### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A Great Book
  

*by A***A on Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2020*

I recently got a breadboard and some 8bit processors, naturally i landed on this book while learning what to expect. This book does a good job getting into the how and why's of the platform before diving into any code. Making 8-bit Arcade Games in C Touches on some assembly before abstracting upwards; It's great book overall, if you want to know what goes on deep inside a computer, or if you want to know how to take advantage of limited memory while coding for ancient hardware... This is a good book to have, the author does a great job explaining concepts that would otherwise be difficult to understand.

    Great Book, Terribly Slow IDE
  

*by P***S on Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2017*

The book is well written, just as his last was. The IDE on the other hand is a chore to use. The Atari 2600 Emulation worked fantastic, whereas any of the emulations that involve C run terribly slow and force me to reload the page whenever I make slight changes to the code. I tried in both Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Firefox. In Firefox the window does not need to be reloaded but instead, fails to provide error notifications and will not run any code. Even the examples will not run. I had none of these problems when running the Atari Emulator.

    I truly believe an arcade hobbyist with just minor programming experience in a high level language like java, javascript
  

*by B***I on Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2017*

I have read a lot of books and myself written many web tutorials on similar subject matter trying to demystify old arcade games and their hardware, and I am blown away how well this book is written. This book presents topics in a very accessible way that is downright impressive. I truly believe an arcade hobbyist with just minor programming experience in a high level language like java, javascript, perl, python etc, could pick up this book and understand it.I bought this book for the information on the game architectures as I develop hacks for old games and already only after 50 pages I've learned a bunch that I did not know. I have not used the online compiler yet but I look forward to checking that out. Great book!
