The Summer Fireball Game Bundle – Curated by David L. Craddock

Summer heatwaves make the angry sun in Super Mario Bros. 3 feel as balmy as a spring breeze in comparison. When it’s too hot for days at the beach or picnics in the park, embark on an adventure in the books collected in our Summer Fireball game bundle.

Gaming historian Richard Moss dives deep into the secret history of Mac games and chronicles the thrills and toils of managing a football club. Boss Fight Books and author Sebastian Deken connect our fondness for Final Fantasy VI’s iconic characters and story in the titular Final Fantasy VI.

Author David L. Craddock collects interviews and oral histories in Game Dev Stories: Volume 7 and Dialogue Boxes—exploring the making of Fallout, the early days of Nintendo Power, and other pivotal titles and epochs of gaming history. All that, plus narrative designer and game journalist Cara Ellison’s year-long adventure learning from game developers, Brian Riggsbee takes you on a journey through the history of Rygar, and more.

StoryBundle is a pay-what-you-want platform for independent authors to share their works with readers (and gamers) like you. Paying at least $5 will get you three books from the Summer Fireball Game Bundle, while paying $15 or more unlocks all seven bonus books for a total of nine.

StoryBundle is pleased to partner with Qweerty Gamers, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that champions LGBTQ+ representation in the gaming community. Per the organization’s website: “Qweerty Gamers provides a productive platform for people to connect & learn from each other while playing video games. Our platform provides unique perspectives of LGBTQIA+ Gamers, microgrants for content creators & game developers with a passion for more diversity in video games, & a medium for individuals and creators to share their experiences, accomplishments, & expertise.” For more information visit https://www.qweertygamers.org/.
