Building simple videogames out of stock digital electronics parts,
aimed at hobbyists attempting to learn electronics. Nothing
particularly interesting from a game programmer's standpoint --
even amateur console designers won't find it as useful as a solid
book on digital design. (Basically everything is around VCS level,
but the games are hardcoded in the hardware, like old-school arcade
machines)

I have a copy for amusement's sake. (Two of the ``screenshots'' on
the cover look like combat -- who could go wrong?)
