When I first became interested in Ottumwa's Video Game Legacy, I read The Official Video Game & Pinball Book of World Records written by Walter Day. We are lucky to have a couple of signed copies in the collection. The first edition was released 25 years ago today on February 8, 1998. This started a tradition between Guinness World Records and Walter that lasted until 2020. If you get the chance to read the early editions, check out the bonus section that Walter wrote that chronicles the early history of Twin Galaxies, the US National Video Game Team, and all the fun times that Walter and the gamers had during that time. It is a great read and without Walter's writing it down, so much history would have been lost. If you don't have the chance to read, don't worry. I am sure that in this blog, we will be talking to the people involved and sharing their stories with you.
