Limited Run Games Announces ‘Press Run’ Book Publishing Imprint Led by Former Games Journalists, Jeremy Parish and Jared Petty

Press Run, the new book publishing imprint was announced. Press Run will publish new, high-quality books on video games and game-adjacent topics monthly. Designed from the ground up as an exclusive print label for both original publications from the Limited Run Games team and talented authors around the world, Press Run aims to publish good reads for gamers looking for more than the usual latest-release discourse. 

Press Run will uphold the gold standard that Limited Run Games is known for with their physical products. Additionally, some books will be produced and made available as limited collector’s editions, while the basic editions of every published book will continue to circulate for as long as demand exists, providing the treatment, legacy, and preservation Press Run editors and Limited Run Games staff feel these works deserve.

Details and a listing of available books can be found in a recent blog written by Jeremy Parish here

Did You Know Limited Run Games is a Developer, Too?

Thanks to the Carbon Engine, an emulation and development tool created by Limited Run Games engineers, legacy content from rare and classic titles can be easily ported to modern platforms. Now, beloved retro releases can find a second life on all-new console hardware. More and more games are being developed with the Carbon Engine such as Bill & Ted’s Excellent Retro Collection, Rendering Ranger R-2, A Boy and His Blob Retro Collection, and Shantae for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. These upcoming games join River City Girls Zero and the original Shantae in the highly coveted and ever-growing catalog of revitalized retro classics now available on modern platforms. Find out more about the Carbon Engine and how it helped improve accessibility for rare titles, like River City Girls Zero and Shantae here

If you would like to learn more from the development team working on the Carbon Engine, let us know and we’ll be happy to schedule some time for you with the team.
