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 Retro Gaming is excellent, I found the sections on Beginner Game Design less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Game Development that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing Creative Coding more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for Programming will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on Retro Games, if not the definitive work.
