Not for anyone who actually plays video games.,
The title is probably the most interesting thing about this book. The title drew me in, and I assumed that I was going to be reading a personal account of “Growing Up 8-bit.” I was a little surprised and disappointed to find that it was nothing more than a mere categorized list of what games the author enjoyed.
If I wanted a list of what games someone thinks were good, I’d get one off of the internet for free. It’s the personal stories and memories that I’m more interested in.

It is the best book ever!,
It tells about all the old video game from 1976 to 1990. I loved it so much because it reminds me of when I was little. I think if your kids are in to video games you should definitely share this with them. It is the best kindle book ever. Also if yo are interested in old video games you should check out The Ultimate History of Video Games: from Pong to Pokemon and beyond…the story behind the craze that touched our li ves and changed the world .
