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 Vol 4 focuses on Square, Atlus, Enix, and Working Designs. Inside, you’ll find a chronological look at every game these publishers made on Sony’s original PlayStation. Starting in 1995 and releasing until 2003, these publishers brought a wave of unique titles originating from Japan. While this book is filled with many RPGs, it also covers amazing strategy, fighting, and even music/rhythm titles. Dive in and rediscover 60+ titles spread over 400 pages and showcasing 1000+ screenshots. Bonus essays are provided by Jason Dvorak from Game-Rave.com, John Linneman from Digital Foundry and DF Retro, Kurt Kalata from Hardcore Gaming 101, and Audi Sorlie from Limited Run Games.
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.
