Just watched the video on the kickstarter page and instantly backed the hard back version. It will go nicely with the visual compendium book I backed last year.

I already have the Ocean book and the gold edition of the US Gold book. Chris has done an excellent job with those and this will be no exception.

And again - there is NO interview or article or something regardin' Andrew Braybrook? This was a reason I didn't support Hewson book. How can be a book about Hewson Consultants without AEB???
Chase him, persuade him for a collaboration and I am on. |

wasn't Andrew cover in retro gamer magazine in 2014 in the June issue of Retro Gamer? I'm trying to see what he could bring to the table, afaik wasn't there only three games done on the Amiga he was involved? That's very strange he wasn't in the Hewson book since that's what he's best known from?
some great perks being presented on the Amiga : Story of Pixels page..Starquake is getting a full boxed version release now thanks to Galahad. |

Anyway, going back to the topic, am I the only one who's a bit bored of these retrogaming pixel books that are all flash with lotsa blown-up screenshots, but ultimately have little substance?! Last edited by DrBong; 15 June 2016 at 15:31. |

Sounds like easy money to me. Can be done at home, and at no risk due to Kickstarter financing. |

Sad, but he probably doesnt want to be connected with that era anymore. Thank you Neil.
