Man, that first book looks awesome.

[@8BitPasta]

Yep, I want that Anthology as well. There is also a Game Boy standalone edition which is void of the virtual boy stuff.

Just started watching the Video Game Box Art Documentary Series on my smart TV & very interested in the Game Boy: The Box Art Collection book! Also I did not know they made a Dr. Franken 2, will have to pick up that GB Game as well. I love your videos about Hand Helds & finding info on new games to get for my GB! This video was a 2 punch combo! Thanks for the Retro Break!

Hey man, I have nothing constructive to say but I really wanted to let you know I love your vids. You have a clear enthusiasm that really resonates with me, kinda like when I tell a good friend about something from back in early game years I just found out or acquired. I dunno, you have a wholesome feel that not a lot of youtubers keep with them. I hope you get allllll the followers!

[@RetroBreak]

Thank you so much! Always great to hear that people appreciate my efforts :)

[@BitmapBooks]

Thank you for the shout out 🙌

[@_Majoras]

cool i might have to get the game boy box art collection. really wish there was something like the game boy sprite book from years ago that never got funded

[@RetroBreak]

I didn’t know about that one! What was it going to be?

[@_Majoras]

@@RetroBreak it was was called pixel galaxy from a german author. theres some previews online looks great but needs more green 🤣. guess that he never found a publisher which is odd. i'd love to see books dedicated to classic game boy and another with game boy color pixel art

[@Pikmit]

Nice! I have to check them out. 🙂

[@gameboydatabase1859]

Thanks for your support. New book is about to come

[@RetroBreak]

ooh! Looking forward to it!

[@dabradmp1]

Can't wait to get my anthology!!! I'm in Canada sooo I'll receive it like at the end of December maaaaaybe

[@RetroBreak]

Hope it arrives soon! I’ve been really enjoying reading it! So much information that’s not available anywhere else online!

[@simonwl]

Good stuff! You are a true game geek 😂

[@wesleytubbritt5652]

have you maganed to back the PS2 collection thats just been announced??

[@VGShrine]

Hi!, does the Game Boy Anthology book includes GBC and GBA systems? I really appreciate your book reviews. I'm collecting all the Nintendo Geek-Line books and it's good to see a review of the books.

[@RetroBreak]

Hi! Glad you enjoy my book reviews, this one only covers the oringal Game Boy, I hope they do GBC and GBA follow ups!

[@VGShrine]

@@RetroBreak that's cool. I hope they announce those books too. Hopefully a single book for GBC and GBA. I just read somewhere that a PS2 anthology book was announced and will be 4 volumes.

[@skullkid9748]

I love to see books, especially academic ones, on videogames. I think they definitely deserve to be treated seriously as a media form, on the same level of cinema, despite what Roger Ebert says. These books all look awesome! I love the anthologies and such, they are extremely useful references. I own two video game books, but now I think I need more. Just in time for Christmas!

[@RetroBreak]

If you like academic texts, definitely check out the rest of the MIT platform studies series too, there’s a really great in depth one about the NES too!

[@sluskafan]

The Game Boy Cartridge Collection looked really nice. Would love to own a copy. =/

[@wesleytubbritt5652]

I have this book. My name is in it too.

[@FarmerSlideJoeBob]

I think this could be interesting to me😃😃

[@drcouzelis]

I actually have mixed feelings about the GAMEBOOK. The content is great, I LOVE all of the absolutely gorgeous artwork. But I find much of the writing style to be awkward, and the section on Metroid II is just full of errors. 😕

[@RetroBreak]

I guess that’s what happens when you fill a book with other people’s work, some will inevitably be better than others, but I think it’s a great concept to get the community together to celebrate something they love.. hopefully the follow up book will be better edited and fact checked.
