I live for these art books, so imagine my surprise when Midway shuffled a press release my way aboutThe Art of Midway: Before Pixels and Polygons.
Published by Design Studio Press, the 160 page book features over 200 concept and environment illustrations from Midway titles likePsi-Ops,Mortal Kombat,The Suffering, andStranglehold. While it’s disappointing there’s no mention of an entire section called “The Art of Smash TV: Big Money, Big Prizes I Love It,” I’ll take what I can get.
The book is available online now and at select bookstores.
