CRPG Book Project
preview 2-1
by Felipe Pepe


The CRPG Book Project is a collaborative, non-profit effort to create a book on the history of Computer Role-Playing Games.

Our goal is to gather all the knowledge currently spread across countless websites, books, forums and minds in a single, accessible and visually pleasing tome – for free.
We share the Internet Archive’s belief that “access drives preservation”, so we want to demystify gaming history, offering a reliable and attractive resource for people seeking information – or just a fun game to play.

For this we are reviewing over 300 games from 1975 to 2015, while also providing articles on the genre, mod suggestions and hints on how to run games on modern hardware.

When completed, the book will offer:
*Over 300 games being reviewed through about 480 pages.
*Comprehensive chronological listing, from 70’s mainframe games, such as Avatar and dnd, to the latest releases.
*Longer and passionately written reviews, accompanied by big screenshots, developer quotes, curiosities and recommended mods.
*In-depth articles about the genre, the changes through the decades, fan-translations and related genres, such as MMORPG’s and MUDs.
*100% free, downloadable as a cute pdf, with bookmarks, hyper-links and all that.
*Planned to be also available as a paperback, sold at cost price.
