This is a world records guide/reference book to various arcade games. About 2/3 of the book are related to Video Games, both original, and emulator versions of those games. The second 1/3 focuses on Pinball games. There is also a short section about "Novelty" arcade games. Scattered through the book are biographies of various record holders, each profile has a photograph of the person, and a blank place under their image, to receive a autograph, and a allow the date of the autograph to be recorded. There are also articles about various video game events, both these and the biography sections are listed as "Feature" in the books 'contents' pages. Three editions of this book were released. The "first edition" ISBN: 1887472258, was released in 1998, is the first book of this series, featured arcade, computer, and console video games, along with a shorter section on Pinball games. This "Second Edition" released in 2007, was originally meant to be part of a 3 volume set, with "Arcade Games" being the first of the three volumes. The planned second and third volumes were to focus on "Console Gaming", and "PC Gaming". However these do not seem to have been published. The "Third Edition" released in 2009, the final book released by Twin Galaxies, was also planned to be a 3 volume set. Both the "Second", and "Third" editions of the guide were available in Paperback, Hardcover, and eBook versions. The word "Edition" in the title, refers to the number in the series, and not the actual "versions"/editions of that each book. In 2008 the "Guinness World Records" released their "Gamer's Edition", in collaboration with Twin Galaxies from 2008-2013. The "Guinness World Records: Gamer's Edition" has been released every since its first release.
