"Now the Chips Are Down is a wonderful account of the fondly remembered yet often overlooked BBC Microcomputer. Considering the machine's development, its role in promoting computer literacy in 1980s Britain, and its enduring legacy, Gazzard's combination of meticulous archival research and rich case studies ensures that the 'Beeb' takes its rightful place in gaming and computing history."
—James Newman, Professor of Digital Media, Bath Spa University
"Now the Chips Are Down is a thorough, fascinating, and much-needed look at the quiet revolution that was the BBC Micro and how the ripples its innovations created can still be felt in computing today."
—Tristan Donovan, author of Replay: The History of Video Games
