[Title] It’s behind you - The making of a computer Game [Author] Bob Pape [Rating] ★★★ [Year] 2013 [Read] 2013/09/30 [Review] 
Vividly conveys the fly-by-night and chaos of early computer games and some of the contortions & challenges of dealing with the limited computers of the day. All in all, though, I think Mechner’s The Making of Prince of Persia is a better read if you’re not specifically interested in R-Type.
