yeah, I dunno. All I know is as a buyer of the book, which I love, I'd still love to have a color version
I didn't get any PM from you (??)

I bought the book and I think it's excellent, I heartily recommend it. But as for a color pdf version I think it is a bit superfluous considering all you have to do is google the net for screenshots.

My copy arrived today, and it is SPECTACULAR. This is the closest most of us will ever come to playing many, many of these games. It is a critique and a museum at the same time. Congratulations, Kurt.

Amazon put this on sale recently, not sure if it's a temporary drop or permanent (I don't decide when/if these things happen), but it's down to $19.44 for a physical copy: http://amzn.to/lBU0Fj Kindle copies are still $9.99 too: http://amzn.to/jgtATg Also put up a more coherent page on the main site: http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/book.html It's been reviewed by Richard Cobbett and Luke Plunkett of Kotaku too: http://www.richardcobbett.com/journa...dventures-101/ (link currently down ATM, but it does exist!) http://kotaku.com/5812027/the-great-...dventure-games Last edited by discoalucard; 06-26-2011 at 02:52 PM. |

This book is fantastic. As I looked over the list on the website, I was disappointed to not see certain games on it (Conquest of the Longbow, Blue Cheese.. er Blue Force, Manhunter), but a lot of these games are indeed reviewed.
Discovering and playing obscure point and click adventure games is my passion, and this book is the best companion I could possibly ask for. Are there any plans set for future books? Perhaps.. a horror game companion? Last edited by PointyClickyPerson; 07-01-2011 at 08:51 AM. |

Next up is a book focusing on Konami, so it's more on console and arcade games than computer stuff.
One of my writers did express interest in writing a book about horror games. Of course, then we drafted together a list of everything that could legitimate termed a horror game and it ended up being massive, so we would certainly have our work cut out for us! |

Although I'll probably import it anyway - will your book be coming to UK stores?
