Games & Strategy Guides Editorial Review
** Hardcore Gaming 101 Digest Vol. 2: Taito Arcade Classics** Hardcore Gaming 101 Digest Vol. 2 offers an intriguing glimpse into the world of Taito arcade classics, catering primarily to fans of retro video games. The book successfully assembles a diverse range of articles about both well-known franchises, such as the Darius series, and lesser-known titles that many readers might not have encountered before. This aspect is particularly appreciated by enthusiasts eager to explore the broader spectrum of Taito's influence on arcade gaming. Reviewers have noted the book's decent writing style and inclusion of numerous screenshots, which enhance the reader’s experience and provide visual context to the narratives. Many shared their enthusiasm for discovering obscure games, enhancing their knowledge of the retro gaming scene. However, the book has also received criticism for its omission of several iconic Taito titles like Bubble Bobble and Space Invaders, leading some readers to feel the collection lacks a comprehensive overview of Taito's most significant contributions. While the book delivers a mix of engaging content, some readers found that half of the featured games were unappealing to them, which detracted from overall enjoyment. Moreover, an unexpected addition of adult content towards the end was a surprising and unwelcome feature for some reviewers. Despite these flaws, the book was generally well-received as a worthy addition to the library of any retro gaming aficionado, even if it may not be a definitive resource on Taito arcade classics. **
