    5 Star Review  I hesitated to buy these books for a long time, but in the end I didn't regret it. I grew up with the Amiga and the demo scene was an important part of my youth (I'm almost 50 now). Reading the book and watching the corresponding demos on YouTube at the same time gave me a lot of great dejavu. The background information on the respective programmers, graphic designers and musicians is also very interesting, although there could have been a little more of it. I bought the first two parts together and am looking forward to the third part being released.

    5 Star Review  Does it contain analysis, history and technical data of the demos?

  • 5 Star Review  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.

    5 Star Review  This is the second book that I've bought from Editions64k and I'm yet to be disappointed. The quality of the book and the passion that has gone into creating it is wonderful. The book is a lot bigger than I expected too. It's jam packed with so many logos and has the great addition of stories and explanations from some of the artists..

    I bought this book for my boyfriends as a Christmas Present and he was over the moon with it. We've spent hours pouring over the book together spotting our favourite demo logos on Amiga and C64 (though there's a variety of platforms covered!).

    The demoscene needs more recognition and it's awesome to see it's being docimented in these books. This one is definitely a must have for any demo art lovers book collection!
