Title: How to Win at Video Games
Description: This staple bound paperback is designed to help players on 10 arcade video games. Each game is described, it's point system are explained, and there are suggestions as how best to play the game. After each game is review it is followed by a interview of a player that has managed to get a rather large score, and they tell how they worked out their system of scoring points. Most of these interviews are of high school, and college students who have played the games many times. After the interview there is a one page listing of all the 'Playing Tips' for that game. On page 11, the book also has a map of Pac-Man showing one possible route through the entire maze. A advertisement after the last page for a 'Book #2' saying 'Coming Soon', and that it would have '10 New Games', but however this doesn't appear to have ever been published. The original price of the book was $2.50 as seen on it's back cover.
