Let Me Play: Stories of Gaming and Emulation

Rating:
Summary: Play on...
Review: If anything, the author presents an entertaining and comedic take on his experiences with video gaming. Of particular amusement to me is his hilarious take on his early video gaming years. As a young video game player in the early eighties and nineties, I can easily relate to the author's stories of fighting over quarters pizza parlors, the excitement of opening the box of the latest game systems, and challenging the "Street Fighter" masters at the local arcades. The book also includes a pretty comprehensive section on emulation, and the quizzes scattered throughout the book will pick your video game brain. If you're looking for a candid look at a true gamer's experience and want a time capsule of what's gone on in the video game market over the last 2 decades, this book may be for you.
