I'm a fan of YouTube and all-round internet celeb Ashens and it was impossible not to read this in his sardonic tones.

It avoided the usual terrible videogame punch bags such as ‘ET' and ‘Superman 64' which was refreshing. Instead concentrating on obscure British computer games which may have only cost a couple of pounds, but still stabbed the hapless buyer with a jagged 8-bit knife of disappointment. As the dreaded realisation hit that you'd spent your meagre pocket money on an unplayable pup of a cassette. yes, I've been there, done that...

What was in the book was very enjoyable, with the poor targets providing many laughs and a few guest writers chipping in too. The problem was that it was a slim volume and was all over very quickly. I was having great fun and then it was finished. Leave the crowd wanting more I guess.

I hope Mr. Ashen writes another volume, or ten, I'll certainly be onboard, but a little more content per load would be lovely.
