What you're actually getting
For 99p, this is a Kindle edition covering the Super Nintendo, and honestly, at that price the question isn't really whether it's good value. It is. The question is whether it's your sort of thing.
If you spent any portion of your childhood arguing over who got to hold the second controller, or if you've ever felt a weird pang of something when you hear the Zelda: A Link to the Past overworld music, this is probably going to scratch an itch you didn't know you had.
Who this is actually for
Personally, I'd say this sits best with people who were there. Not just kids who played games, but people who remember the SNES as a specific feeling, a Saturday morning, a particular carpet in a particular living room. That sort of reader will get the most out of it.
It's less suited to someone wanting a dry technical breakdown of hardware specs or market share figures. This is culture writing, not a Wikipedia article with better formatting.
One honest reservation: the lack of original pricing context makes it hard to say how much of a deal this actually is. There's no "was" price here. It could have always been 99p. But at under a quid for something the community has pushed to nearly 800 degrees of heat, it's hard to find a reason to leave it.
If retro gaming writing is your thing, just grab it. It's less than a chocolate bar.
