Steeplechase, Canyon Bomber, Badlands photos HELP needed for book
I'm writing a book provisionally entitled "One switch One Hundred", detailing some key games that can be played with a single button alone.
Some of the earliest one-button playable arcade games include:
Atari Steeplechase (1975), Atari Canyon Bomber (1977) and Konami Badlands (1984).
I'm really struggling to get any decent high(ish)-res photos of those games suitable for my book that aren't from an emulator or flyer. Could anyone help me, please? I'll be happy to give full credit. Really keen to get control panel and monitor shots. Anything artistic would be brilliant too.
I'd also love to see a video with sound of Steeplechase in action, as I've never seen it for a companion web-site. Does such a thing exist?
The book and site will be made freely available, but will encourage people to donate to the gaming charity www.specialeffect.org.uk if people so wish. Obviously, a large proportion of people most interested in one-switch / one-button games are disabled people, so it seems like a good fit.
Finally, if anyone knows of any other one-switch games from the arcade (I know of Star Trigon, Uo Poko and Mushime-tama), that would be much appreciated too.
Many thanks for reading this far.
