OVGE Article

[HawgWyld]

The article I wrote on OVGE finally ran in The Daily Record, so I've attached this Word document for those interested in such things. Jesse, hopefully I'll see you again at next year's show

Thanks! I'm just glad Jesse Hardesty had the initiative to put this show together in the first place. That's a wonderful event for classic gamers in this part of the world.

Thanks, Albert. It was good seeing you as well, and I was reminded I need to pick up homebrews from you folks more than once a year. My eight-year-old son loves "Go Fish," and I've played the heck out of "Seawolf." Great stuff.

 

I just hope I can write another article next year -- it appears I'm exiting the field of journalism and moving over the the "dark side" (public relations). Oh, well.

 

I'll e-mail some copies of the article out, as promised, later tonight -- been kinda busy today.

Hey, a writer who doesn't mention AtariAge at an event like that isn't worth a damn, right?

Nothing wrong with that profession - you'll just be generating the press releases that those of us still in the field of journalism will, in all likelihood, be parroting word for word. And you'll probably be bringing more home too - hence, more homebrews. It's good to hear that you found some bacon to bring home at any rate!

 

See you at next year's show! Seeing as I completely forgot to bring any camera of my own to this year's OVGE (grumble grumble lack of sleep), I may tap you to report on next year's OVGE for me.

I look forward to the opportunity, actually, and the money does sound good, too, as I do need some more homebrews (not to mention the fact I need a larger car to hold my growing family). Still, going from being a "real journalist" to a PR guy might be quite a jump (provided the negotiations go well with the organization that's gotten in touch with me, of course). Regardless, Greg George over at The Atari Times will get another article from me next year, and I'm always thrilled to write about events like OVGE.

 

We Atari fans should feel very lucky, indeed, that some programmers out there are still cranking out quality games for us. I picked up three homebrews at OVGE and love the heck out of them!
