Immerse yourself in the fascinating history
of Psygnosis.


We publish books that delve into the history of video games, cult machines, forgotten software, underground demos and everything else that shaped the digital era from the 1980s to the present day.
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.

Bonjour, je sais que le bouquin n'est pas encore sorti mais juste une petite suggestion : pourquoi ne pas créer une chaine Youtube "Edition 64K" avec une playlist des différentes démos présentes dans les bouquins ? Ca éviterais de scanner un QRCode pour aller voir la démo en question. Merci pour tout le travail et Viva Amigaaaaaaa !!!!

I received my books after a rather longer than expected shipping delay but as soon as I unpacked my order of all 4 available books - all worries were gone:
- Pristine Quality
- Beautifully done and more-than-awesome layout
- Packaged professionally, not a single dent in any of the books
I'm in awe at the pure beauty of these books and it's wonderful content. For the asked price, this is beyond anyone's expectations!
Don't think too long, put them in the basket and buy them - you won't regret!
