Description
Remember what a wild frontier the early days of home gaming were? Manufacturers released new consoles at a breakneck pace; developers created games that kept us up all night, then went 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.
The Nostalgia Nerd's Retro Tech: Computer, Consoles & Games revives the magic and chaos of the golden age of gaming and technology.
