The digital version of the official Rob Hubbard softography titled Master of Magic is now out and available for purchase at C64Audio.com. Preorders for the hardback version can also be submitted at this time. The book has 350 pages designed to feel like a classic video game magazine, with content also generously contributed by Rob himself. It is also accompanied by a 120 GB large media gallery of videos, recordings, source code, orchestrations and more, all featuring Rob Hubbard's music. But it’s not just Rob’s story. It’s a compelling and historically important look behind the scenes of ‘80s and ’90s Western gaming.
