32 Bit Library is a retro gaming book series for nostalgic gamers. Each volume is a curated retrospective of games from the original PlayStation library. Every game inside has a written entry discussing key details and information, not a generic review, and details on what made each title unique. Screenshots from each game highlight moments and refresh readers on these classic titles. Bonus entries from industry professionals add extra content to each volume. The goal is to have an archive of the PlayStation catalog organized chronologically and focused on a specific publisher or genre with each volume.
32 Bit Library Volume 1 focuses on Capcom, a premier publisher of the original PlayStation. Looking through all 46 different games over the course of hundreds of pages, you can chronologically see the evolution of Capcom’s extraordinary output on that famous gray box. Bonus essays are provided by Jason Dvorak from Game-Rave.com, John Linneman from Digital Foundry and DF Retro, and Audi Sorlie from Limited Run Games and DF Retro.
The standard paperback edition is the most affordable way to jump into the 32 Bit Library series. It’s a 6” x 9” standard size book. Other formats are also available.
