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 Vol 3 focuses on Konami, a significant publisher for the original PlayStation. Looking back at all 50+ games over the course of 352 pages, you can chronologically see the evolution of Konami's output on that famous gray box.
Bonus essays are provided by Jason Dvorak from Game-Rave.com, John Linneman from Digital Foundry and DF Retro, Kurt Kalata from HG101 and many other retro gaming books and Audi Sorlie from Limited Run Games and Digital Foundry.
