32 Bit Library is a retro gaming book series for nostalgic gamers. Each volume is a curated retrospective of games from the original PlayStation library. Each game covered has a written entry discussing key details and information, not a generic review, and details on what made each title unique. Many screenshots from each game highlight moments and refresh readers on these classic titles. Bonus entries from industry professionals add extra content to each volume. Select games covered have additional retrospectives written from personal accounts of backers during the funding campaign for the limited special edition print runs. The goal is to have an archive of the PlayStation catalog organized chronologically and focused on a specific publisher or genre with each volume.

32 Bit Library Greatest Hits Volume 1 focuses on 50 of the best-selling titles released under the GREATEST HITS label. This was a program Sony had for games that met certain sales thresholds and were reprinted at an even lower price point. This curated collection takes a look at games that wouldn’t usually end up in a 32 Bit Library book, which have focused on specific publishers previously. Looking through 50+ different games over the course of 344 pages, you can chronologically see the evolution of these games on the PSX. Some industry friends and collaborators provide bonus essays.
