0106 Bitmap Books Founder Sam Dyer

You know Bitmap Books as the purveyor of fine tomes of video game history. Bitmap Books has been a great partner for C3, but more importantly they have documented significant video game history ranging from The Atari and the Commodore 64 all the way up to today. Most recently they released The Games of a Lifetime by Julian "Jaz" Rignall. We chat about the history of Bitmap Books as well as upcoming projects for the year. Beyond that we talk about three games from Sam's personal history to tie the whole thing together: Sensible Soccer, The Secret of Monkey Island, and Cannon Fodder.
