Review: Magnificent book for all Retro gaming fans - The entire Bitmap Books visual compendium range is worth picking up if you are a Retro Gaming fan - the content is visually excellent and the written content is engaging and fun to work through. Even experts stand to learn something new from a read. This ZX Spectrum focussed book (closely followed by the Amiga) book is my favourite in the series so far. The nostalgia is real - and spotting titles I played as a kid but couldn't remember by name just based on the screen shots was really exciting!
Review: Fantastic - Great book. The speccy was THE games machine in the 80s. Great nostalgia
