We chose to release The Sumerian Game as a free-to-play model because the goal of this project is to give everyone the chance to experience one of the very first computer games, the predecessor of city-building, management, and turn-based strategy games. By purchasing the Supporter Pack, you can help and support the project, and also enjoy additional content as the recreation of the game with slides and questions
Upon purchase, you will immediately receive access to:
- Alternate gameplay mode with original slides and questions from 60s
- The complete ebook (PDF and EPub format) of the book "Video Games: The People, Games, and Companies - Stage I: 1979 and Before."
- Rebuilding The Sumerian Game (PDF and EPub format), the story of the recreation of the lost game.
In the coming months—check the roadmap published on the forum—with your support, we aim to release additional content such as:
- Original images of The Sumerian Game
- Printable artwork designed by Paul Stinson, the artist who created the cover of Ultima II and Marauder for Sierra On-Line back in the 80s
- Audiobook of the chapter about The Sumerian Game
- Soundtrack, Hurrian Hymn No. 6
- More to come...
