The image is the cover of a book titled "STARCRAFT: Legacy of the Real-Time Strategy" by Simon Dor. The cover features a dark, moody photograph of a computer screen displaying the game "StarCraft," a highly popular real-time strategy (RTS) game developed by Blizzard Entertainment. The screen shows gameplay elements characteristic of StarCraft, such as the interface and in-game units, emphasizing the strategic and tactical nature of the game. The title is prominently displayed at the top in bold white text, with the subtitle "Legacy of the Real-Time Strategy" in a green font just below it, highlighting the book's focus on the impact and significance of StarCraft within the RTS genre. The image of the keyboard and the computer screen creates a nostalgic feel, likely aiming to resonate with long-time fans of the game and the era in which it was first released. The presence of the soda can hints at the immersive and time-consuming nature of playing and mastering StarCraft.

    @bookstodon

    The image shows the cover of "N+1," which is described as a bike/game zine. The cover features a minimalist design with a pastel pink background and an illustration of a duck riding a bicycle. The duck is depicted in mid-air, suggesting motion, and there is a shadow cast below the bicycle, giving the impression of the bicycle being airborne. The title "N+1" is prominently displayed at the top in bold red letters, following the mathematical expression "n+1," which often represents a concept of always being able to have one more of something, commonly used in the context of cyclists and their desire for an additional bicycle. Below the illustration, the cover credits "Bike expertise by Hannah Nicklin" and "Bikes from games played by Pat Ashe," indicating that the zine likely contains content related to bicycles within the context of video games, possibly exploring the mechanics, representation, and experiences of cycling in gaming.

    @bookstodon

    The image is a cover or promotional graphic celebrating the 40th anniversary (1984-2024) of Dinamic, which is described as "La primera compañía española de videojuegos," translating to "The first Spanish video game company." The cover features a montage of characters and themes from various video games, reflecting the diversity of titles and genres that Dinamic may have been involved with throughout its history. At the center of the image is the logo for Dinamic, with the number "40º Aniversario" prominently displayed above it, indicating the milestone celebration. Surrounding the logo are various characters and scenes: a gladiator, a blonde woman with futuristic attire and a weapon, a man who seems to be an adventurer with a whip, a soldier or SWAT member, an arcade machine, a motorcyclist, and a basketball player, among others. These images likely represent different video games or genres that Dinamic has produced or published.

    Admittedly I haven't played much of , and the geo-specific naming conventions make my head spin.

    That said - "Monsters in the Dark" is a book that's high on my list to read this year.

    It chronicles the legendary journey of Julian Gollop and the creation of X-COM.

    @bookstodon

    The image is the cover of a book titled "MONSTERS in the DARK: The Making of X-COM: UFO Defense" by David L. Craddock with a foreword by Davide Soliani, Creative Director of "Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle." The cover art is atmospheric and depicts a scene of a human figure in a defensive stance with a firearm, facing off against several alien creatures under a night sky. Above the scene, the title "MONSTERS in the DARK" is displayed in large, bold lettering, emphasizing the theme of extraterrestrial threats lurking in the unknown, which is a central element in the game "X-COM: UFO Defense." This suggests that the book provides a detailed account of the development and creation of the classic strategy video game.

Final Fight," indicating a crossover between two popular fighting game franchises, "Street Fighter" and "Final Fight." The artwork features intense close-up depictions of two characters, likely representing the protagonists or significant characters from each franchise, engaged in a fierce battle, as seen by their clashing fists that are emitting a burst of energy. Below this central image, there are additional characters from both game series depicted in fighting stances, suggesting that more characters from each franchise will be involved in the story. Ryu, a well-known character from "Street Fighter," is shown on the left, and Cody, recognizable from "Final Fight," is on the right. A female character, who could be Chun-Li from "Street Fighter," is also featured in the background.
