## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    For 'nerds' of a certain age...
  

*by B***P on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 June 2011*

Like many of my age group, I grew up programming BASIC and playing games on my home computers - I started with a Commodore VIC 20, and moved on to a Commodore 64, thus entering into fierce 'competetion' with various Sinclair Spectrum-owning friends. The sense of tribal brand loyalty among owners of these incompatible computer systems now seems quite unfathomable. This book comments on this, and also presents an excelllent collection of photographs and information on these machines and many others. It collectively tells the story of how these systems evolved, and how they were ultimately doomed, giving way to the ubiquitous PC's and Apple Macs of today. It would be nice to see a follow-up book of the classic games and perhipherals that went with these computers, but this will do me for now - an excellent, nostalgic, informative resource for us nerds of the 80's. Highly recommended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Simply brilliant
  

*by R***K on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 December 2010*

This book really is fantastic in so many ways.They way it is written, you do not need to be a techno-whizz to understand what is being said. It gives a historical background to the machines featured, as well as technical specifications, and a critique of the design of the hardware.The photos to accompany the text are very vibrant and illustrate the models well.Even though I am far to young to remember any of the machines first time around, I have speant many hours mulling over this book, and it has been instrumental in my passion for retrocomputing.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
