9 July 2022 Excellent content and materials, perhaps a bit too much packed content inside pages. Psygnosis - Games people play Tome OneAntonio B.

22 December 2024 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. Demoscene the AGA yearsMerman

10 May 2023 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. Psygnosis - Games people play Tome OneMr David Sandilands
