The SNES Omnibus: The Super Nintendo and Its Games, Volume 1 (A–M)

  • 1 Want to read

This is the first, of a two volume review and reference guide to all the videogames officially released for the for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System {SNES}. It describes each game that was commercially released for that system. Each entry tells the games title, the publisher, and developer, the type of game it is, the number of players that can use it, and the year it was released. There is a short review of each game, a "Notable Quotable" from a website, YouTuber, or other publication about the game. For each game, there is shown its box, front and top views of the cartridge, and generally three color screenshots. Occasionally there are also reprints of advertisements for a game, or clipped art. Some games also feature a "Insider Insight" section, with a contributor to the book discussing various aspects of the game. Each of these contributors also has a mini biography about who they are, near the end of the book. There is also a short "Bibliography", "List of video game "Websites", and a Index. The book originally cost $49.99, in Hardcover, it had a glossy embossed cover, along with a embossed dustjacket with the same artwork as the cover. It was released on July 28, 2018. The second volume "The SNES Omnibus: The Super Nintendo and Its Games, Volume 2 (N-Z)", was released less then a year later on April 28, 2019. This book series is similar in scope, and concept to Pat Contri's "Ultimate Nintendo Guide to the NES Library" and "Ultimate Nintendo Guide to the SNES Library", and the "Super Nintendo Anthology" by Geeks-Line.
