I'm loving this cover art for this new book about the early years of the Spanish Video Game Industry.

In Cinco Duros, Diego Vargas compiles firsthand accounts from key figures at pioneering companies like Dinamic, Erbe and Topo.

The image is the cover of a book titled "Cinco Duros: La historia del videojuego en España para todos 1981-1987 Vol.1" by Diego Vargas Pardo. The artwork is colorful and dynamic, featuring a collection of characters that appear to be from different video game genres and eras. The characters are drawn in a comic book style, with a fantasy warrior, a wizard, a basketball player, and other figures that suggest a diverse range of gaming themes. In the background, there are floating geometric shapes and a pixellated cursor hand, alluding to classic gaming icons. The title "Cinco Duros," which is a reference the cost of playing an arcade game in Spain, as "duro" is an old Spanish five-peseta coin, invoking nostalgia for the early days of arcade gaming. The cover indicates that the book is a historical account of the video game industry in Spain during the years 1981 to 1987, aiming to be accessible to a wide audience.

    Bloody hell, this is awful - who would have guessed that US studios live in the past and don't pay in the present? I suppose this actor could endorse the cheques to his American agent and the agent could cash them and pay him https://www.irishtimes.com/your-money/2024/05/30/the-sad-story-of-the-actor-with-a-drawer-full-of-cheques-he-just-cant-cash/

    Why the US hasn't sent humans to Mars yet - Business Insider

    It was supposed to happen in the 1980s. Hopefully I’ll be able to watch the first landing with my grandkids.
