Walk around an arcade nowadays and you’ ll find it filled with countless penny pushing games and fruit machines. In the Seventies and Eighties it was a completely different scenario with those machines playing second fiddle to countless arcade games. While home computers were moving at an astonishing rate they still couldn’ t compete with the incredible games that were being released in the arcades.

It was an insanely exciting time to be a gamer and it seemed like a new mechanic or type of game was appearing every time you visited your local arcade. Pong, Asteroids, Street Fighter, Pac Man, Space Invaders and Donkey Kong are all featured in this book. Sure, many of those games that took your breath away would eventually appear on your own home system, but they were never as good as the originals.

Retro Arcade Classics looks at all the greatest arcade content so you can relive one of gaming’ s most amazing periods.
