This stunning 224-page hardback book not only tells the stories of some of the seminal video games of the 1970s and 1980s, but shows you how to create your own games inspired by them using Python and Pygame Zero, following examples programmed by Raspberry Pi founder Eben Upton.

In the first of two volumes, we remake five classic video games – ranging from Pong to Sensible Soccer, each represents a different genre. We interview the games’ original creators and learn from their example, as well as utilise the art and audio engineering skills of two of the 1980s’ most prolific games developers for our recreated versions of the games.

Who is the book for?
I enjoy digging back into retro games and whilst growing up remember wanting to design and make a video game from scratch, even playing around with BASIC to create some text based adventure games. To me this book is perfect for:

Anyone that wants to play retro titles with a new feel.
Anyone (young or old) that wants to program a game, spend time taking a games programming apart (hint: great for cheating at a game) or to see how great game design can make (or break) a game.
Code Clubs that are looking for a different way to engage with learners.
