But Despite The Scarcity Of Home Computers And The Absence Of Hardware And Software Markets, Czechoslovakia Hosted A Remarkably Active Diy Microcomputer Scene In The 1980S, Producing More Than Two Hundred Games That Were By Turns Creative, Inventive, And Politically Subversive.

Drawing From Extensive Interviews As Well As Political, Economic, And Social History, Gaming The Iron Curtain Tells A Compelling Tale Of Gaming The System, Introducing Us To Individuals Who Used Their Ingenuity To Be Active, Be Creative, And Be Heard.
