During my travels I came across this on Twitter and looked a lot deeper into the project. I must say it looks absolutely amazing.

I am definitely supporting it.

Yes Tim is doing a fine job with this project and should be wonderful to see in book form, if you love your arcades you have to have this :)

I am very interested in this but I didn't quite get what the theme of the book is. I mean, yeah, great arcade artwork and for that alone I will support it but, as a book, I expect some information to supplement the artwork. I hope that will be the case and will look for it when published. Alas, he is a little way off the £10 000 he needs but nothing ventured, nothing gained so I've pledged 8)
For the record, Alien verses Predator on the Atari Jaguar holds a Guinness World Record!

Well he has over half the money already and still 16 days to go.

Should achieve it.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I think it is a very worthy project. Hence I have pledged and would have happily made it a £1000 if I had that kind of money. I don't know how fast these kickstarter projects get off the ground and as we are already in October, I felt he had some way to go. Of course, it is all about drumming up interest and getting the word out there and I wish him every success in his pursuit.

Well, TBH I absolutely loved the canvas art he produces and though I only half listened to him as I was scrolling, I was hooked when I heard him mention the Atari 2600 and I saw the Crystal Castles canvas :108:

This looks very interesting.  I'll have to read some more about it but I'm interested.  :)

Some of us are not so affluent and will have to make do with the PDF or wear a raincoat and read it in the book shop when it is in print ;)

Well, it first has to make it to goal before anyone gets to read it in PDF or hardcover book.  :)  It still has some £2000 to go before that happens.  12 days to go.
