It’s finally here! I present you our fifth release, the 450-page preview of the CRPG Book!

DOWNLOAD IT HERE: CRPG Book Preview 5

This will be the last “alpha preview”, as the book is very close to be completed. The big updates here are the computer history timeline, which is finally completed, and the addition of hyperlinks and .pdf bookmarks – perhaps our most requested feature.

I’ve also added new articles on the history of JRPGs, difference between ports, cancelled RPGs and a FAQ to beginners. Plus dozens of new reviews – Dwarf Fortress, Mass Effect 3, Pillars of Eternity, Ultima VII, Wizardry VII, Planescape: Torment and many more…

Sadly, the pace of new review in the past months has been extremely slow, so if you’re interested in writing a review for the CRPG Book, please do so! We could use the help!

In other news, if you somehow missed it I’ve created a Flickr account in December to hold screenshots taken while creating the book – as well as some from the CRPG Addict. It currently holds over 18,000 images in .png, neatly organized in albums:

Feel free to use them as you like, and if there’s any screenshots of your own you would like to submit to the gallery, just e-mail them to me. Cheers!
