What's our customers says

  • 5 Star Review  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.

    5 Star Review  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.

  • 5 Star Review  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.
