Theres a great history of videogames article in the latest(may) issue of the magazine.Its got a tiny segment about the neo-geo.It might be worth picking up or taking a look at.
One quick question; I have noticed before that when certain publications, that usually do not discuss videogames, discuss, well, videogames, they tend to show bias or just get the facts way off. How does the 'Wired' article do? Well?
