Welcome to the latest edition of our regular crowdfunding feature here on Nerdly – Back This! – where we take a look at some of the cool content taking the crowdfunding route on sites such as Indiegogo, Sponsume and Kickstarter. This month we’re spotlighting two very different projects, yet two projects which share a common theme: video games.

Developed using the latest (old) technology, the highly passionate team behind The 64 are not only releasing a classic desktop version of the Commodore 64 but also a brand new handheld version meaning classic gaming, on the go!
As well as a chance to get their hands on The 64 computer or handheld version, there is also an exciting range of other campaign backers perks, including: signed limited edition concept art, originals, posters, limited edition chrome computers,...

Confession time. Between working a full time job and keeping Nerdly going, I don’t have a lot of downtime. Working all day and well into the night also means I also often struggle to unwind at bedtime. But a few years ago I found a solution for that, YouTube. Whereas a lot of people will read a book in bed for going to sleep, I watch videos. In particular the myriad of retro gamers on YouTube making videos about their collections, their game hunts and their general all-round love for old-school gaming. I’ve even made some videos of that nature myself.
Over the years there has been an explosion of well-produced YouTube “shows” that rival Us reality television in terms of editing, production and quality.

Nintendo Quest is a new documentary launching today that shows what happens when two fans go on the hunt to track down and purchase all 678 games for the Nes console. If you're a gamer or collector, this may be worth checking out. Come inside to learn more.
This should be an interesting documentary not only for gamers, but retrogaming collectors. While I used to collect a lot of retro stuff, I gave it up a while back. Even so, I still feel a certain passion for it, and this sounds like the type of documentary that's right up my alley.
