    My wife just brought this home from the Library for me. I said "Hey?! I watch this guy on youtube!" and said that I was going to have to buy the book after I finished reading it. She said but I could just borrow it from the Library again, whenever I wanted?! 😀

    what is retro tech? is my 1897 columbia graphophone model C cylinder phonograph/dictaphone retro tech? like the first home pc's of the mid 1980s it was too expensive for low income buyers eh, it was too expensive for most middle income buyers.
    is retro tech some tech in living memory? that would phase the phonograph out but does that mean that great grans rca radiogram is retro tech? i'm sure some of you have a 100+ year old great grand parent.
    or is retro tech realy nostalgia tech for the generations born from 1960 to 1980?
    probably its the last but with a twist its realy nostalgia tech things that makes us think of the days that we had to work to get things to do what we wanted them to do not one lazy swipe and click on a screen no work at it! strangely the human race is even nostalgic for times that they didn't live in indeed most milenials never had to bare the loading time of a cassette tape game they weren't born yet but they collect them and have the nostalgic emotions with such a device so, that does place my phonograph in the retro tech spectrum retro stands for return to a past time retro tech is doing the same but having the experience of working with a device that is outdated when i recorded the raven by edgar alan poe on my extra long wax cylinder at 80 rpm on my columbia graphophone model c cylinder phonograph i did just that i did what they used to do with this machine and i felt nostalgic feelings doing it even though the item is 77 years older than me.
    so again i ask what is retro tech? am i right? or wrong?

    Curious note, here in Mexico we are also acquiring the term "mobile" for cell phones. Seems saying cell phone is mostly used now for older non-smart phones now, at least here.

    You cover some of the most nostalgic content… that a lot cover in a very mundane way, but you do it in an interesting way. Unfortunately I only stumbled upon you a couple weeks ago, but I guess I got years of videos to watch.

    Hi Peter, just a 'heads up', I've tried pre-ordering the Audible version using my credits and it consistently goes to a dead link displaying: 'We’re sorry. The Web address you entered is not a functioning page on our site.' I just thought I'd let you know… Ben

    Yo I'm going to be 100% honest,
    I have used your book as an guide to many systems that I don't own and probably will never (e.g. the Jaguar) and only emulate the 3 games you mention genuinely speaking I agree with your choices.
