I'm finishing up this book - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racing_the_Beam - which goes in to a lot more detail - really interesting reading :)

If you enjoyed that, you might also enjoy It's Behind You (http://bizzley.imbahost.com/). It talks about porting R-Type (side-scrolling space shooter) to the ZX Spectrum... and similar fun around squeezing down high-end (for the time) arcade games to run on hardware that shouldn't really support it - a great read!
