Bitmap Books- The CRPG book, a guide to computer rpgs!
Показать описание
Every now and then a piece of media can perfectly encapsulate a period of my life. This book does that quite well. From the mid 80s through the mid 90s, I lived and breathed computer RPGs. I was there when a lot of these games were fresh and new. I would glean every nugget of info I could from ads, magazine articles, the back of the boxes, or anywhere that gave me a glimpse at what lied underneath the cover of the game.
I really had no choice in the matter. I could never talk any friends into trying the tabletop experiences, so I had to settle for the next best thing- electronic ones.
If you're a retro gaming enthusiast or a glutton for punishment (or possibly a bit of both), there's a lot to enjoy in this book, especially if you didn't experience it first hand as it was coming out.
I did. I don't miss the legal pads full of maps, the copyright wheels, the choose your own adventure articles the game would tell you to read, bad text parsers, obtuse puzzles, irrecoverable glitches and errors (although we still see these!), and all the other jank old games had in them that toughened up our gaming stamina.
There is a certain level of nostalgia to all that though. Flipping through this certainly does get me excited for the JRPG book they've got coming in the future!
