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.

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.

Superb book with loads of memories. I preferred the beginning of the book and the earlier years when pixelling and antialiasing really was an art and not done for you by a more modern machine. Again great to see some of my pieces in full colour.

Great book about the early years of Psygnosis (up until 1993) with lots of interviews. With lots of screenshots and package-shots, this also works perfectly as a coffee-table book. Highly recommended. Delivery was really quick and in a sturdy package, so the book arrived in perfect condition.

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'.

Really enjoyable history of Psgynosis, with great interviews from developers, graphic and muscial artists. Detailing the various development companies and relations between them along with the games published themselves. All with high quality pictures and a nice touch of QR codes to follow external video links for various interviews.
