Retro gaming with the Raspberry Pi

Paulo Laureano
Paulo Laureano Book

Buy and/or Download the PDF: https://magpi.raspberrypi.com/books/retro-gaming-raspberry-pi-2nd-edition 

 Build your own recreation of classic computers (like the ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64 & Amiga), your own arcade cabinet or handheld, a headstart in coding your own projects, etc.

Easy read and a ton of inspiration for weekend projects for the geet in you! :-)

What you learn from this book is transferable to other computers and operating systems, other than the Raspberry Pi used on the examples.

I went the full nine yards, and built my own arcade machine for my "man cave"

The Raspberry Pi and this book is probably the best gift combo I can think off for people that like technology and classic arcade games.

I even made my own version of the classic Arcade Frogger, inspired by the first edition of this book, because "pixel perfect" collisions and the old graphics could use a revamp. Go download it for free (Linux, Mac & Windows)
