    5 Star Review  It's worth it if you are interested in the amiga and more specifically the demo scene.
    A beautifull book, like vol 1 and 2, lots of interviews, beautiful pictures, barcode to directly view the videos of many demos, ....
    Made by Amiga and demo scene passionates, to see a side of the demo scene that we don't necessarily have !
    A must to have !

  • 4 Star Review  Great T-shirt, the size seems strange at first (wider than regular) but when you wear it this is not apparent anymore.

    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  Just get it! - absolutely love the details and anecdotes through out the beautiful illustrations. It takes me right back there at The Party back in the 90s.

    Absolutely stunning compendium of the amiga scene and it's history. Wow.
