[game_preservation] The world's most expensive videogames

[Captain Commando]

Oh, THAT book. I've seen that at the local game shops, but it's sealed and
I'm convinced they had it overpriced.

The interesting thing regarding the old arcade games... It's a bit difficult
when you go to list who actually worked on the machine because you'll find
cases where the hardware was developed by one guy but the game itself was
programmed by someone else. You'll also find like at Atari that other
designers would stop by and play a game during development and give feedback
during that time. At this point, giving credit is sort of asking the
question of whether or not carrying the one proverbial grain of sand from
one corner of the room to the other counts or if it's something a bit more
substantial that is required. So many questions and we'll have to create an
answer for them :)
