Once again, Klas Benjaminsson made a wonderful book. The pictures selected for this book covers a wide range of style and shows to everyone what are the 8-bit machines really capable in terms of graphics (and I am pretty sure, you could not imagine that these machines were capable of that). After reading it, I asked myself if shouldn’t try to push some pixels too.
The quality is as high as the first one, if not higher. If you have the first book and you liked it, I advice you to buy this one too. If you don’t have the first one and you love pixel art, buy both!
