Andrew Fisher's The Commodore 64 Book - 1982 to 199x covers over two hundred of the best games for the Commodore 64. Over two hundred classic games are covered in this book by Andrew Fisher, former writer for Commodore Force and Commodore Format and regular contributor to Retro Gamer. Introduced with a foreword by gaming industry legend Jeff Minter, this is a nostalgic and detailed look back at the rapid changes in gaming and how the Commodore 64 evolved. The book is split into chapters covering the years 1982 to 1992 - the commercially successful years for the machine. The final chapter covers the years from 1993 onwards, the end of the commercial era and some of the notable homebrew games that have followed. Each chapter is introduced with a short history of what was happening to Commodore and the games industry. The chapters are colour-coded and marked by the margin characters; each year has sprites/characters from a game published in that year. For each game there is a full page review with multiple screenshots and a scan of the game's cover. The games chosen represent some of the best titles the C64 has to offer, including well-known names like Impossible Mission, The Last Ninja and Armalyte. There are also one or two less well-known games, chosen by the author as personal favourites to bring them to a wider audience. The media (tape, disk or cartridge) each game was released in is shown, along with review scores and a quote from leading European magazines of the time including ZZAP! 64 and Commodore User. The reviews are split into three main parts. First comes the actual review section, describing the author s opinions of the game. The second section gives anecdotes and trivia about its creation and the people that made it. Notable sequels, conversions and similar games are also discussed. The final section gives the plot of the game and talks about the actual gameplay. The games are listed by year in the contents, with an index at the back providing quick access to favourite games. This is a follow-up to Andrew Rollings' The ZX Spectrum Book - 1982 to 199x and is the second of the Golden Years series. A year in the making, it is essential reading for any Commodore 64 fan and a great coffee table book for all gamers.

By Andrew Fisher • Introduction by Alex Abou-Chebl, M.D. • Paperback • 5.5 x 8.5 • 128 pages Strokes are only supposed to happen to older people — or so Andrew Fisher thought. At 35, Andrew owned two businesses and was engaged, raising his twin toddler sons. But his American Dream was shattered in March 2009 when he was suddenly stricken by a major stroke. This catastrophic illness devastated his health, leaving emotional scars and financial ruin in its wake. But thanks to an innovative neurologist at the University of Louisville Hospital, Andrew survived, making an amazing recovery. Forever thankful for a second chance at life, Andrew is giving back as an advocate for stroke survivors and their families. He fervently believes that everyone needs to know a stroke's signs, symptoms and risk factors. His story is riveting and alarming, yet uplifting and hopeful. A stroke can strike at any age, but it can be defeated if treated early. Andrew Fisher is living proof of that.
