Commodore 64: a visual compendium 2e FREE SHIPPING*

(* free shipping only for shipping to addresses in Germany) 2nd edition Commodore 64: a visual compendium celebrates one of the most popular home computers of all time and takes the reader on a journey through the C64's diverse and colorful games library, starting in 1982 with early releases such as Jupiter Lander and Beach Head , and continuing through the decades. The 1980s saw a whole host of amazing C64 titles: Dropzone, Impossible Mission, Elite, Mercenary, Uridium, The Last Ninja ... These and other games represented an incredible variety of genres, from shoot 'em ups to puzzle games, racing games, arcade adventures, and even games that still defy categorization - such as The Sentinel . In the 1990s, talented programmers made the machine do things that the original hardware designers hadn't thought possible. Games like Turrican, Creatures and Lemmings showed that there was still life in the old CPU. Even when Commodore went bankrupt and the computer was no longer manufactured, the games still came. This book is a tribute not only to the groundbreaking games of the C64's official lifespan, but also to the developers who kept the system alive. It includes games completed and released a decade after the last C64 left the shops. Commodore 64: a visual compendium contains well over a hundred titles presented through beautiful in-game shots or loading screens, as well as a gallery of images by legendary Zzap!64 artist Oliver Frey. There are also a number of features including profiles of key Britsoft developers, interviews with famous C64 artists, a look back at the demo scene, and a look at unreleased titles and new games released more than 20 years after the last machine rolled off the Commodore production line. Printed in full color throughout, on high-quality paper, and featuring a spot-varnished dust jacket, this unique title is a treat for anyone who grew up with and learned their craft on that ubiquitous home computer. product features English , 500 pages. 170 mm × 230 mm.
