Both our HG101 Digest Vol. 6: Namco Arcade Classics and Épopée – Tales from French Game Developers books from last year is available in the latest Storybundle! The former includes deep dives into golden age classics Dig Dug and Mappy, as well as many of Namco’s lesser known (though still classic) titles like The Genji and the Heike Clans, Bravoman, and Wonder Momo, while the latter has numerous exclusives interviews with key developers from the 1980s and 1990s European development scene, as well as a thorough primer for those unfamiliar with the topic.

Also included are several other fantastic video game themed books, detailed in the official blow post below!

Whether rain or shine, this summer’s Exclusive Retro Game Bundle at www.storybundle.com offers nearly a dozen eBooks about video game development and culture to keep your mind busy and make your thumbs itch—including six exclusives you won’t find anywhere else. A portion of this DRM-free bundle will be donated to the World Health Organization (WHO) as it continues to bring relief to people around the world affected by Covid-19.

Author and game designer John Harris wrote The Black Book of Animal Crossing New Horizons: An Unofficial Guide for Players to help you get the better of Tom Nook. Author Brock Wilbur and Boss Fight Books regale you with the tumultuous development story of Postal.

Historian, professor, and Matt Chat host Matt Barton delves deep into the history of roleplaying games in Dungeons & Desktops, and introduces you to legendary game developers from the “Father of Video Games” Ralph Baer to Rebecca “Burger Becky” Heineman in Honoring the Code—both available as DRM-free epub and mobi books for the first time, exclusively in this bundle.

All that, plus loads more interviews with game developers past and present, Stay Awhile and Listen author David L. Craddock’s diary-style writeups of playing early platformers, over 150 pages of video game trivia, and more.
