New Book: When Pixels Ruled the Amiga
![]() I am proud to announce a new book called "When Pixels Ruled the Amiga". It's about the smallest of things: the humble pixel! When you look at an Amiga game it's actually made up of thousands of little squares. This book is a celebration of these normally overlooked pixels. The price will be around £49.99 / 59.99 Euros / $64.99 and it will be published this summer. Fifty famous pixels will be displayed in all their stunning full page glory. Here are some page mock-ups: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Superb! Many books print the pixels at a really small size so you need a magnifying glass to see them. I look forward to big pixel spreads, or even a centrefold containing some particularly magnificent pixel.

Don't forget that abime.net Publishing still has some copies left of the Bluffer's Guide to Retrogaming:

Too many images of pixels on the cover ruin it for me, no buy.
