I love that book. I read the second edition, updated with Gumpei Yokoi's passing. I was only 12 at the time though, but what stuck to me was the story about Howard Lincoln and Minoru Arakawa going to Russia to secure the rights to Tetris. They ended up in a crappy hotel room and played poker (or some other card game) to figure out who got the one bed. It reminded me that these people were human, and not just the Gaming Gods that gave us great games.

After my Visa card was rejected there last week, my Mastercard went through, so if it doesn't work, it is a recent development.
