Search - List of Books by Bill Kunkel
Bill Kunkel was the executive editor of Electronic Games Magazine in the early 1980s. More recently, Bill was editor-in-chief of Tips & Tricks magazine from January 2007 until August 2007 when it was cancelled. His nickname is "The Game Doctor" based on a column he has written for several magazines (including both versions of Electronic Games, VG&CE, EGM and CGW) and game sites (including HappyPuppy.com, PostalNation.net and J2Games.com).
Kunkel has been a game journalist, author of numerous strategy guides, a game designer, expert witness and taught several courses in Game Design for the University of Nevada at Las Vegas (UNLV). He remains active in the industry, having served as editor-in-chief of Tips & Tricks during its final year of publication (2007). He continues as a member of Running With Scissors and EIC of Postal Nation (PostalNation.net) and now writes regularly for J2Games.com. He received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Classic Gaming Expo in 1999 along with the other co-founders of the original Electronic Games magazine, Arnie Katz and Joyce Worley-Katz. The trio revived the EG title for several years in the early 90s for Sendai/Decker. As Subway Software, the trio were involved as designers on well over a dozen video and computer games, including Bart's Nightmare (Acclaim) and Batman Returns (Konami).
Dubbed "The Grandfather of video game journalism" Kunkel has published his memoirs under the title "Confessions of The Game Doctor" (RolentaPress.com).
Kunkel is also well-known as a ground-breaking wrestling journalist and cartoonist dating back to the 1970s. His brilliant and creative writing blends insight and humor.
He was the "must-read" columnist during the early days of Pro Wrestling Torch playing a key part in turning the small newsletter into a wrestling newsletter powerhouse. Kunkel later moved to Wrestling Perspective as a featured columnist and cartoonist. Along with the Phantom of the Ring, Kunkel's work for Wrestling Perspective attracted respect and prestige to the publication.
