Product Description
by Daryl Baxter (Other), Daryl Baxter (Author)
A retrospective on iconic video game bosses, featuring interviews and insights from developers spanning five decades of gaming history.
Boss Fights celebrates a fading art in modern games. Author Daryl Baxter has written about 51 bosses that have made the greatest impact, ever since the first boss debuted in 1974.
Full of interviews and insights from the developers who helped made the bosses as memorable as they are, includes those who have worked on Mario 64, DOOM, Bioshock, Star Wars, Half Life and many more. Some explained how they came to be, what was scrapped, and, ultimately, if they were happy with them, looking back.
The book goes into detail about the first ever boss from the start, called the Golden Dragon in dnd, which first debuted in 1974. Heralded as the first ever boss in a video game, Daryl spoke to its creators about how it came to be, and how they feel about creating a standard in games.
The book sheds light on what was scrapped in other bosses, and how some bosses were so illegal, they had to be updated in rapid fashion to avoid a potential lawsuit.
Full of photos that showcase how the bosses work and how to beat them, it's a 50-year record of the best, the most challenging, and the most memorable that you may or may not have beaten so far.
It's 70,000 words that celebrate the past 50 years of bosses, while giving insight by the developers who helped make them possible.
