Bitmap Books is proud to present the Unofficial SNES Pixel Book . Created in collaboration with German publisher Elektrospieler, this lavish 272-page volume celebrates the golden age of 16-bit gaming on Nintendo's ultra-popular home console.

Carefully translated from the original German text into English, the book contains in-depth articles covering the most important genres of the vast SNES games portfolio. They are accompanied by tens of thousands of screenshots taken, composed and selected especially for this volume, representing a combination of single images, cutouts, sprawling montages and gigantic level maps.

Whether it's a colossal spaceship, a screen-filling boss monster, a gigantic fortress, or a comprehensive level overview, gamers can admire their favorite games and characters in a way they've never seen them before. The book features a huge number of titles, from obscure curiosities to the greatest classics, including Street Fighter II, Super Mario World, Super Castlevania IV, Axelay, Chrono Trigger, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, and Final Fantasy VI - all beautifully presented and preserved for the ages.

The numerous games have been grouped by genre, and insightful and fascinating insights are provided into the development of genres and design trends and their impact on today's video game landscape. Overall, the project represents the culmination of many years of work by authors Robert Bannert and Christine Bauer and translator Thomas Nickel.

The book is offered in hardback form with a stain-varnished slipcase and is produced to Bitmap Books' usual high standards.
