Original video game journalist to publish memoir

You have probably never heard of it, but Electronic Games magazine was one of the first magazine devoted to video games. The magazine was founded in 1981 by Bill Kunkel, Joyce Worley, and Arnie Katz (only Computer and Video Games magazine preceded them by a mere two weeks) and laid the ground for later publications like GamePro, Electronic Gaming Monthly, and even websites like GameSpot and Joystiq.

This month marks the publication of Bill Kunkel's memoir, Confessions of the Game Doctor (you can view some sample pages here). Bill Kunkel has worked in and out of the industry for years, and has an interesting perspective on the industry. To hear what Mr. Kunkel has to say about the book (including an overview of some of the more bizarre chapters), check out the Kunkel Report here. The book is so far only making a limited printing of 1000 copies, which you can order from the Rolenta Press website.
