Commodore 64: A Visual Commpendium is the ultimate love letter to one of the most influential home computers ever created. This beautifully crafted 476-page hardback takes you on an extraordinary journey through the C64's rich gaming heritage, spanning from the early 1980s right through to the vibrant homebrew scene of today.
A Journey Through Gaming History
Starting with pioneering titles like Jupiter Lander and Beach Head in 1982, you'll discover how the C64 became home to an incredible diversity of games. The 1980s brought us unforgettable classics such as Dropzone, Impossible Mission, Elite, Mercenary, Uridium, and The Last Ninja. Each game pushed the boundaries of what was possible on the humble breadbin.
As the 1990s arrived, talented developers squeezed even more performance from the ageing hardware. Masterpieces like Turrican, Creatures, and Lemmings proved the C64 still had plenty of life left. Even after Commodore's demise, passionate coders continued creating new games, keeping the platform alive decades after production ceased.

Featuring over 100 titles represented through gorgeous in-game shots and loading screens, this second edition goes beyond mere nostalgia. You'll discover exclusive artwork from legendary ZZAP!64 artist Oliver Frey, profiles of key British developers, fascinating interviews with renowned C64 artists, insights into the demo scene, and showcases of both unreleased titles and modern homebrew games still being developed today.

Printed on high-quality paper with full colour throughout, this hardback edition features sewn binding, a spot-varnished protective dust jacket, and contributions from over 80 industry legends. Whether you spent your childhood mastering these games or you're discovering the C64's legacy for the first time, this visual commpendium is an essential addition to any retro gaming collection.
