Bitmap Books Run 'n' Gun: A History of On-Foot Shooters - Bücher
Step into a world of nostalgic bullet hell with Run 'n' Gun: A History of On-Foot Shooters, written by award-winning video game journalist and comic book author Dave Cook. This new release follows Cook’s previous project with Bitmap Books, Go Straight: The Ultimate Guide to Side-Scrolling Beat 'Em Ups, and charts 40 years of run ’n’ gun history across 496 stunning pages.
The book opens with guest forewords by Mega Man’s legendary producer, Keiji Inafune, and Cuphead creators Chad and Jared Moldenhauer. Our explosive journey begins with 1975’s Gun Fight and the birth of the run ’n’ gun genre, then marches forward through the decades. With over 300 games featured, you’ll discover incredible behind-the-scenes stories, interesting quotes, mind-blowing trivia, expert gameplay tips, and beautiful high-quality screenshots.
All the classics are here, including Contra, Gunstar Heroes, Metal Slug, Mega Man, Sunset Riders, Midnight Resistance, and Turrican, as well as some hidden gems you might not have tried before, such as Demon Front, Nitro Ball, and Rapid Reload. As the years progress, you’ll become more familiar with modern shooters like Cuphead, Blazing Chrome, Huntdown, and Gunvolt.
Featuring contributions from Chris Scullion, Kurt Kalata, Sega Lord X, and Graeme Mason, Run 'n' Gun: A History of On-Foot Shooters is an action-packed celebration of the genre. Whether you’re new to shooters or gearing up to use your Spread Gun for the first time, this is the perfect reference guide.
Run ’n’ Gun: A History of On-Foot Shooters is lithographically printed to the highest standards. This ensures the colors in the book are vibrant and that the pages have a high-quality, luxurious feel. As standard, each book is offered in hardcover with spot-varnished artwork by artist Jorge M. Velez.
