C Editorial Review

"Making 8-bit Arcade Games in C" is a book that dives into the technical concepts behind game programming using C language. While some readers who expected to learn game programming logic may have found the book to be too brief or not useful, others found it to be a great book that gives insight into the internals of early 80s video games. The author does a great job explaining concepts that make it easy to experiment with web-based or local emulators, for people who want to write games and programs in C for old arcade boards. The book also has practical value for coders of C/C++ to understand what is happening to their code at the bare-metal level. Some readers expressed disappointment that the book cannot be used on a Kindle Paperwhite.
