Demoscene book on Indigogo

Post by Higgy »

Hi,

I've seen there is a cool book currently looking for funds, its about the AMIGA Demoscene.
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/demo ... 17445935#/

It's quite unique I thought, and probably would not get released any other way so I hope it is ok to post? Makes a change from the normal type of AMIGA books.

Also, don't worry the book will be in English.

Looks like an interesting project, tempted to back it. I'm also considering "From Vultures to Vampires" on Kickstarter. I've already backed the more ST oriented "Crackers" on Indigogo.

Too many projects :D

A few more backers and then an extra 16 pages!

Given the number of failed Kickstarter books of the same type, including two I backed before I got wise, I'd steer clear.

(The first I backed was a game book based upon "Elite: Dangerous" (in 2013) where the author took the money and just disappeared. The second, just after, was a coffee table history of Elite book. After about a year and one PDF of a chapter the author just stopped responding. Apparently he got bored and moved on to a Nintendo book. I don't know if he finished that or not.)
Intro retro computers since before they were retro...
ZX81->Spectrum->Memotech MTX->Sinclair QL->520STM->BBC Micro->TT030->PCs & Sun Workstations.
Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.
Collection now with added Macs, Amigas, Suns and Acorns.

He did deliver Vol 1 and pretty much on time from memory.

But yes, always caviat emporium with these things.
