    5 Star Review  Just get it! - absolutely love the details and anecdotes through out the beautiful illustrations. It takes me right back there at The Party back in the 90s.

    Absolutely stunning compendium of the amiga scene and it's history. Wow.

    5 Star Review  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.
