In the Shadow of the CPC - The Legacy of Amstrad Games
In the Shadow of the CPC is a tribute book entirely devoted to Amstrad CPC games. Through a careful selection of iconic titles, this project traces the history, creativity and soul of a machine that had a profound impact on European video games, particularly in France.
The first coffee table Amstrad CPC book!
Richly illustrated, the book combines screenshots, anecdotes and interviews to bring back to life an era when a few kilobytes were enough to spark the imagination. It is aimed at both gamers of the time and those curious to discover an essential part of video game history.
This project is above all a labour of love and a means of passing on knowledge, with the aim of preserving the memory of the CPC and paying tribute to the developers and gamers who brought this unique machine to life.
By supporting this book, you are helping to revive a gaming heritage that is too often overlooked — and give it the place it deserves.
