Don't Wait!: Build Retro Games and Level Up Your Skills offers a compelling take on Retro Games, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Game Development is excellent, I found the sections on Arcade Development less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Game Design Basics that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing Creative Tech more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for Retro Gaming will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on Indie Game Development, if not the definitive work.
