This site hopes In the Shadow of the CPC is a tribute book entirely devoted to evolve into an encyclopaedia on all things [[Amstrad]] [[CPC]] relatedgames. Through a careful selection of iconic titles, this project traces the history, creativity and soul of a machine that had a profound impact on European video games, particularly in France. Feel free to [[contribute]]!
'''The first coffee table Amstrad CPC book!''' Richly illustrated, the book combines screenshots, anecdotes and interviews to bring back to life an era when a few kilobytes were enough to spark the imagination. It is aimed at both gamers of the time and those curious to discover an essential part of video game history. This project is above all a labour of love and a means of passing on knowledge, with the aim of preserving the memory of the CPC and paying tribute to the developers and gamers who brought this unique machine to life. By supporting this book, you are helping to revive a gaming heritage that is too often overlooked — and give it the place it deserves. '''Live now on [https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/editions64k/in-the-shadow-of-the-cpc Kickstarter]!</div><br><div style=== "border: 1px solid rgb(255, 201, 201); margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding: 0.5em 1em; background-color: rgb(255, 243, 243);"><center> '''CPC Related News and updates ==''' </center> <!-- 8 last news only, see http://www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php/OldNews --> <div style="overflow:auto; border: 0px solid #FFC9C9"> *[[Hardware_scrollingFile:Dez80_intro.png|thumb|256px|[http://www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php/DEZ80 Mastering Z80 Assembler Course]] added, typed by the Executioner. ] *03/05/26: '''[[User:Gryzor|GryzorFutureOS]] 092026''' Spring Edition released!
