Classic Gaming Expo Exposed · Slashdot Mirror

Thanks to GameSpy for their report from last weekend's Classic Gaming Expo in Las Vegas. As the article points out: "There's a huge focus on the 'homebrew' market, a clique of game makers that program 'new' classic cartridges from their basement", and additionally highlighted is "Seth Barken's Blue Wizard is About to Die (from Rusty Immelman Press), a collection of poems spanning over 20 years of gamedom, from the days of Defender and Robotron, all through the '80s, and up till Metal Gear Solid" - this apparently includes Megaman haiku, even. There's also a photo gallery from the convention, including some classic machines.

skeaking of classig games... by BinLadenMyHero · 2003-08-15 06:57 · Score: 2, Interesting

I recently played XKobo, a very addictive yet simple game, that reminds me of old classig games. But I haven't found a homepage or much more info. They're listed at the Happy Penguin site.
