'A book written by a geek for geeks ... It's also a game, a fun and engaging play on the rules of roleplay. I've read and re-read 20 GOTO 10 and constantly find new and strange secrets of retro gaming's past' CreativeBloq'We have found a book that not only will have something new for you to learn, but the experience is pure nostalgia itself . . . A nice sprinkling of wit and comic timing. We end up with a book that is the best of both worlds, technical information told in an entertaining way . . . Across the whole book there are references and research packed into every section with skill. Established convention and history is questioned and updated while maintaining a good blend of technical detail and interesting anecdotes . . . Even with all the stuff I know already, the book was refreshingly new to me . . . In case the review was not clear, you all need this book in your life, not only for the new stuff you will learn, but for the adventure you will have while reading it' Pixel Addict, recommended read
