In the Shadow of CPC
In the 1980s, one microcomputer left a lasting impression on an entire generation of gamers: the Amstrad CPC. With its bright colours, shrill music, legendary loading times and cult games, for many of us it was a gateway to video games, creativity and imagination.
A tribute book entirely devoted to Amstrad CPC games. Through a careful selection of iconic titles, this project traces the history, creativity and soul of a machine that had a profound impact on European video games.

Truely a good book to go through, reliving all the memories of the beautiful arts.
The packaging was awesome for the Kickstarters (special box with extra's).
Only wish is that the had book started earlier in time. 10 years or so. There was already excellent art being produced, also with art-packs (ascii/ansi). That could have avoided also to a wider spread in art groups and therefor less feeling of 'more of the same'.

I hesitated to buy these books for a long time, but in the end I didn't regret it. I grew up with the Amiga and the demo scene was an important part of my youth (I'm almost 50 now). Reading the book and watching the corresponding demos on YouTube at the same time gave me a lot of great dejavu. The background information on the respective programmers, graphic designers and musicians is also very interesting, although there could have been a little more of it. I bought the first two parts together and am looking forward to the third part being released.
