Greetings gamers!

Welcome to our Megafounder page to continue funding the production of Player One: An Illustrated History of Game Controllers Vol.1, the first in a three-part series of books detailing the history of joysticks and game controllers.

Player One: An Illustrated History of Game Controllers Vol.1 begins our journey way back in 1972 starting with the Magnavox Odyssey controller that is oft heralded as the grandfather of modern game controllers, through the joystick boom of the early '80s, to the emergence of game pads as the dominant force by the late '80s.

STRETCH GOALS!

If we reach a total funding level of $33,000 AUD we will be able to fund planned upgrades to all pledge levels. To help us get there we have added a few steps along the way. First up at $15,000 AUD is the addition of slipcases to our hardcover rewards at Levels Three and Five. At $20,000, the Level Five Hardcover gets another fantastic upgrade...

The team behind the recently successful KS campaign has launched this on Megafounder for ongoing funding to help improve the quality of this book.

For those not familiar with Megafounder, this is from their site:

"Megafounder is the funding platform where Kickstarter creators take their products to the next level with support from the community.

Funding is based on stretch goals. Projects reach consecutive milestone funding goals to unlock new features and benefits for backers.

No deadlines. Creators raise funds along the time (ongoing funding) for multiple purposes – build new features, fund inventory, improve cash-flow, etc.

Megafounder is only for proven concepts and ready-to-market products. Unlike other fundraising services that provide start-up funds for new ideas, Megafounder is for established projects and companies."
