if you or your loved one adores games. You cannot do wrong with this purchase. An analytical and critical approach to childhood.
The books can be found at Boss Fight Books official website, and are available in paperback and ebook versions.
