Summary

  • The Kickstarter campaign for a reissue of Van Burnham’s 2003 coffee table book Supercade, which covers the evolution of video games from 1971 to 1984, has already raised more than three times its $34,000 goal.
  • Burnham has signed on to produce a deluxe reissue of the book, which will have over 500 colour pages and will document the early history of the games industry.
  • She is also working on establishing a Supercade Museum and expanding the Supercade Collection, which will become one of the most significant archives of video and computer games, artefacts, art, and ephemera.
  • Burnham is working with backers and contributors to ensure that the new edition of the book is as comprehensive as possible.
  • She said she will use any funds raised over the $34,000 to keep the Supercade Collection growing and original games playable for future generations.
