Hi there,
Each backer of the printed Ocean book on the campaign will now get a 64-page magazine on the games of Ocean, and a FREE Ocean magnet.
We have also added an Ocean enamel badge as an add-on and a mug, that compliments the Gold Edition colouring of the book - see image below.
Pledge now for your book and free magazine: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/zzap642021annual/the-story-of-ocean-software-gold-edition

Hi again,
Andrew was with us yesterday as planned and signed over 300 books in the end. There will be extra signed books available on the www.fusionretrobooks.com site for sale shortly if you fancy one.
The books with signed bookmarks were all sent out yesterday. All the signed books will be sent out today.
Then onto the final perks.
My daughter's graduation is Thursday - we are off to Sheffield tomorrow to stay over to be at the ceremony on Thursday. So will see what I can do now with the last bits and pieces of this campaign this week in terms of mugs/frames etc.
Thanks again, Chris

Hi there,
Over 600 books now sent out. These are the Book (not signed) with the Fusion 64 magazine - 260 to the UK with the rest travelling to all over world.
I have packed the double i.e. the Dreams and Nightmare book with the Fusion 64 magazine. There are 150 or so of those and they will go out Monday morning.
I am seeing Andrew Fisher tomorrow at The Centre for Computing History in Cambridge. He will sign the bookmarks there. The 100 books with magazine and bookmark will also go out Monday.
Andrew is coming to my place on Monday afternoon to sign 300 or so books. These will go out Tuesday. At that point all books will have been sent to those who have filled in the questionnaire.
I then have the non-UK Dropzone mugs to send out plus some C64 Dreams mugs. There are 3-4 framed prints to send out to those who have more recently filled in the questionnaire.
So I am hoping, all books and perks will be sent out in the next week or so.
Hope those who have recieved the book like it :D
Cheers, Chris
