Inhaltsangabe

PC Engine: The Box Art Collection celebrates the diversity, vibrancy, sophistication, and personality seen across the covers of the best and most interesting Japanese releases for NEC's undersized powerhouse of a console.

The PC Engine was more than just a games console. It was part of a movement in the late-1980s that saw a bold new aesthetic emerge in Japan that would soon spread across the globe, shaping art, design, and creativity everywhere it went. As the country’s games, movies, music, design, and fashion influenced one another, the brilliant box art of the PC Engine’s remarkable library capably captured the spread of artistic approaches and styles that made up the movement.

At 372 pages in length, PC Engine: The Box Art Collection includes more than 300 professionally shot pieces of box art, along with carefully reproduced screenshots – all presented with Bitmap Book’s design-led approach. Featuring games such as?Adventure Island,?Darius Plus,?Bomberman ‘93,?YS I?&?II,?Soldier Blade,?PC Denjin,?Akumajo Dracula X: Chi no Rondo,?Devil Crash, and?Street Fighter II: Champion Edition.
