101 Amiga Games That Influenced The Gaming Industry

Poor / Lazy production values; Cannot justify this price.Extremely lazy descriptions - almost all repeats of one another.Very disappointedOwn many retro-gaming books, This has to be one of the biggest disappointments .

Very disappointing: all screenshots and no substance. This book is light on content with very little text accompanying each title. Typically each game gets a 2-page spread in landscape format. The left page shows a full-size screenshot while the right page is split into quarters, three of which are more screenshots while the remaining quarter contains title info, eg Publisher, Developer, Release Date, No. Players, and a sentence that explains why the title is "special". Sadly this sentence starts with either "It was the lead platform" or "Amiga exclusive" and rarely expands on that. No magazine review snippets. No anecdotes from the author. Extremely bland.I do applaud the author for taking the time and effort to collate a decent list of Amiga games but to me this book does not have any particular value. I flicked through it within minutes. Contrast this to the excellent books published by Hiive and the recent "Ocean - The History" published by Fusion Retro Books. They are full of content and actually take time to read through. If I'd have paid, say, £7.99 for this one I probably wouldn't grumble, but for £25 it's a massive waste of money.
