2. Auflage Commodore 64: a visual compendium feiert einen der beliebtesten Heimcomputer aller Zeiten und nimmt den Leser mit auf eine Reise durch die vielfältige und bunte Spielebibliothek des C64, beginnend im Jahr 1982 mit frühen Veröffentlichungen wie Jupiter Lander und Beach Head, und weiter durch die Jahrzehnte.

In den 1980er Jahren gab es eine ganze Reihe erstaunlicher C64-Titel: Dropzone, Impossible Mission, Elite, Mercenary, Uridium, The Last Ninja... Diese und andere Spiele repräsentierten eine unglaubliche Vielfalt an Genres, von Shoot 'em ups über Puzzlespiele, Rennspiele und Arcade-Adventures bis hin zu Spielen, die sich immer noch einer Kategorisierung entziehen - wie etwa The Sentinel.

In den 1990er Jahren brachten talentierte Programmierer die Maschine dazu, Dinge zu tun, die die ursprünglichen Hardware-Designer nicht für möglich gehalten hatten. Spiele wie Turrican, Creatures und Lemmings zeigten, dass noch Leben in der alten CPU steckte. Selbst als Commodore Pleite ging und der Computer nicht mehr hergestellt wurde, kamen die Spiele immer noch.

Dieses Buch ist nicht nur eine Hommage an die bahnbrechenden Spiele der offiziellen Lebensdauer des C64, sondern auch an die Entwickler, die das System am Leben hielten. Es enthält Spiele, die ein Jahrzehnt, nachdem der letzte C64 den Handel verlassen hatte, fertiggestellt und veröffentlicht wurden. Commodore 64: a visual compendium enthält weit über hundert Titel, die durch wunderschöne In-Game-Aufnahmen oder Ladebildschirme dargestellt werden, sowie eine Galerie mit Bildern des legendären Zzap!

64-Künstlers Oliver Frey. Außerdem gibt es eine Reihe von Features, darunter Profile wichtiger Britsoft-Entwickler, Interviews mit berühmten C64-Künstlern, einen Rückblick auf die Demo-Szene sowie eine Vorstellung unveröffentlichter Titel und neuer Spiele, die mehr als 20 Jahre, nachdem das letzte Gerät bei Commodore vom Band gelaufen ist, veröffentlicht wurden.

Durchgehend in Farbe, auf hochwertigem Papier gedruckt und mit einem Schutzumschlag mit Spotlackierung versehen, ist dieser einzigartige Titel ein Leckerbissen für alle, die mit diesem allgegenwärtigen Heimcomputer aufgewachsen sind und ihr Handwerk auf ihm gelernt haben.

Great Read!!! Great story!!!
Format: Kindle
The series is long, but Ms. Wolfhart does a fantastic job of weaving this tale while bringing so much to the characters. Surprises and plot twists along the way to keep you intrigued. There is some graphic sex, but is no way the focal point. Grammar was excellent (a rare find with a lot of self publishers) with only a few noted errors. I rarely give 4 stars, let alone 5.

Sadly, DNF
Format: Kindle
I read this thru KU. I LOVED the synopsis. And then I began reading... and it was a DNF at 68% after picking it up and putting it down several times because I really loved the main female character. *****SPOILERS***** Pros: The world is unique, intriguing and fun. The primary female character is bad-a** but not a b*tech or a mary sue. The primary female has depth. I really want to know what happens to her even tho it's been weeks and I don't remember her name. The villains to the point I read are pretty good -- an ever present threat of mysterious and possibly many culprits. Cons: Way, way too many points of view. I stopped counting at 7. It's the prime reason why I don't care about most of the characters or remember their names even when I like them. There's just too many points of view so almost none of the characters have enough book space for the author to properly develop them. This literally killed the book for me. Actually it killed my desire to read. For weeks. The main male is more villain than hero. He agreed to marry the main female then locks her up & eschews her for her sister, all while bad mouthing her as unfit to rule when he never spent any time with her getting to know her. He is actually unfit to rule as he is blind to the woes of his own kingdom and starts off a peace mission to secure a ceasefire through marriage by murdering an inn full of people in her country for no real reason. Plus, he constantly makes promises he does not keep. And it's gross of him to pine for the sister behind the main female's back. ***** As much as I really wanted to see what happened to the main female character, it wasn't enough for me to keep trying to slog thru this book. There was a lot of potential here that just fell short. Hence, 3 stars.

Fae Courts with High Intrigue
Format: Kindle
This book is one that just builds and builds and then surprises you to no end. You may think you know the villains and then you are jolted in another direction. Princess Reyna is a real gem, strong of character, a fierce fighter, and loyal to her family and kingdom. Just when you think she and Lorcan, well you know, the plot is flipped. Can't wait to see where this goes in book two.

Slow, sorry but good
Format: Kindle
This was a slow moving book. Lots of character pov chapters, lots of superfluous descriptions and endless courtly appearances stalled this book to start. Once you get into the heart of the story, it takes off. Before you know it the book is done. My favorite character is Reyna. She is so strong. She is true to herself. She gets into a lot of trouble with her headstrong ways but it's entertaining. I have high hopes for Lorcan. He is honorable to a fault. Thane had turned out to be better than I thought but i still don't like him. Eislin is useless. Great plot twists at the end. I'm looking forward too book 2.

Very detailed! Beautiful world building! Strong Heroine!
Format: Kindle
Starts off a little slow and confusing with different POV’s, but starts to all come together towards the middle to make an elaborate plot line and makes it all worth it. Beautiful world building and attention to detail as well as great writing. The cliffhanger was gut wrenching! Can’t wait for the next book!
