Games vs. Hardware. The History of PC video games: The 80'sPurcaru Ion Bogdan, 2014 M03 13 - 540 páginas My two biggest passions concerning computers are hardware and gaming. I
wrote this book because I don’t want that important pieces of history
regarding computer hardware, games and, in a smaller amount the 80’s
operating systems to be forgotten and lost. I want everyone to
appreciate the hardware and software industry and especially the people
behind them as they worked many days and nights to deliver us fast and
advanced computers and entertaining and complex games. |
