Announcing the re-release of 4 new, old game titles (7/10/19)

Alone in the Dark 3

Whether you missed these books when they were initially published by Prima Publishing 25 years ago, are a nostalgia buff or collector, or are just hankering to finally beat that old console, PC, or Mac game, I’m rereleasing four of my OFFICIAL strategy guides for the following games: Shadow of the Comet, Alone in the Dark 3, Virtual Bart, and Dust: A Tale of the Wired West.

Shadow of the Comet

All are immediately available from Amazon.com and many of its worldwide sites. If there’s demand, you’ll also be able to buy signed copies here.

Virtual Bart

In total, this makes eight of my old game books that are now available for purchase. Each re-edited book sports a new cover, is printed on white paper (rather than the original cream), is lavishly illustrated with screenshots and maps, and contains all the original tips, tricks, strategies, and walkthroughs to help you master the game(s). 

Dust A Tale of the Wired West

The first four game titles were re-released in 2015 and are available from Amazon.com worldwide, eBay, and this site:


New Prices for Older Titles

In order to clean house, every title listed in the Older Computer Books section is now 50% off retail! If you’re using an older computer (or are sticking with some older software), you might find a bargain here. There are books that can help you master Microsoft Office, FileMaker Pro, Microsoft Entourage, Microsoft Access, CorelDRAW, AppleWorks/ClarisWorks, and Quicken. There are even a couple editions of The Macintosh Bible for which I was a regular contributor and occasional editor.

In addition, My Samsung Galaxy S4 and Microsoft Office 2011 (Macintosh): Visual QuickStart Guide have each been reduced to $17.99. You’ll find them both in the Current Books section.

New Article: "Preventing Manually Copied Music from Disappearing from a 2015 Kindle Fire 7”

The website has been expanded to include articles (click the Articles tab to see the list). The first article ("Preventing Manually Copied Music from Disappearing from a 2015 Kindle Fire 7”) is up now.

Classic game books re-released!

Siliconwasteland Press (Classic Game Books imprint) is pleased to announce the release of three additional reprints of my early game books. Each was written for the original Nintendo Entertainment System (NES): 

Like the initial book in the Classic Game Books series (Return to Zork Adventurer's Guide: Twentieth Anniversary Edition), each book is immediately available for sale at Amazon.com, Amazon sites throughout the world, and Siliconwasteland.com. (See the book’s product page on this site for its direct link to Amazon.com, as well as the list on the Current Books tab.)

Although quantites are extremely limited, signed copies of the original edition of Return to Zork Adventurer’s Guide can be purchased directly from Siliconwasteland.

Guides for Samsung Galaxy S III, S 4, and S5 smartphones
