When will there be a kickstarter to fund a documentary about the history of crowdsourced funding.

[bcass]

Probably about the same time you can create something that others find engaging enough to pay for.

Be nice if it get's of the ground and it's actually produced in a format akin to Zzap! which I fealt the Newsfield years did'nt really capture at all tbh, although how the hell you'd manage that in video format I'm not quite sure.

Would also be nice to see Mel Croucher added to the list of interviews, just to add another peice of the Pi.

Zzap! was great, but let's not forget that it was a clone Crash, which came long before Zzap.

Granted, but having started with the speccy and Crash myself and then moving on to the C64 and Zzap I'd say that Zzap had the edge in that it had the better machine, better games, better reviewers and a better vibe.

As for list of interviewees, yeah, Croucher is a good call. Others I'd like to see include Steve Turner, Raff Cecco, Dominic Robinson, Andrew Braybrook, Dave Dew, Pete Cooke and Mike Lamb. Pete Cooke especially is perhaps one of gamings biggest losses from that era. An amazing gaming brain, and exquisite coder. I read that he's a teacher now. What a waste.

We've had this discussion in another recent topic. Suffice it to say, you're wrong on all counts.

Funding does'nt look like it's going too well, shame because it looks like one hell of a project.
