Game Dream Area 51
A collection of art by the legendary pixel artist Tensei (Utata Kiyoshi). This comprehensive reference art book includes all existing setting art for Metal Storm, Cocoron, Little Samson, Nostalgia 1907, The Karate Tournament, Osman, and more.
This book reflects on the remarkable achievements of the famous designer, also known as Takashi Kigure, who has left an indelible mark on video game history.
Tensei Art Dot Works is a groundbreaking collection that delves into Tensei's history and evolution. Tensei started as a regular contributor to Gamest before joining its editorial department, eventually moving on to work with Irem's subsidiary Tamtex, Takeru (founded by former Capcom members), and Mitchell (founded by Roy Ozaki).
The book features eight chapters, each dedicated to a specific work:
Cannon Dancer
Shinsenden
Metal Storm
Cocoron
Nostalgia 1907
Little Samson
Funky Jet
Chatan Yarakuu Shanku - The Karate Tournament
Each chapter includes a review, a section titled "The Path of the Pixel Artist Tensei," and a detailed examination of the highlights, trajectory, and technical achievements of Tensei's design work. Special contributions include illustrations by Mr. Zakkin Hopu, Mr. Han, and Mr. Youto Sadamitsu, all long-time friends from the Gamest days.
This publication has a sister book that was released, which was more heavily focused on interviews.
