À propos de ce contenu audio
In a cellar in Watford, undisturbed for four decades, sits the most important breakthrough that the world has ever seen. Except the world has never seen it.
Derek Cooper is a retro gamer.
His small flat is full to the brim with consoles, game cartridges, hulking great tube TVs, retro merchandise, and every handheld gaming device you can think of, and then some. They make him happy, so why not?
When he decides his collection could do with an addition in the form of a real-life, full-size, good old-fashioned arcade cabinet, he can't possibly know what adventures lie ahead of him after he drags the heavy monolith out of a cellar in Watford to his flat and then painstakingly rebuilds the dud electronics, bringing it back to life.
Meanwhile, Derek is skeptical at first when he's set up on a date with a beautiful woman though things seem to be going well.
Only problem: He's desperately in love with the wrong woman.
Will Derek find peace in the world of games, blasting aliens to oblivion? Can an arcade machine from 1981 totally change his love life?
System Restored is a wonderfully exciting rom-com romp through the nostalgic history of video games. A celebration and tribute to gamers everywhere.
