Commodore Amiga: a visual Commpendium launched - Page 5

Simmo76 · 24 March 2015, 14:04

Getting closer to launch now.
Sam has released a launch video with the following information:

"Everything else is ticking a long nicely. No dramas, just waiting for bits from printers and posters to come back from signing.

In the meantime, I have put together a launch video of the book which will hopefully whet your appetites! I thought it would be fun to do in the style of an old Amiga demo and Echo aka SpoonWizard has kindly allowed me to use his 2014 remake of his original Jesus on E's track!"

Watched the video this morning, pretty good job they did there.

Can't wait to get my copy

Superman · 24 March 2015, 15:38

Its coming very soooon!

I wonder how it's possible I totally miss this campaign

I'm seriously thinking about making myself a birthday gift: Commodore 64 and Amiga books.
A bit expensive, but they look absolutely stunning

Backed this on the first day. Almost went for the putty squad pledge but desided not to because I only had an A500 at the time and the game only runs on an A1200. Then like a month later I got myself an A1200 and now I'm banging my head that I didn't get the game. Ah well I still have the Jim Sachs glicee.

Both books available here by the way

http://www.funstock.co.uk/commodore-...mmpendium-book

Kickstarter backers will have their books & goodies sent in the next couple of weeks.

Just ordered mine from funstock as I missed the kickstarter campaign (gutted as I would've loved the putty squad game and hard book cover).

Does this book have anything on Mindscape games (knightmare, moonstone etc)?

Also in the end were there any big games that couldn't be included as you didn't get the developers permission to print their pics?... Or is that not an issue after all these years?

Baboon · 14 April 2015, 12:00

I guess we will be missing a few big games in the book then?

Rob 1 · 14 April 2015, 16:52

No ones had one yet to check mate...

Sorry my bad... I thought the author (Wilshy?) was posting in this thread?

Anyway not long to go till the release so will find out for sure.

Superman · 19 April 2015, 20:59

I had an update yesterday to say that all the books have now been shipped!

tin · 21 April 2015, 22:14

People in the UK been twittering today that theirs have arrived. I have a red card from the post office

eroom72 · 21 April 2015, 23:47

My copy arrived today :-) been reading through it all day and am not disappointed I think it's excellent. The Another World poster is already on the wall and have listened to the Shadow of The Beast Remix Album.
Can't see much point in the postcards/sticker but the pen will come in handy but at the end of the day I backed this for the book.
Just wish Sword of Sodan was in there as that is the game which made me want an Amiga.

Foul · 22 April 2015, 12:32

received today (France) but with the pen broken... not very important... i'm happy

Superman · 22 April 2015, 15:49

I left for work today at 11:30 and no book up until then. The mail comes late afternoon where I live anyway so it shouldn't be too far away.

chiark · 22 April 2015, 16:49

Mine has arrived today. It is, without overstating it, stunningly well done.
Big thanks and congratulations to all involved. Proper labour of love, it seems!

22 April 2015, 20:15

Received my book today (Germany). Quality is superb, tons of content ... fantastic work.

I just briefly flipped through the pages and it brings back a lot of great memories.

Book is a must buy for any Amiga lover!

Paul_s · 22 April 2015, 20:25

Received mine yesterday - still not opened it, going to wait a bit longer for the PDF version as I'm a sucker for shrinkwrap

Superman · 22 April 2015, 21:49

Just got home from work to a nice surprise

Yep, got mine today too and it looks exactly like yours, except I have the 5 demo-scene post cards and a different carpet!!!
