Review: Good retro game book - Great look back into the past
Review: Nice to read a book about gaming that mentions the UK - Any book about computer gaming, such as this well-written and informative one, that calls the ZX Spectrum by its proper name, spells in proper English and mentions Elite for the BBC, is a great book in my eyes. I'm about a fifth of the way through so far, but the excellent writing and well-researched information are consistently of a high standard, whether reviewing the games themselves or the hardware running them, and I consider the money expended on this book well spent.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good retro game book
*by P***L on 8 February 2026*

Great look back into the past

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice to read a book about gaming that mentions the UK
*by J***M on 28 December 2018*

Any book about computer gaming, such as this well-written and informative one, that calls the ZX Spectrum by its proper name, spells in proper English and mentions Elite for the BBC, is a great book in my eyes. I'm about a fifth of the way through so far, but the excellent writing and well-researched information are consistently of a high standard, whether reviewing the games themselves or the hardware running them, and I consider the money expended on this book well spent.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not in 100% new condition
*by R***B on 26 July 2024*

Not in 100% perfect condition. No shrink wrap and the outer protective cover a bit creased and not pristine at the top. Almost as if its a return sold as new. However, inside is perfect, it looks and smells new and it is a very nice book which I will treasure.
