Two books I recommend for fellow geeks and nerds - Superheroes, Star Wars and video games.

Two books I have read by author Chris Baker as they popped up cheap as ebooks via Amazon.

WRONG! Retro Games, You Messed Up Our Comic Book Heroes! - This was a fun read, as the title suggests, looking at vintage games of the past on consoles and home computers and how superheroes were routinely misrepresented on our small screens. Anything from using blatantly wrong colours or even stripping a superhero of one of his most iconic abilities.

X-Wings, Lightsabers, and Scorpion Vader: Celebrating 40 Years of Star Wars Video Games (From a Certain Point of View) - This reads more like a series of web articles. To be fair, Chris admits this but they have been fully updated. This book covers all electronic Star Wars games right up the the present day with Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. There's the bizarre Japan-only release of Star Wars for the NES and a list of all the games that feature the Battle of Hoth and how they changed due to the evolution of technology. An entertaining read for any Star Wars gaming fan.

Happy reading.
