Designing Arcade Computer Game Graphics

Over a decade ago I discovered that the PDF version of Designing Arcade Computer Game Graphics by Ari Feldman was freely available on the Internet. I remember posting links to the book on a lot of forums that I visited back then. If you download the zipped PDF from the above link you'll find the book has been distributed as 16 separate chapters, I've used Ashampoo PDF Pro 2 to combine the chapters into one complete file which you can download here. Ari Feldman also created a sprite library which is freely available from here.

Windows XP Calibri Font

I used to use Vista & created a PDF from a document in OpenOffice, recently I started using XP again & went through the same process but when I opened the PDF I discovered that the fonts weren't correct. After some searching I discovered that Calibri isn't installed on XP but if you install PowerPoint Viewer 2007 the font & some others will be installed so the problem is solved.

The entire book can be downloaded from here. I advice that you use a download manager such as FDM because you have to download more than 70 chapters. You should also download the Gios PDF splitter & merger, it's 100% free & can combine all the separate chapters into one book.
