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 Volume 1 focuses on Capcom, a premier publisher of the original PlayStation. Looking through 46 different games over the course of hundreds of pages, you can chronologically see the evolution of Capcom’s extraordinary output on that famous gray box. Bonus essays are provided by Jason Dvorak from Game-Rave.com, John Linneman from Digital Foundry & DF Retro, and more.


Limited physical copies were produced through a wildly successful Kickstarter campaign, and the book is always available digitally directly through this page. A revised trade-sized softcover and hardcover are available through Amazon, as well. See below for a purchase link.
