In 30 days, we were able to raise just over $2500 from a small set of incredibly generous patrons. Your donations are absolutely critical to our operations - without this funding, we would be closing our doors, unable to continue our work. We exist because of you. Thank you, very much.

The inspiration for this one is, of course, old school video games. I wanted something that captured that excited moment of startign a new video game - sitting on the floor in front of the tv after school; cartridge, disc, or download ready; excited to step into a world of brand new adventures.
