Description

From George Cropper, the man behind the Funkyspectrum brand and site. Tired of endless retro books featuring content cribbed, shamelessly, from Wikipedia? Bored of po-faced, has-been, z-tier "e-celebs" attempting to squeeze the scene dry for a fast buck? Fed up with having to flick through page after page containing huge images with barely 2 lines of text on each spread telling you things you already know? Welcome to the Grimoire! A work of blinding satire and razor-sharp wit designed to strike at the heart of the stagnant, rotting emptiness that the "Gaming book" landscape has become. Join George and his colourful cohorts as they take you on a journey into a past that never was. Interviews, reviews, game tips and more, all about people, systems and IPs that have been completely fabricated for the sake of comedy and entertainment. You cannot read about anything in this book elsewhere, because it all exists only within these pages. This is something truly unique. It is the first book of its kind in the gaming sphere. A full-colour, premium A4 paperback annual that stands head and shoulders above the competition, this is George's Gaming Grimoire, featuring a foreword by Turkish-American and one-time NY Times "Darling", Jarett Kobek, author of "I Hate the Internet", "How to Find Zodiac", "Soft & Cuddly" and more. The book also contains contributions from Frank Allen, Jamie Ball, Larry Bundy Jr, Simon Butler, Graeme Cowie, Ethan Hansen, Borivoj Kobold, Ian Lightbody, Eric Martinez and Chris Parr. Many of these people don't exist, and those who do are only credited because they might have shot an irritated look in George's direction at some point. Previously released via Kickstarter as a hardback collectors edition that also featured the "CHILLER" graphic novel (not present here, but also now available as a standalone title on Amazon), this condensed version has been updated and generally rejigged for paperback format. Much has changed. Think of it as version 1.1 of the original (with bugfixes, potentially contentious nerfs and much-welcome buffs) If you missed out on the crowd-funded production run, are repulsed at having to lug around/hold a hardback book that weighs over a kilo or simply want to experience the original, critically lauded book in an evolved, updated and more slimline form - this is the version for you! What readers of the book have said: "George Cropper aka Funkyspectrum is a genius... A master of comedy... He should be running the comedy division of BBC or Channel 4... He's absolutely bl**dy hilarious" - Jarett Kobek, author, raconteur and bon vivant "F***ing genius" - Paul Andrews, Retro Games Limited "George, you’re a f***ing legend" - Graeme Cowie, Geezer Games "probably the highest quality gaming related book I’ve come across" - Mike, Yorkshire Amiga Group "amazing… laughed so hard... Brilliant!" - Jason Brooks, Comedian "Stunning read! ... Oh this is soo good ... You've spoiled us totally." - Chris Thacker, Fusion retro magazines "the gaming book of the year, I knew from the first page it was for me congrats George Cropper on this masterpiece" - Christian Van Tilburg, Retro Tech 100 "Outstanding... From the cover to the back page it's all superb... This really sets a high standard for others to follow" - Lee Price, Retro gaming aficionado
