The problem with a lot of modern games is that most will get forgotten about in a few years. A lot of old games age badly and play and look terrible now, I also think that a game should be on it's original format unless it has changed dramatically on another format. Typing of the dead is a lazy game to choose mainly as the concept of the game is nothing new, although it was the first game to be released in America (and laughablely it's deemed a shoot 'em up by the guy planning the Smithsonian games event....).
A lot of books do have bais towards American games, I doubt if any Sinclair Spectrum games made it into the book, even though games like School Daze, Death Chase 3D, Jet Set Willy, Lords of Midnight, Head over Heels, Run Baby Run, 3D Ant Attack and All or Nothing are games I think you should all play as well as Monster Maze 3D on the Sinclair ZX81 and Elite, Sentinel and Exile on the BBC Micro.
I am already planning my book which goes well with my job and should list over 300 games from all over the world, that I think you should play (and over 1,000,000 people have done already).
