(* free shipping only for shipping to addresses in Germany)

The Games That Weren't is Bitmap Books' biggest and most ambitious book to date, featuring illustrated snapshots of unreleased games from 1975 to 2015. It covers a wide range of titles from the Atari 2600 to the Sony PlayStation 4, across arcade, home computer, console, handheld and mobile platforms.

Many of these lost classics are featured in detail. Screenshots - some never seen before - help illustrate the stories, and in the case of games for which no images exist, there are specially created artist impressions that give a visual interpretation of what could have been.

Covering over 80 games spanning 40 years, the book is packed with content including interviews with industry legends such as David Crane, Jeff Minter, Matthew Smith, Dan Malone, Eugene Jarvis, Dylan Cuthbert, Andrew and Philip Oliver, Geoff Crammond, Scott Adams, Jon Hare and many more. The Games That Weren't showcases and celebrates well-known and lesser-known unreleased titles, as well as games you may never have heard of - until now. As if that wasn't enough, the book has also been produced to Bitmap Books' typical high standard, with eye-catching fluorescent colors and high-quality binding on premium paper.
