About this ebook
A homage to gaming and gamers, this is a snapshot of the life of James Roach, gaming obsessive, collector and competitor. It's a story about growing old, and falling in love, and feeling as retro and useless as a Phillips CD-i. Essential reading for anyone who has ever played Mario Kart, Bomberman, Robotron, Soul Calibur or Katamari Damacy.
