Samuel Barranco, César Strawberry (Foreword)
Inspired by medieval illustrated books, Grotesque Bestiary of Video Games is an encyclopedia of the most bizarre, disgusting, and spectacular creatures in the video game industry. From the limited computers like the Spectrum and Amiga to the incredible modern consoles like PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch, battles with final bosses are the most challenging and cathartic moments in nearly every video game.
Samuel Barranco (vocalist of Def Con Dos and XpresidentX) presents the imposing designs of nearly 200 insane creatures, as well as their successive reappearances and versions. Among them, you’ll find familiar faces like the Dobkeratops from R-Type or the Cyberdemon from Doom, but you’ll also discover lesser-known beings, products of the feverish imaginations of graphic artists and designers over more than 40 years. Thanks to these creations, you'll uncover strange video games you might never have encountered otherwise.
But even more delirious than the appearance of these monsters are their unique stories, ranging from interdimensional alien invasions through cosmic voids to ambitious cybernetic or atomic experiments to conquer the world.
Prepare to dive into the most bizarre and grotesque side of video games.
