The Retro Wonders Game Bundle - Curated by Simon Carless

The first Video Game StoryBundle of 2018 is a massive one, since we have three brand new game history/analysis ebooks you can't get anywhere else, as well as some amazing overlooked & sought-after tomes based around retro video game goodness.

Some of the biggest highlights for this bundle include exclusive ebooks on Hideo Kojima's 'lost classic' horror title P.T., on the Doom franchise's amazing start and triumphant 2016 return, and on unlikely gems for the Atari 2600/VCS (including, yes, E.T the Extra Terrestrial!)

We also have a truly wonderful book on the history of the Xbox, a complete look at the rare Famicom Disk System and its games, and a trilogy of Douglas Adams-style novellas about a retro computer/game collector, as well as rare games revealed from the Unseen64 crew and a look at the historical heroines that come in game protagonist form.

Once again, the optional charity for this bundle is the Video Game History Foundation (http://gamehistory.org), a brand new non-profit organization dedicated to cataloging, digitizing, and preserving the history of video games. – Simon Carless
