This is a review, tips and strategy book for a variety of arcade video games. There are 30 games covered in detail, with each review there is a illustration of the game screen, a description of the 'Controls', 'Scoring', 'Dangers', 'Observations', and 'Strategies'. There is a brief section on how games work, and another on ways to increase the players reflexes when away from the games. The games in the book are arranged by the different styles of play, such as maze games. The last section of the book gives the names and address and phone numbers of video game manufactures. This is the first of six books, in the 'Master' video game books by Bantam.
