Gaming Bookazine Retro Gamer Presents: The Ultimate Platformer Handbook First Edition Retour à l'édition précédente

Try to take a snapshot of the picture in your mind when you think of the word, ‘videogame’. We can imagine many of you conjured a side-on image featuring a hero character, a sprinkling of enemies, collectable coins, and a bunch of ledges and pathways suspended in the air.
Nothing says video gaming like a good old platformer. From Donkey Kong, Pitfall and Manic Miner to Super Mario, Sonic and Crash Bandicoot, this genre is home to many people’s favourite games. And for a good reason: they’re easy to pick up and difficult to master, a magic combo for a compelling experience that’s difficult to tear yourself away from. In this special edition from the makers of Retro Gamer, get ready to leap through history as we hop, skip and jump through the story of the platformer. We’ll explore how the genre evolved, explore defining games and spotlight some modern classics you’ll be sure to enjoy.
Lace up your boots, and maybe attach some springs. Let’s jump in!
