I am a bit late on this one. I've seen the numbers of comments growing and thought geez those guys have got a lot ot say about asteroids!
Obviously now I've read the thread in one go (I had to have a lie down in a darkened room afterwards!) I know what all the debate is about.
One thing that does interest me is the idea of an alternative title. I have to admit that I like the main title and this attracted me to the book in the first place. The sub-title however that mentions GTA and Mario this kinda put me off as I don't particularly like GTA or Platformers. But good old Amazon (which has taken a bit of a hammering in the thread) had a look inside feature. Which allowed me to see the contents and that the book included Zork, Ultima, Doom, Zelda etc. It was this that really got me excited about the book and made me buy it.
But back to my original point what title (apart from Greatest Games) would Bill & Matt plus other AA members have prefered?
