Greetings
I’m a researcher of video game history and author of a few books about this subject, like Through the Moongate: The story of Richard Garriott, Origin Systems Inc and Ultima. I subscribed to this forum because I was looking for a discussione about The Sumerian Game. Incidentally, I’m also the researcher who rebuilt the game (that was lost in 70s) and released it on Steam for free.
I would like to inform you that I just launched a kickstarter to fund the translation and publishing of my 2 new books:
- Video Game Stage 2: From 1980 until 1984 (second book in the series, about general history of video games: mainframe,console, arcades, computer and handheld)
- The Sumerian Game a Digital Resurrection (a book about the history of this game, how it was designed and programmed, how it worked, the biographies of those who were involved in the project, how I rebuilt it and lots lots of new pictures and data)

In this KS you can also get previous books with a little discount, ebook, softcover and hardcover. There are still some Big Box edition of The Sumerian Game, for Apple II, Commodore 64 and (that’s a news!) for PC. Yeah I recently rebuild the game that was lost in the 70s and released for free on Steam. But you can get the Collectors numbered and limited box.I hope you’ll like my project.
For any questions please feel free to ask.
