About this product

Product Information

Remember what a wild frontier the early days of home gaming were? Manufacturers releasing new consoles at a breakneck pace; developers creating games that kept us up all night, then going bankrupt the next day; and what self-respecting kid didn't beg their parents for an Atari or a Nintendo? This explosion of computers, consoles, and games was genuinely unlike anything the tech world has seen before or since. This thoroughly researched and geeky trip down memory lane pulls together the most entertaining stories from this dynamic era, and brings you the classic tech that should never be forgotten.

    As described. Nicely packaged and arrived on time. I would rather have been told I was paying for postage up front than find the actual price was £4.99 and I paid the seller £7.33 for “free postage”.

  • Are you into retro tech

    You need to be into your retro consoles to like this book. If you are then its a great book to learn a little bit about each console. It maybe a bit lacking in detail for those really into the inner workings though. The photos of all the consoles are great.
