Pavel Dobrovský
How were legends like Dungeon Master, Lemmings, Ishar, Doom or Grand Theft Auto created? What computers were they running on? Who made them? And what made them stand out?
In the book "50 Years of Video Games", return to the time when game developers had to figure out everything themselves - from writing the program to publishing. Together, we can follow in the footsteps of the brave pioneers of the authors of these cult titles. The book maps the stories of more than a hundred game legends, on whom generations of young people grew up in the 80s and 90s, for whom games have become as important a part of the cultural outlook as movies, books or comics.
A space of 4–10 pages is dedicated to each game, including interesting stories from the development of the game, original interviews with their creators and an evaluation of the impact and influence of the given game on the entire industry. All this in a unique graphic design with large screenshots and image guides.
