This is a 64-pager fromClyde Mandelin and Tony Kuchar that pinpoints amusing moments in video game translation history from the ’70s to the modern era. Compared to Clyde’sEarthBound tome, this should be a brisk, chuckle-filled read. It’s $15 and available now on Fangamer, if you’re so inclined.
The listing’s gallery shots sure cracked me up. “You are a sucking baby.” Come again?
