The project to reconstruct The Sumerian Game and release it on Steam, allowing everyone to play it, began several years ago, between 2018 and 2019. The more I studied The Sumerian Game, the more I realized that not only was it possible to rebuild it, but it would also be a tremendous challenge and a unique endeavor in its own right.
Five years later, here it is: The Sumerian Game! I hope you've enjoyed this journey through time.
For the curious, the collectors, the video game history enthusiasts, and those who want to support this project (which is just the first in a series I’m already working on... stay tuned because there’s more to come!), for the hundreds of individuals who have already added The Sumerian Game Supporter Pack to their wishlist, now is the ideal moment!
In four days, the crowdfunding campaign to fund the English translation and publication of my latest two books will come to an end.
The first is Video Games Stage 2, the second in a series of five books (in Italy, we are about to publish the forth), which tells the entire history of the video game industry from its origins up to 1999, covering mainframes, computers, arcades, consoles, and handheld devices.
The second is The Sumerian Game: A Digital Resurrection, available in both print and ebook formats.
But that’s not all: among the rewards, there will also be a limited "big box edition" of The Sumerian Game in three versions: for Commodore 64, Apple II, and PC (on USB drive).
All supporters will also receive a free Steam key to unlock all the additional modes of The Sumerian Game. Additionally, for those who want to catch up on some of my other books, you'll be able to order Stage 1 of the Video Games series and Through the Moongate: The Story of Richard Garriott, Origin Systems Inc., and Ultima, the biography of the greatest CRPG creator and father of Ultima.
