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.

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'.

It's worth it if you are interested in the amiga and more specifically the demo scene.
A beautifull book, like vol 1 and 2, lots of interviews, beautiful pictures, barcode to directly view the videos of many demos, ....
Made by Amiga and demo scene passionates, to see a side of the demo scene that we don't necessarily have !
A must to have !

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.

A mesmerizing time capsule, rekindling the magic of Amiga demos. This book's visual journey, enriched with insider stories, beautifully encapsulates the era when creativity knew no bounds. An essential read for any Amiga fan, it's a heartfelt homage to the pioneers who turned pixels into poetry.

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!

These books are amazing. I bought the first 2 demoscene books and the Amiga Logo Art book too. Well printed, beautiful layout and texts. Shipping method gave full emails and tracking and arrived days early. Can't wait for the third book of the set. Thanks.
