The Story of the Definitive Complete SNES Books and the Way Ahead

To say that things have been hectic over the past month with the Definitive Complete SNES books would be an understatement. All of my free time has been consumed with fielding e-mails and referring backers to my updates on Kickstarter.

Creating something never goes smoothly, and this one has to have been the release with the most issues to date! Luckily I’m doing this as a passionate hobby, so…

Complete SNES Definitive Edition – Preview!

I finally received the advanced copy of The Complete SNES: Definitive Edition and wow is this book huge! I did a live stream on Facebook earlier in the week and it shows just how big a 630 page full color book is.

NES Oddities Kickstarter Project Update & Date for the Definitive Complete SNES

To say things have been busy in the past few weeks is a grave understatement! I went from shipping out VGBS Season 1 to fully assembling and shipping out three different releases of Black Box Challenge. Some of you may have seen the live-streams that I did as I assembled the carts, but it took lots and lots of time.

The Evolution of Hagen’s Alley Books – A Retrospective

For the past 20 or so years I have been writing about video games as a passionate hobby. A couple years back my hobby book project, to have a really cool coffee table collector’s book with quick minimalist write-ups for each game, caught steam and was supported by thousands of people all over the world.
