(1983)
A novel by

 
 
From the author of The Obnoxious Jerks, a tale of hardcore gamers who try to keep their town from banning arcades . . .

It's 1983, long before the heyday of personal computers and home consoles, so the only serious videogames are the wildly popular quarter-eating machines at the local arcade. But when the town council decides the games are evil and tries to ban them, the gamers of the town of Bunker Hill Bluffs mobilize to try to keep their entertainment free from the censors. And in the process Zoz Boylan, one of the ringleaders of the protest, learns a lot more than he'd bargained for about life, politics, and the opposite sex.
