The first three sets of postcards have arrived, and we'll be working on mailing them this weekend/early next week! They turned out really well!
If you're currently on the $16 tier, please make sure your mailing address is populated in your account! I recently changed the settings that required this, but there are still several where I don't have complete addresses so I can't send them anywhere until I have them!
For anyone that was a $16 patreon donor in the past month, I've gone ...

Pac-Man saw a lot of oddball sequels, but this one, a console point-and-click adventure game, is one of the most bizarre.

The sequel to Wing Commander removes the open-ended mission structure of the original in favor of a much stronger, more linear storyline.

Origin's high-flying cinematic space combat game, which was mindblowing for the time.
We'll be doing the whole series eventually. Wing Commander II will be showing up over the weekend - the others, a bit longer since we're still working on them.

LucasArts briefly dabbled in first person shooters that weren't Star Wars related, and the Wild West-themed Outlaws was the result.

We've introduced some exciting new additions to our Patreon!
(1) Collector's Postcards
I think one of the coolest things about doing the HG101 books is commissioning original artwork for the covers, which in many cases feature characters from games outside of the usual fan art circuit.
