Do we really need an entire book on Alpha, Alpha 2 and Alpha 3? How much could there possibly be to cover?
I’m glad you asked.
Between 1995 and 2018, the Zero / Alpha series landed on 23 different platforms. This includes six systems by both Sony and Nintendo. There were four mobile games as well as three titles on different arcade hardware. Just to get a picture of what to expect, here’s a full release listing from the last page of the book. Remember – every single entry listed below is covered in the book. You should get it!
