If you're into 8-bit programming and/or graphics you can get a whole range of Retro Jotters on Amazon. The most popular one is the ZX Spectrum one which I've linked here... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0C47JD15H Good luck with finding the others as the site search engine is absolutely useless. #zxspectrum #retrojotter #c64 #agonlight #amstradcpc #gamingbooks #gamedev #art #pixelart #puttycad

Today arrived the Gameguide for the Atari Jaguar by Karl Morris, published by Zafinn Books. It's well made and a nice read, but at 50 Euros, it's not cheap at all. It's a personal evaluation on the games library, game by game. And probably all reviews are biased by personal preference. And if you want to give them a score, you have to apply some metric. Still, I wish it was a bit more neutral on that side of things, as the preferences of the author might not align with those of the reader.
So do I like it? Yes. Would I recommend it? Sure. If you're into the Jaguar, this is a nice book to put on your coffee table and flip through, or hand to a friend visiting you to give them some insight into Jag gaming. Probably the best part for me personally are the extensive interviews with indie devs in the last part of the book. Even comes with a small history of the console, which reminds me to finish that 3rd editon of Clipped Claws to provide an even more extensive view (shameless self promition).
Happy Jag gaming everyone!

Picked up this very cool Boss Fight Books bundle from Humble. Especially interested to read the Metal Gear Solid, GoldenEye and Spelunky books (the latter of which is written by the dev which is really cool!)
I'll say though (and not trying to be hyper critical here) the cover art on these aren't ideal. The GoldenEye one is actually the deluxe edition which has different cover art (I'll need to update it manually), but as a whole these are all very uninspiring.
I know they're probably stock/public domain images and the production budget probably isn't massive for these books, but surely a few more people might be drawn in to buy these full price with some more appealing covers!
That's a nitpick though - excited to read through them all!

I've been meaning to post this since Christmas but never got around to it.
Before and during Christmas I received quite a bit of gaming literature that will hopefully last me well into the New Year! Thought I'd share! 😀

Picked up a copy of "I'm too young to die" [1] and thought of taking a quick family photo of all the game related books in my room.
It's not all of them (e.g. the #Mastertronic book [2] is missing) and I didn't add companion books like the Daggerfall Chronicles [3] and so on but WOW! Spread out like this, there's a lot already.
Guess, I'd need a shelf soon😅
