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.

Great book with loads of nostalgia. Loved reading about some of the demos and thoughts from coders and graphicians. Also great to see some of my art in the book in full colour.

Amazing quality books, clearly put together by a team who are passionate about the subject matter. Absolutely loved reading through and reliving so many great memories from the demoscene. Looking forward to the next one!

The second book besides good memories allows me to catch up on demos that I haven't been able to see. The quality of the book is astonishing. I will definitely buy a third one.

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.

Livre très classieux, photos magnifiques. Je me suis surpris à faire de belles découvertes. Merci pour ce magnifique livre que je recommande à tout fan d'Amiga.
Une version dans la langue de Molière aurait été un plus pour moi.
Bravo pour tout ce travail et encore MERCI
