Aidan Moher has managed to pull at nearly every nostalgic heartstring … A must read!

This book is my life in an alternative history. [It] talks about the kind of experiences that I’ve tried to recapture despite never having most of them originally.

It’s a love letter, a personal history, and a focused dive into the history of JRPGs all in one and it’s a hell of a book.

A work that touches on technological change, pop culture trends, cross-cultural differences, and new frontiers in narrative, genre, and entertainment.

Fight, Magic, Items captures the evolution of the genre and why it continues to grab us, decades after those first iconic pixelated games released.

The author’s voice and experiences provide a relatable perspective to a genre entrenched in fantasy, and reminds the reader that every single game is the product of human labor and imagination.
