"Like" and follow Memoirs of a Virtual Caveman on Facebook and Twitter. Originally released in 2008, Memoirs of a Virtual Caveman was a personal memoir I wrote about growing up during the "golden age" of videogames. It was discontinued in 2009, as I planned to start work on a "definitive edition" to replace the original. On July 15, 2014, the definitive edition of Memoirs of a Virtual Caveman made its debut, loaded with all new stories, pictures - and new stories from a wide variety of contributors. Among those contributors are Sam Roberts of the Strider fansite The Light Sword Cypher Mainframe ; Rondal Scott III of the pop-subculture website Strange Kids Club ; Earl Green , webmaster of TheLogbook.com and author of the Doctor Who books VWORP!1 and VWORP!2 ; Rob O’Hara , author of the books Commodork and Invading Spaces ; Cat DeSpira , former editor of Retrocade Magazine and owner of the blog Retro Bitch ; Brett Weiss , author of the Classic Home Video Games book series; William Cassidy , of The Odyssey² Homepage ; Steven , of the retrogaming website RVG Fanatic ; Mike Plasket , contributing editor to the retrogaming website Hardcore Gaming 101 ; and many more. I’ve also included interviews with videogame industry veterans David Crane, Martin Alessi, Dan Tovar, Dave Wilkins, Yuzo Koshiro , and Kouichi "Isuke" Yotsui .
