A Slow Year is about to ship, and I’ll be posting information about it in the very near future.

As I’ve mentioned before, the game will be released in two editions, both packaged as unusual books of poetry: a Windows/Mac edition running in a custom emulator, and a numbered, signed Atari cartridge edition, limited to 25. The general edition is packaged as a paperback book with CD, and it will be very affordable. The special edition will be, well, less affordable.

I’ll talk about the standard edition very soon. For now, I want to say a few things about the limited edition. Here’s what you get:

  • Numbered, signed Atari cartridge of A Slow Year
  • Leather casebound, foil embossed edition of the A Slow Year book, with color details, numbered to match and signed
  • Boxed CD-ROM with the Windows/Mac edition
  • All carefully packaged in an intricately detailed, embossed leather box with the A Slow Year cover art, suitable for display or storage on a bookshelf

I’ve been collecting a list of interested parties, and I’ll be extending offers to them in the order I originally received their requests.

So, if you’re interested in one of these, shoot me an email and let me know. I’ll be sending out further information and instructions within the next week.
