A book all about Atari ST demos

Democyclopedia - The Book!

There is a brand new book in the works all about the Atari ST demoscene and it's written by ST Survivor (aka STS) who I'm sure you will remember being interviewed a few years back? This book is based on his blog which alphabetically documents more ST demos than you could shake a stick at. The French book was released last year and when I recently heard that the English version was finally available to pre-order... Yeah, you know that I just had to have it!

The book is hardback of a beefy A4 size which I'm very happy about - gotta be big to exhibit the beauty of the ST demoscene! The release date is May and published by Cote Gamers (they of Iceblox Plus and Toogle and other goodies).

A few words from the man himself

"My love for ATARI ST demos started a long time ago in 1994 or so. Back then I joined a democrew called NLC first as the main editor of the Frenck ToXiC MaG and then as a pixel artist. Around 2015 I started writing a blog called Democyclopedia that is dedicated to ATARI ST demos. I decided to sort all effects alphabetically as well as I added my own favourite demos, a tribute to all pixel artists and some personal articles.

As I reached more than 150 articles and thought this was the end of it, a friend suggested I should turn my work into a hardcover book, this is how I came to work with publisher CotÈ Gamers. The 250-page French edition was released last summer and it was indeed more successful than I expected! We are now working on delivering the English edition within the next months but preorders are already open, so go for it! -STS"
