NEOGEO: A Visual History | Retro Gaming Book by Bitmap Books
Product ID: 52871693
For a brief few years in the early 1990s, the NEOGEO was the pinnacle of video gaming. An elite, exclusive console that didn't just emulate the arcade experience, as so many 8 and 16-bit consoles tried to do. It was the arcade experience, pixel for pixel, on your TV at home. Born in the days before polygons, the NEOGEO was a staunchly 2D system that gave birth to some of gaming's most iconic franchises such as Fatal Fury, The King of Fighters, Samurai Shodown and, of course, Metal Slug. NEOGEO: A Visual History is the first officially licensed NEOGEO art book of its kind to be released in the English language. A pictorial celebration of all things NEOGEO, it's crammed full of beautiful images split into dedicated chapters, including Hardware, Box Art, Character and Concept Art, and Pixel Art. This imagery has been collated and photographed from all over the world, then handpicked to appear in this unique and exclusive volume. NEOGEO: A Visual History also features official interviews with key staff integral to the NEOGEO's history, including producer Yasuyuki Oda, artist Tatsuhiko Kanaoka (Falcoon) and composer Hideki Asanaka (sha-v). The book weighs in at a healthy 400 pages in length, A4 in size, and is available in hardback only. Metallic gold ink is used throughout and the binding employs thread rather than glue, so it will be much more durable and can open flat, minimising imagery lost in the binding. Produced using the very best in print techniques, it will happily grace any gamer's coffee table. NEOGEO: A Visual History promises to be a real collector's item for all fans of the NEOGEO system and of classic gaming in general. It provides a fascinating insight into the world of the mystical NEOGEO console – something that was so unobtainable for many of us back in the '90s.

Beautiful and wonderfully curated
A niche product to be sure, however this is a premium product. It has weight in your hands and is nicely bound, along with a hefty stock.Probably one of the highest quality coffee-table (?) books I've ever owned. If you find yourself watching retro You Tube gaming channels, you need this.I've just bought the Amiga book and have my eye on the SNES book amongst others. I think the author has found a genuine market here for a high quality product for the discerning enthusiast.

Un magnifique Artbook avec des interviews (Livre en Anglais)
Un très beau livre (Artbook) avec des interviews (attention le livre est en Anglais) sur l'univers SNK.A l'origine cet ouvrage est édité et peut être commandé directement chez son éditeur (Édition Bitmap Books) mais aux vues des frais de port avec l’Angleterre je vous recommande de passer par ici même si au final le prix sera un tout petit plus cher au niveau de la conversion (mais beaucoup moins cher qu'avec les frais de douane).Un magnifique livre donc à regarder autant qu'à lire. Il existe également d'autres livres sur le sujet mais qui sont de plus en plus difficiles à trouver à un prix correct, celui-ci du coup devient je pense un bon compromis.

Beautiful imagery and detailed history
If you are a fan of classic arcade gaming, and particularly the hardware might of the Neo*Geo during the 90's, you absolutely must get this book. I've been setting my standards about orders and so much in life after what I personally endured in 2020, so my expectations were reserved about what I was in for when I finally received this book. I am ecstatic to report that they have been met and the quality of the book and the material within far exceeded what I had hoped. It arrived in record time and in perfect condition. Don't hesitate if you're on the fence about ordering. Get it now!!
