Attack of the Flickering Skeletons

More Terrible Old Games You've Probably Never Heard Of

Well blimey
Hello!
So... that went pretty well! We hit 100% of the funding goal within 24 hours of launch which is rather lovely, and the total is currently sitting around 169% less than a week in. Clearly there is still an appetite for pointing and lauching at rubbishy old games.
Massive thanks to all of you for supporting the book. I'm currently co-ordinating with the guest writers, and traumatising them by forcing them to recollect their most cash-wasting game purchases. But at least they're not having to play the Commodore 64 version of Cisco Heat like I am...
Thanks again,
Stuart.

Hello Dr. Ashens!
I can't wait for the sequel :)
Thanks for taking the time to write it and enduring the suffering of playing terrible games so we don't have to!
Really looking forward to the book,
Hope you're doing well!

I actually played Cisco Heat on the C=64. You have my sympathies.

I had no doubt that the book would be funded. Looking forward to it!

Thanks for doing a follow up book Stewart, I love all things bad not just games, I love bad films too, you should do a "terrible old films you have never heard of" as your 3rd book!

Oh God, IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN
(No seriously, I'm so glad you're writing another book, because the first one really was fantastic :))

I think Michael is onto something... Terrible Old Movies You've Probably Never Heard Of featuring the Godmonster!

Read the first book and can't wait to read the next one. For some reason I have this weird interest in unknown, bad, bargain bin games.

I'm looking forward to it! P.S. Give Kane a try on the C64, You'll regret it!

Challenge: somehow fit in a meta-reference to your youtube channel for the f**king inflatable f**king crown! I dunno, even just a wee sneaky illustration of it or something ;)

Pah Inflatable Crowns, back in the day it was Pop Stations

Excited for this Ashens! First time pledging for a book. It's worth it.

According to Chambers 'lauching' is a Scots form of laughing!!

I backed the first book knowing full well most of the games in it have probably not, if ever, even appeared in America. I did it for the authentic Ashens style. British comedy is my favorite and I have no qualms about doing it again.
