Guiness World Records Gamers Edition
Guinness World Records Gamers Edition 2008 is the first world record book to be entirely dedicated to video gaming.
Covering classic consoles such as the Atari all the way through to the latest consoles such as the xbox 360 and nintendo wii, the record book will be a fantastic read for any avid gamer. Heres a preview of some of the records you can expect to see-
- In 1982, American Scott Safran achieved the highest score on the classic game Asteroids, notching up 41,336,440 points.
- Nintendo’s “Super Mario Bros.” is the best-selling console game in history. It has sold more than 40 million copies.
- The biggest online role-playing game is “World of Warcraft,” with about 10 million subscribers. It also boasts the biggest virtual beer festival, Brewfest.
- The longest title for a strategy game is the less than snappy “The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earth II - The Rise of the Witch-King.”
The book will be available to purchase later this month!
