From the (e)Bookshelf: The Secret History of Mac Gaming

It's easy enough to say "I'm more likely to play an old computer game than a new one," but in trying to lay out my explanations for that I do seem pushed to the further admission "but I can't find the time for much of even that; instead, I just seem to read about those old games." While reading, though, I did happen to learn about a crowd-funded book about games on the Macintosh, which very much caught my attention. Given the cost of having a printed copy shipped across the Atlantic, I was happy to settle for an electronic version. Once I'd made my pledge, however, it was a wait for the book to be finished and edited, and when I did have my copy I was trying to tie up a loose end by reading another book on a similar subject, if one about a computer I hadn't played games on. The release version of Brian Bagnall's Commodore: The Amiga Years (the middle volume of a promised trilogy) had at least taken out the barbed anecdote in a preliminary draft made available to Kickstarter backers about the disk-swapping that would have set in had someone tried loading an application on a single-drive Macintosh from a disk without a System Folder; while strictly true, I'd been inclined to insist there was supposed to have been space for the system and application on a single disk. Once through that book, though, I could move on at last to Richard Moss's The Secret History of Mac Gaming.
