C64: A Visual Commpendium

March 9, 2014 By ausretrogamer

c64_BookCommodore 64: a visual commpendium is a book that celebrates the beauty of the greatest home computer ever made.

A campaign to create this book will launch as a Kickstarter on April 1, 2014. This is a call to action and is no April Fools’ Day joke! Mark this date in your diary and support this great campaign.

c64_Comm64Created by lifelong Commodore 64 fan and Graphic Designer Sam Dyer, the final book will feature 200+ pages of lovingly designed and beautifully printed artwork. Unlike other Commodore 64 books, it will celebrate the visual side of the computer in a way that has never been seen before.

c64_Turrican2It will be packed full of artwork by Oliver Frey, game art, reviews, loading screens, game maps and photography. The foreword will be written by legendary Sensible Software Graphic Artist Stoo Cambridge.
