Pledge £5,000 or more
The PeaceMaster
Feel the hand of history on your shoulders by becoming the person to lead peace talks between Dominik and Dave Perry as they reunite for the first time in 25 years. You will accompany Dominik to the Revolver Tattoo Rooms in Torquay where you will both be tattooed by Dave in his studio. Afterwards, you'll kick back and play some '90s videogames with Dominik and Dave, before heading to a nearby pub to toast this historic pop cultural moment.

Read-Only Memories books are outstanding. Everything I've got from them (Mega Drive, Dreamcast, SNK and Metal Slug history books) has been excellent, no doubt this will be too.

There are some podcasts from the Retro hour on YT where both Dom and Dave were interviewed separately it was very interesting to hear both sides of the famous bust up.

That'll teach me not to check before posting. I knew I had more than just two books from ROM, the other one is Sega Pop-Up History, and I backed the Unofficial Oral History Of SF2 book that's hopefully out soon, and you can read bits of that on Polygon already.

Anyway, the GamesMaster book got funded.

Yes. I asked DD a question in the consultation zone and he answered it well :awe: I've not had time to read the book yet (I'm laughably behind everything) But I did read the .pdf they sent to backers of the extra memories or something that they didn't fit into the book, which was really good.
