Treasure Chest!
A treasure trove of artwork, advertising, production information and more. I grew up with these games and always enjoyed some of the best artwork created for video games. There's also a lot of production information in this book and prototypes for consoles I've never seen before.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
