They better have picturesBoutique retailer Limited Run Games (https://www.destructoid.com/how-limited-run-super-rare-and-others-are-keeping-physical-games-alive/), not content with merely offering up physical games, toys, clothes, and soundtracks, has decided to get into the world of the printed word, with the announcement of a new book publishing arm, Limited Press Run.
The new endeavor, which is led by Limited Run writer Jared Petty and media researcher Jeremy Parish, will see Limited Press Run publish a range of books based on video games and game-adjacent topics. Hitting the ground running, the new outlet has already released its first three tomes, which focus on various aspects of retro gaming ? a topic that is obviously close to Limited Run's heart.

The first book, Virtual Boy Works (https://limitedrungames.com/collections/books/products/virtual-boy-works-book#product-details), is a written and pictorial representation of Nintendo's strange and experimental Virtual Boy console, with write-ups on each and every game released for the console, alongside critiques, screengrabs, and packaging scans. The second book, Super NES Works Vol. 1 (https://limitedrungames.com/collections/books/products/super-nes-works-vol-i-book), is a similar retrospective compendium focusing on the early years of a somewhat more popular piece of Nintendo hardware, the SNES. This book also looks at the games and accessories for the 16-bit wonder.
The third book from Limited Press Run is The History of Sunsoft Vol. 1 (https://limitedrungames.com/collections/books/products/the-history-of-sunsoft-vol-i-hardcover), and focuses on the early history of the arcade and console developer, from its early days as a textile outlet to its transition into the electronics industry and, ultimately, the coin-op, console, and home computer market. The book features exclusive interviews and first-hand accounts of Sunsoft's formative years in the fast-growing gaming industry.
All three titles are available to purchase today from the Limited Run Games store (https://limitedrungames.com/), priced at $34.99 each (not including shipping). The books are already published, in hand, and ready to ship. So if you fancy taking a deep dive into a little bit of gaming history, maybe head on over to LRG and take a look.
