@kalloway Thanks for sharing! So there are actually 3 separate books.

The first two had both Korean and English text:

1. Oxide: The Art of Genesis
2. Oxide 2 Carta Numinous - Kim Hyung-Tae: The Second Works

And this latest one was a Japanese publication which collected illustrations from both previous volumes, and added some new stuff.

3. Oxide 2X: Kim Hyung-Tae Art Book

You can find details on all of them here:

One of my favourite GAME BOY books I own❗️

"GAME BOY: The Box Art Collection" is a wonderful celebration of some of the finest cover artwork for this monochrome marvel!

@trabex Is it a series that I should start with the first entry?

As I return to Mastodon, I realize that I have no idea who is here, or who I should be following. Any recommendations for people y'all think I need to pay attention to?

thevglibrary, 24 days ago

@Dennis5891 @niclake Thank you so much!! Really appreciate you spreading the word about the project! 🙏

@TinyHousekeep The one on the right is the Manga :) The one on the left is actually a Choose Your Own Adventure-style novel.

@Judeau The "read the book" link has now been fixed!

@thevglibrary I'm finding myself in a Civilization mood and I would love to read "Civilization or Rome on 640K a Day" but unlike many of Prima's books I can't find a trace of it online, even physical copies are scarce on the usual second hand sites.

Do you have an idea where I could find it digitally or physically (preferably from within Europe)?

thevglibrary, 1 month ago

@loadhigh Here it is 😊

Did you get yours yet?

thevglibrary, 1 month ago

@loadhigh Grabbed a few more while I was at it:

@loadhigh That looks great! Congrats on that addition to your bookshelf!

Mario is an absolute mushroom fiend in this book. 🍄

Every page is either him with a fistful of shrooms; or completely miserable without them...

@lunarloony Don't blame you for thinking so, haha.

Just your everyday Fire Flower according to the book. Frying that Koopa Troopa flesh :D
