This book reviews and details 141 games, with each entry for these games is broken up into the following sections; 'Story', 'Strategies', 'Comments', and a 'Violence' rating. The second part of the book is tips, passwords, and cheat codes for 182 games without an reviews information. Much of the 'Introduction' has information on violence in videogames. The final section of the book is 4 pages of blank lines for the reader to write, scores, passwords, or tips, and then 3 pages of blank square-graphs, to chart any progress, or map levels.
