As the many heartfelt remembrances in the book - which include such late legends as WARP's Kenji Eno and Bubble Bobble creator Fukio Mitsuji - attest, the world of gaming owes Szczepaniak a massive debt. "While one could accuse the book of almost being too detailed, once you're ensconced within those information-rich pages you become even more ravenous for data, rather than feeling overwhelmed by it. It's eminently clear that this kind of book is very much long past due." – Forbes These individuals are given obituary pages listing their works as well as their involvement. There are also poignant aspects to the book too, as many important and interesting figures have sadly passed away. Much of what is revealed is also utterly fascinating. The absence of any PR people acting as gatekeepers is also very apparent here and the result is a clear and very human take on the people being interviewed.

This utterly fascinating, expertly executed book fills a giant void in the English language history of Japanese video games." – Amazon Review "John Szczepaniak is like the David Attenborough of Japanese Game Development.
