I just got it!Big,fat,beautiful! Don’t know if you guys heard of it,I randomly found out about it on the net and since it’s not out in Greece I had a friend of mine order it for me from Amazon for about…29 Euros.But it’s worth it! Grin

It’s about 700 pages big,but the pages are black and white.

I took some pics for you:

Check out the site it talks about the book and which games it features:

Seems awesome - except for the fact that the pictures are black and white. That alone makes it a “not buy” for me personally. I want it to be both interesting to read and nice to look at.

Maybe Advie was more successful than Larry and got someone to his bedroom, and the lucky(?) s/he used the opportunity to take a snapshot. :p

This book is both. And if you want, and who would not,  look up a certain screenshot in all its color splendour you can do that for free on the internet. This service is free, provided by publisher and author Kalata.

Well I think the guys in the site said that if it was colored it would have had to be split into 2 parts(two books)and cost like…50-60 dollars per book.

I’d have no problem with that, personally. But I can understand why a lot of people would have.

I’d also much rather have it as 3 or 4 smaller books than one gigantic brick. The complaining never ends with me, I guess Tongue

Well, the last time I’ve checked I was in front of my PC! Crazy Crazy Crazy
I’m hope you enjoy MI2!
I’m guessing you liked Flight of the Amazon queen, because it has a lot of those jungle scenes, you like. Smile
