We've had countless books and magazines showing a resurgence of retro gaming and the love of all that we grew up on. But it now looks as if another book is to take center stage, as this one isn't just created by Kieren Hawken but other contributors will be involved such as our good friend Nostalgia Nerd who does some rather fine retro gaming videos. Titled as '8-Bit on a Budget ' this book that is aiming for funding, will be a fun and fascinating look back at the best 8-bit budget games of the eighties across multiple systems.

Welcome to the story of the Commodore Amiga by Nostalgia Nerd


It's nearly time for bed but have I got an early morning surprise for you! If you want to know more about the Amiga, it's historic story and how it become the legendary system that it is known as today by many retro heads such as myself. Then you really should watch Nostalgia Nerds latest Youtube Part 1 video of ' The Amiga Story '.
