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.

What an amazing trip down memory lane. I was simultaneously reading and going to Youtube/Soundcloud to find all the Demo's and amazing music from that time period. Both books are well worth getting if you were at all involved in the Demo scene or if you just loved the productions.

Bonjour, je sais que le bouquin n'est pas encore sorti mais juste une petite suggestion : pourquoi ne pas créer une chaine Youtube "Edition 64K" avec une playlist des différentes démos présentes dans les bouquins ? Ca éviterais de scanner un QRCode pour aller voir la démo en question. Merci pour tout le travail et Viva Amigaaaaaaa !!!!

Truely a good book to go through, reliving all the memories of the beautiful arts.
The packaging was awesome for the Kickstarters (special box with extra's).
Only wish is that the had book started earlier in time. 10 years or so. There was already excellent art being produced, also with art-packs (ascii/ansi). That could have avoided also to a wider spread in art groups and therefor less feeling of 'more of the same'.
