Just watched the ARCADE preview footage, looking fantastic dude (you're totally driving me towards finally getting a full frame camera). The footage from Luna City though, damn...right "in the feels." This series is going to be an emotional as well as nostalgic ride.
Creator Oliver Jones on January 13, 2012
I would totally give you more money for documentaries on any of the following subjects: the demo scene, the old warez scene, phreaking, Unix history, early Internet history, 8bit computer/console and PC DOS games/shareware history, etc.
Creator Dan Campbell on October 29, 2011
I just found out about and saw Get Lamp a few days ago, and came over here to support in my small way.
FWIW, I concur with Chris Sanyk below. Feelies are nice, but temporary. The art is immortal.
Creator Jeff Karpinski on October 25, 2011
Your timing is impeccable as I'm currently re-living my 6502 youth by building an Apple 1 clone from scratch. I can't wait to see what you come up with!
Creator TsaSzymborska on October 25, 2011
Woot! Congratulations Mr. Scott!
Creator Chris Sanyk on October 24, 2011
Congratulations on hitting your goal! Jason, just my two cents on what to do with any overage -- go for more content. I personally don't care for extra packaging. A nice DVD/BD (if you must do BD), with a standard size case that will fit nicely on my shelf with all my other DVDs and not f*ck up my shelving scheme is all I need. More interviews, more content. That's where I'd like you to put the money, for whatever say I have in the matter. Best luck to you on all three projects!
Creator Anna Newman on October 18, 2011
Donation in loving memory of the 1/2" tape I used to thread through the Sun 3/280 every morning at Coherent Thought, my first job out of college. And who knew Reed Hastings, that hot shot new guy with crumbs in his keyboard, would go on to such things... ;)
Creator Ashley Burton on September 24, 2011
It's a lot of money to out up for all three but based on the quality of your other films it'll be worth it - good luck with the funding and good luck with all the Skype conversations you're going to be having! I'll try and come up with something worth talking about before I take up the option.
Creator Mungewell on September 22, 2011
You never forget your first computer; mine was the 6502 based Vic20 and I spent many hours pouring over manuals, books and the most beautiful flip book assembly guide (which I still have & treasure).
To many of my generation that was a true special time and I look forward to seeing it immortalized on film^m^m^m^m tape.
Creator Chris Ambrose on September 20, 2011
Jason, I'm looking forward to your next set of film projects, especially 6502. The ignition system in my 1987 Nissan Sentra was built around a 6502, which is a testament to the adaptability, ruggedness, and just plain coolness of this wonderful microprocessor (nevermind that it was also the heart of many of the classic PCs that we all grew up with).
Creator Eden Crow on September 19, 2011
OK - so your saying no to a download then?
Makes sense though - will just buy on release as well as give a small pledge.
Thanks and all the best!
Creator Jason Scott on September 19, 2011
The purpose of the kickstarter is to raise the significant funds needed to mount these documentaries. Every bit helps, so if you would prefer to pledge a smaller amount, that makes sense.
Creator Eden Crow on September 19, 2011
Hi Jason - Is it possible to have a smaller amount than $100 which gets you all three films but to download rather than physical?
Thanks and I really wish you all the best!
Creator Eden Crow on September 17, 2011
If only I had $250 right now...
Creator casty on September 16, 2011
I really like your movie asking for donations, Godspeed!
Creator Jason Scott on September 16, 2011
There will never be a situation where I won't sign something I've made like this. You want it signed, it's signed, and that goes for any that are bought.
Creator Vince Mulhollon on September 16, 2011
Autographed copies of the deluxe packaging, much like I got for the BBS documentary?
Creator David Tyler Hunt on September 15, 2011
We talked briefly about the 6502 at Defcon - can't wait.
Creator Elliot Salmons on September 15, 2011
I'm stoked! Your last two were brilliant and I've been thinking about Arcade since we chatted about it about...uhm....7 years ago?!? Can't wait!
Creator Ari Braginsky on September 14, 2011
So glad this is moving forward. Looking forward to all three. Can't wait to find out what the deluxe packaging entails :)
