Just picked up this new book ‘A Compendium of Sega Master System Games - Volume One’
It covers the Sega Master System, and the Sega SG-1000, looking at a varied cross section of the 400+ games available, with a review and screenshot of each one. Including all the classics to modern homebrew titles, and even some unreleased prototypes, there are games of all genres and styles here. It also contains interviews with Epyx producer Matt Householder, Imagitec artist Shaun McClure, and Activision producer Tom Sloper.

If you read through that screenshot of Bubble Bobble he calls them dinosaurs.
They're Bubble Dragons.
He also claims the letters collected spell EXTRA, they spell EXTEND.
He has admitted to not playing the games before he writes about them, which explains why so many errors, spelling mistakes and grammatical cock-ups are to be found throughout this and every one of his A-Z titles.
The "reviews" are re-used across all his publications, some even taken directly from Retro Gamer, others from titles he contributed toward for other publishers.
None of the re-used reviews are his to reprint. He does not care about breaking the law, but hates it when people screengrab his material.
His YouTube Channel is filled with similar copied material.
It recently returned after being taken down for copyright strikes.

Nice to read, that someone had done some investigation off something like that book, and point out some of the bad things. So others like myself can reconsider what/who we spend our money on.
