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.

Great quality book with loads of photos from the Amiga demo/hacking scene. A nice little touch are the QR codes that give you direct access to the demo’s on Youtube. Fantastic customer service from Christophe who made sure my order was extremely well packed so that it arrived in pristine condition.

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.

Really enjoyable history of Psgynosis, with great interviews from developers, graphic and muscial artists. Detailing the various development companies and relations between them along with the games published themselves. All with high quality pictures and a nice touch of QR codes to follow external video links for various interviews.

I really enjoyed volume 1 and volume 2 is great too. I backed through Indiegogo and got the extra postcards, which look really nice. And the book itself is really well made, with the handy QR codes and so many great interviews with the sceners. It gives a really good flavour of how the Amiga demoscene was developing and making use of the new AGA hardware. Top work.
