I just saw this and thought I'd post to see if anybody on here knows this site and can talk more about it. Hardcore Gaming 101 has also done a book about Sega Arcade games from the 80s and 90s apparently. I'm a big Castlevania fan so I definitely find this intriguing and I know there are several others who use this site who might be interested too. The book is also available for $7 on Kindle apparently.

I'm a huge fan of their site and I would totally reccomend picking up this book. From what I've seen on the website, the Castlevania series is one of their more detailed articles, and I saw that the book versions add additional images combined with an fantastic presentation. They also have a dvd and book on the untold history of japanese game developers that you might want to pick up if you're interested going inside companies, reading lots of exclusive interviews, and learning alot of secrets of these gaming companies.

I don't check the site too often, but when I do I end up reading it for most the day. There is a lot of great stuff on the site. I have not read the Castlevania article, but I will have to check it out soon. I'm most excited for the new Wizardry article on the site; I like what I have read so far. It may take a few years to fully finish that article, but it should be fantastic when it is completed.

Thanks for the info! I've been looking at their site this evening and am impressed by how many different games they cover and the quality of information for each one. That book about Japanese Game Developers sounds really interesting. I will have to pick that one up!
