Drumming Up Support for a Video Game History Book.


Role-playing survival game is willing to take risks

Today I get to do some pitching for a project. Last week I was contacted by Rusel DeMaria, the author of High Score, a book that covers the history of the Games Industry. He is trying to get a third edition published. This will expand the book to cover the last decade of the industry and has a kickstarter up to hopefully get the money needed to get the book published.

One of the areas that I feel strongly about is the act of game preservation: preserving the history of the industry for future generations. It’s why I am a supporter of backwards compatibility on past consoles and sites like Good Old Games. Anything that can help preserve the history of the industry is a plus in my book.

Here’s the link to his kickstarter page, even if you can’t donate any money right now, if you could at least spread the word, any help would be great.
