About this item

My two biggest passions concerning computers are hardware and gaming. I wrote this book because I don’t want that important pieces of history regarding computer hardware, games and, in a smaller amount the 80’s operating systems to be forgotten and lost. I want everyone to appreciate the hardware and software industry and especially the people behind them as they worked many days and nights to deliver us fast and advanced computers and entertaining and complex games. The book is as detailed as possible that is why it is so big; I did an extensive research of video games and hardware in the 80's (all platforms, not only IBM PC) so I don't miss anything important and because visuals are important the book contains more than 400 pictures of hardware and video games from the 80's. This reduced content edition has all the content from the original book save for the first two introductory chapters and has a smaller number of pictures (most of them from competing platforms) in order to reduce the book size and price. If you want to pay less and you are only interested in MS-DOS based gaming this version is preferable, otherwise I recommend the larger in size variant. This version is also neat if you want to see more of the content of the first book (without reduced content) as the initial sample is from different chapters.
