The hardcover version of this book costs £12.00.

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.

    Looks interesting. Does anyone know if I actually need R Pi to code the games in Python with this book?

      I highly doubt that. Think of the Pi as a dumbed down version of a fully-fledged computer, you can do more on a real one. But you might have fewer issues with the setup with Pi because the book is written for that environment. Python should just run everywhere.
