Amiga CD32 Digital Encyclopedia

After 2 long years my Amiga CD32 Digital Encyclopedia (found here https://screenpedia.online/?product=album ) is finally finished! I would like to thank everybody on EAB that helped along the way whether it was answering one of my hundreds of questions or simply lending support in particular Amigajay, jotd, lilalurl, DamienD and RCK. As a thankyou to the EAB community I have added a discount code that can be added at the checkout to save around 28% off the purchase. Lastly for those that purchase the book and find any mistakes or missing facts about any of the games PM me and I will fix them and release an updated version at no extra charge for life. I hope you enjoy the Amiga CD32 Digital Encyclopedia!

Congratulations!

Any chance you could add a few pages showing the actual content of the book? Cover and index are nice, but not knowing what the content is actually like makes this a blind buy.

I didn't realize the second image in your link was an actual page from the book. At a glance I thought it was the back cover. Whoops!

I have bought your book. It looks nice, very colourful with neat design. However it is incomplete. For example you are missing Pong4K which was released in 2018. I hope you will update it.

BTW: I haven't received an e-mail about completing the details of my account. Can you somehow check it?

First of all thanks for buying it and I hope you are enjoying it.
I decided early on to limit the games library to only games that were released in the CD32's lifecycle I also did this for the critic reviews.
That said I may add a separate section to the back of the book for more current games, thanks for the comments!
Account details are in to and you will receive updates and new book recommendations

Had a brief scan trough before getting proper stuck in, very well put together summary, love how you show how much of the CD itself has been utilised, good incentive to check out these games. Very good value for money, well done!

Thanks, yeah kind of felt I needed to add the CD storage bit to show how under used the CD format was, I will drop that from other systems that use cartridges in future books because it doesnt work as well.

Bought it now, very nice.
Towards the end there are some statistics and pie charts, here I suggest, you could do a chart of the critics score distribution.. It was kind of "depressing" to see that out of ~170 games, there were only 3 or so with a score of 90 or better ;-)

I would give more games score above 90, but that is my point of view and everybody can have it's own. It would be interesting to see a chapter about games that was released after cd32 lifetime, I think about games like Biff Boarding, Reunion, English version of Inherit the Earth and some patched / floppy ported games that plays much better thanks to cd32 pad like Ruff'n'Tumble or Aladdin.
