Hey, Super Nintendo fans, I'm looking for brief personal stories from industry folks about specific SNES games. By industry folks, I have a loose definition meaning past or present video game reviewers, authors, bloggers, programmers, retailers, convention exhibitors, YouTubers, etc.


 


No compensation is involved, but your story or stories with your byline will be published in my forthcoming hardcover coffee table Super Nintendo book, which will be out early next year (I'm Brett Weiss, author of eight books). Review content is fine, but I'm primarily wanting stories with a personal slant: memories playing the game with friends, memories purchasing the game, memories beating the game, special hate for a game, getting the game for Christmas, etc. Below is a list of games that have already been reserved. If you see any U.S. releases for the SNES that are NOT on the list you’d like to write about, let me know via email: brettw105 [AT] sbcglobal.net. Also, in your message let me know what role you play (or played) in the industry, and I will send more info. THANKS!!

I'm assuming Zen is supposed to be Zool.

Not sure how comprehensive your book will be, but I could cover a number of games including many of those that no-one else is likely to claim (ie Space Football) and consider myself one of the most experienced SNES players out there. I am however not "industry" by any of those definitions

While I am also not industry by any measure, I too have quite a bit of a SNES background that I wouldn't mind sharing stories/write-ups about.  

Also, I'd love to spend some time sharing some love for the Top Gear series.  Top Gear 3000 in particular was fantastic  

Please let me know via PM if interested.  Either way, good luck with your project OP!

Yeah, Zen is not supposed to be on the list, thanks. Sorry, but the parameters of the book call for industry people. Thanks for responding!

Doesn't really work that way. You have to have a decent number of subscribers and solid content. Funneh, though.

May want to go message the industry people and gauge their interest to see how much they may help without compensation. People here are life long, experience collectors and enthusiasts

You may have difficulty getting anyone from the industry on board without some form of compensation. Who's your publisher? It seems rather odd there isn't a budget for that.

Schiffer Publishing. I've gotten many entries from industry people who are excited to be in the book, but I certainly understand those who don't want to take part because of lack of compensation.

Super Nintendo book update--contributors still needed.

My publisher wants to divide my forthcoming SNES book into two volumes, the first of which will cover games beginning with the letter A-M. This means more information, more personal stories, more full color images, etc., and of course it means coverage of the SNES library will be spread over two books instead of one--this is a good thing, IMHO.

I still need personal stories from industry people about specific games (the list of available games is below). By industry people, I have a loose definition meaning past or present video game reviewers, authors, bloggers, programmers, store employees or owners, Facebook group moderators, convention exhibitors, YouTubers, etc. No compensation is involved, but your story or stories (250-350 words each) with your byline will be published in the book, which will release next year. Stories can be about a game that has special meaning to you, particular hate for a game, a rare find in the wild, memories playing the game with friends or family, beating a high score, and more--these are just some examples. If you are in the video game industry (however loosely), or you used to be, and you are interested in contributing one or more stories about specific Super Nintendo games, send me a PM, and I will give you more information. If you know someone who might be interested, please let them know. Thanks!
