    5 Star Review  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.

  • 5 Star Review  Great book with loads of nostalgia. Loved reading about some of the demos and thoughts from coders and graphicians. Also great to see some of my art in the book in full colour.
