The recently launched Kickstarter campaign for The EGM Compendium was instantaneously well-received, with the ambitious project blowing past its initial funding goal and now well into its many stretch goals. One of the most interesting aspects of a book chronicling the history of one of the more important gaming publications was the work that would have to go into its creation, and it's obvious now that those efforts are bearing fruit in other, profound ways. Not only do backers of the compendium get a digital or print version of the book, but they also get access to the full digital archive chronicling every single issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly.
