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.

A jewel that brings back memories of my youth, the copy parties, the 68000, RSI, KEFRENS, REBELS, SCOOPEX... Thank you for these rediscovered moments, engraved forever in my heart.

What a trip down memory lane! Fantastic quality book and a must for everyone who enjoyed the demo scene a few decades ago (or just want to learn about it now)

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'.

just amazing! so much digital art in one package! When I was leafing through the book and looking at the logos from my old Amiga days, I could sometimes hear the intro music to these artworks. 🙂

Love both of these books. A lot of work has went into the coalition of their contents and i’m loving the detail and the beautiful imagery. The post cards and poster are also a nice touch. Well done on a wonderful 2nd book that every amiga fan should own. (As well as the first of course!)

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
