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.

Amazing book packed with lots of memories, I forgot many of the demos/intros that entertained my childhood and this book is great to reconnect with them.
I had a small trouble with trying to make the order but the customer service was super responsive, found the bug and fixed it so that I could order 2 copies of that book, one for my friend Ulrick and one for myself. We were both part of the Amiga demoscene at that time 1988-1992, in a French group called IRIS, and it is so nice to have access to such a book that capture this period.

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.

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!
