Life Bytes: Growing Up Geek: Part One - The New Frontier

What you're holding in your hands is not just a book. It's a portal to other worlds where there be magic and dragons and hilarious pirates. Okay, not really. But this book is about those portals, except they're called video games. The Life Bytes series of books take a deep dive into one man's personal journey through childhood into kinda/sorta being a responsible, competent adult as told through the magical lens of whatever video games he was playing at the time. Part One starts way back in 1975 and meanders down various digital pathways until, oh, around about 1993 or so. If you're feeling nostalgic for the early days of gaming or if you just want to understand why the gamer in your life loves this hobby so much, take a seat in your favorite comfy chair and crack this bad boy open. I'll try to not be boring.
