The Nostalgia Nerd's Retro Tech by Peter Leigh

Remember what a wild frontier the early days of home gaming were? Manufacturers releasing new consoles at a breakneck pace; developers creating games that kept us up all night, then going bankrupt the next day; and what self-respecting kid didn't beg their parents for an Atari or a Nintendo? This explosion of computers, consoles, and games was genuinely unlike anything the tech world has seen before or since. This thoroughly researched and geeky trip down memory lane pulls together the most entertaining stories from this dynamic era, and brings you the classic tech that should never be forgotten.
Peter Leigh has been an aficionado of retro technology his entire life; starting before it was even retro. During the past 7 years he has unveiled hundreds of vintage technology stories on his prominent YouTube channel, Nostalgia Nerd (with almost 500k subscribers), written the best-selling book Nostalgia Nerd's Retro Tech for Ilex Press and featured in an array of notable TV programs and publications. Today, as the premier UK connoisseur of our technological heritage, he continues his quest to highlight the joy of these important fragments from our past, and ensure they remain cherished, not forgotten.
