Solidarity with my fellow games-and-politics scholars who will have to play these racist slop games because they represent some kind of landmark in the form.

Did you know? APWOT originally started as a student zine all the way back in 2014! 👀 The original self made publication used a limited colour palette, came in two sizes, was about 20 pages and was made in just under 2 weeks. We've come a long way to having Astro Bot and Playstation on the cover! 🤖

APWOT is generally some of the best games-related publications you can get. Absolutely worth it, incredible writing and art, and after being the coffee table book for some time, they're so pretty that they retire to a place of honour in my book cabinet for future reference.
