Klappentext Equal parts hilarious and informative, Hey! Listen! should be in every gamer's library. - Lucy James, Gamespot An informative, accessible romp through the early years of the games industry. - Adam Rosser, BBC Radio 5Live Comedian Steve McNeil's fascination with video games can be traced back to the golden period from the early 70s to the late 90s.
