Habe es als Geschenk für meinen Freund gekauft - er war begeistert. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I would give it 5 stars but for two reasons..... *by C***S on 12 June 2019* I received it on June 10th and finished it on June 11th (yes it's that good !!) What I liked about this book is not only was it written by my favorite retro tech reviewer on youtube (The Nostalgia Nerd) but also the hardback is very well made. The photos of the retro computers and games are clear. There are 39 systems in the book from around the world and each is presented in a way thats entertaining.I liked how the writer only reviewed 3 games per computer because the information he gives makes you actually want to play them. Now, there are two points which I didn't like (as shown in the photo) 1) the text is pretty small to read. I wish it was bigger - even my wife commented how small the print was. 2) On page 70, text is repeated when reviewing the Spectrum computer system (as shown in the photo). Two big paragraphs which make up half of the text on the page. Not too happy so I have emailed the author to find out if this is a printing error. In conclusion, I would say this is the best example of a retro tech review book. Others include too many games or fancy graphics but this is well lead out with facts and a perfect coffee table book. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Nostalgia Nerd's Retro Tech: Computer, Consoles and Games - Nostalgia Nerd's Gadgets, Gizmos & Gimmicks: A Potted History of Personal Tech - Home Computers: 100 Icons that Defined a Digital Generation (Mit Press) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/293019604-ilex-press-the-nostalgia-nerds-retro-tech-computer-consoles-games](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/293019604-ilex-press-the-nostalgia-nerds-retro-tech-computer-consoles-games) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-07-09*
