The Video Game History Expansion Pack – Pitch your story
Today I’m putting my money where my mouth is and launching a new project — a book focused on game history outside of the usual North American perspectives.
So, today I'm announcing a new book project... and doing a call for papers: crpgbook.wordpress.com/2025/10/31/t...
It's an anthology of video game history outside the usual US perspective - an accessible & exciting panorama of different realities - and I'll pay 300 USD per article.
Please share :)

Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?
review by Tony Smith from September 1987 issue of Australian Home Computer G.E.M. magazine
1987 Australian review of the first Carmen Sandiego game: “I saw the package for sale in Sydney for $89 which I feel is exorbitant. I myself would not pay that price for it and if it wasn’t for my old mate Brian lending me his game I wouldn’t have even seen it.”
(now ~$266 AUD / $170 USD)

Haha, this was a bug - for anybody playing along at home, you first have to go west inside Joe Mangel's house, then you can 'open' the envelope and 'examine' the letter.
