FROM THE AUTHOR…
“If I didn’t grow up in the 80s I would be jealous of everyone that did… Because the 80’s rocked! If you enjoy books about video games or grew up in the 80’s – then this might be right up your street!”
“A time when Arcades were a right-of-passage, and gaming was a social experience enjoyed with your friends. A time before Minecraft or Fortnite, a time of discovery!”
