Description
Remember the days of bad graphics, glitchy software and seemingly pointless games? What were we thinking? How did we cope? This humorous yet fond look at gaming of old is sure to have gamers shaking their heads in wonder and chuckling at the craziness of what we had to put up. And yet there is no denying that many of the games we played back in that golden era have helped to shape the world of gaming and brought us to where we are now. Each spread focuses on a different game, console or trend in gaming so the book can be picked up and opened at any place for a laugh-a-minute.
