Inside the Games You Grew Up with but Never ForgotWith all the whiz, bang, pop, and shimmer of a glowing arcade. The Ultimate History of Video Games reveals everything you ever wanted to know and more about the unforgettable games that changed the world, the visionaries who made them, and the fanatics who played them. From the arcade to television and from the PC to the handheld device, video games have entraced kids at heart for nearly 30 years. And author and gaming historian Steven L. Kent has been there to record the craze from the very beginning.
This engrossing book tells the incredible tale of how this backroom novelty transformed into a cultural phenomenon. Through meticulous research and personal interviews with hundreds of industry luminaries, you'll read firsthand accounts of how yesterday's games like Space Invaders, Centipede, and Pac-Man helped create an arcade culture that defined a generation, and how today's empires like Sony, Nintendo, and Electronic Arts have galvanized a multibillion-dollar industry and a new generation of games. Inside, you'll discover:
-The video game that saved Nintendo from bankruptcy
-The serendipitous story of Pac-Man's design
-The misstep that helped topple Atari's $2 billion-a-year empire
-The coin shortage caused by Space Invaders
-The fascinating reasons behind the rise, fall, and rebirth of Sega
-And much more
Entertaining, addictive, and as mesmerizing as the games it chronicles, this book is a must-have for anyone who's ever touched a joystick.

Best Beef Tallow Cream I’ve Tried
Style: Deep Moisturizing, Size: 1.76 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Exactly what i was looking for, some of the beef tallow creams have a weird consistency which i don’t love wearing during the day. This cream is perfect for day and night. smells very good, application is perfect not greasy, moisturizing, soft. I love it! 10/10,
will be buying again 💗

Order it! Its great
Style: Deep Moisturizing, Size: 1.76 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I love the texture! Its silky smooth and light on the skin, no weird smell, very moisturizing. Ive used one of the containers for most of my pregnancy to keep the skin on my belly and hips moisturized. I add a few drops of organic frankincense to a nickel-sized amount of this balm and mix it together in my hands before applying. I use a clean q-tip to scoop out the tallow balm as needed too to be sure the rest in the jar stays clean, rather than using my washed fingers, to reduce accidentally contaminating the rest of it somehow. My skin has stayed so healthy thanks to this product. It reduces the itchiness of my expanding skin from the baby growing in my belly, and i think its made a positive difference in preventing stretch marks by keeping my skin hydrated as i use it almost daily and after every shower. I just got my second jar in the mail to use for this last month of my pregnancy, and I will probably use it for my baby when hes born too.
I also love that it comes in nice packaging, with a thank you note, very minimal plastic, and classy label. I dont think the jar is plastic either which i LOVE (pretty sure its glass container?) Thank you to the creators of this product. I kind of wish i could get it in a glass dispenser like lotion but i really dont care at the end of the day. Its amazing. You should try it.

Smells nice and light
Style: Deep Moisturizing, Size: 1.76 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Nice and creamy. Feels silky. Unfortunately, it does not help my knuckles very much. But I would buy it again because it is a good cream.

Excelentt
Style: Deep Moisturizing, Size: 1.76 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Deep Moisturizing, Size: 1.76 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This product is really good, I researched it because it is the closest to human skin, and that was what it did help me repair my skin that was injured after an allergy of more than two months. I felt that I had lost the elasticity and shape of my skin, this fat stuck to me and made me feel safe again.

Will repurchase
Style: Deep Moisturizing, Size: 1.76 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
At 56 years old my skin is pretty dry but this was still a little to heavy for a face cream-- but usable in a pinch. What it is PERFECT for is for your hands before you go to sleep at night. You know you're going to touch your face and pillow during the night so heavily fragranced creams aren't good at all. This is thick enough to make your hands and cuticles feel great but gentle enough not to cause problems if transferred onto your face.
