Publisher's Summary

It is November 1983 and young Billy Twist and his friends are about to discover the exciting new world of microcomputers.

Billy and his friends start on their journey but run into some obstacles as they try to setup a computer gaming club.

Take a trip into the 80s world of micros, 80s pop culture, and classic video games in a story for 8-bit micro fans and geeks.

Billy is a typical kid growing up in the 80s - the age of the microcomputer. An age of wonder for teens and adults alike.

A nostalgic story of ZX Spectrums, Commodore 64, Amstrad and Ataris.

If I didn’t grow up in the 80s I would be jealous of everyone that did - because the 80s rocked!

A fun little nostalgia hit

A fun nostalgic book for those who were kids in the era or maybe younger retro gamers.
Easy to follow simple story
Voice acting a little annoying but fine
