Online services like Virtual Console and Good Old Games grant us access to a wealth of releases that you once had to scour car boot sales to find, while developers like Square Enix seem intent on remaking all their greatest hits on modern consoles. However, there really is nothing quite like playing an old game on the hardware it was intended for, which is where the book you see before you will come in handy. Charting the history of videogames hardware from 1977 to 1999, this handbook inspects many of the greatest games machines ever made, retelling their fascinating behind-the-scenes stories and detailing the best games you should look out for once you’ve bought one. This revised edition includes new sections on the Acorn Electron, SNES and the Philips Videopac G7000, as well as its predecessor Magnavox Odyssey – the very first gaming console. Once you’ve read about the very best retro hardware within, you’ll definitely want to buy at least one.  \nVideogames Hardware  \nImagine Publishing Ltd  \nRichmond House  \n33 Richmond Hill  \nBournemouth  \nDorset BH2 6EZ  \n􀀈 +44 (0) 1202 586200 [Website: www.imagine-publishing.co.uk](Website: www.imagine-publishing.co.uk)  \nTwitter: @Books_Imagine  \n[Facebook: www.facebook.com/ImagineBookazines](Facebook: www.facebook.com/ImagineBookazines)  \nHead of Publishing  \nAaron Asadi  \nHead of Design  \nRoss Andrews  \nProduction Editor  \nSanne de Boer  \nDesigner  \nJohn Ndojelana  \nSenior Art Editor  \nGreg Whitaker  \nPrinted by  \nWilliam Gibbons, 26 Planetary Road, Willenhall, West Midlands, WV13 3XT  \nDistributed in the UK, Eire & the Rest of the World by  \nMarketforce, 5 Churchill Place, Canary Wharf, London, E14 5HU  \nTel 0203 787 [9060 www.marketforce.co.uk](9060 www.marketforce.co.uk)  \nDistributed in Australia by  \nNetwork Services (a division of Bauer Media Group), Level 21 Civic Tower, 66-68 Goulburn Street, Sydney, New South Wales 2000, Australia Tel +61 2 8667 5288  \nDisclaimer  \nThe publisher cannot accept responsibility for any unsolicited material lost or damaged in the post.
