The GBA Pixel Book – The Ultimate Art Book for the Game Boy Advance
When the Game Boy Advance launched in 2001, the games industry had supposedly moved on to 3D. Nintendo's compact pixel art powerhouse proved otherwise – and became the last great bastion of 2D pixel art before the indie movement carried the torch forward. The GBA Pixel Book is the definitive tribute to that era: a collaboration between British publisher Bitmap Books and German retro experts Elektrospieler, meticulously translated from the German original for English-language readers.
