  • 5 Star Review  This book is simply awesome!… every (not so) serious scener needs this really bad! sometimes you simply fell too lazy to dig out your hardware just to show off someone else what demoscene means so this books come very handy (unless you neet to show some moving pixels with sountrack…) 😉

    5 Star Review  I really enjoyed volume 1 and volume 2 is great too. I backed through Indiegogo and got the extra postcards, which look really nice. And the book itself is really well made, with the handy QR codes and so many great interviews with the sceners. It gives a really good flavour of how the Amiga demoscene was developing and making use of the new AGA hardware. Top work.
