GameNES 2: Rebirth of Gaming

Ooh, competition in New York, this will be fun. :D
 
Sorry, but NYC just made the most sense to me. You'll probably take it anyways, since I'm having toruble thinking up anything new :).
 
Edited my second post with game stats and a story.
 
The first page has been updated. Also, keep the orders coming in. They are due in tomorrow and so far I only have Luckymoose's and Sloaf's.

@Haseri, your game shall cost one point.
 
What form of advertisements are there in this time period? Were there tv commercials for games or like magazines? I was tech deprived in my childhood so yeah XP
 
Well, I believe that TV advertisement and magazines were the main forms in this time period. Posters at malls and such are also a widely form of advertisement. The Internet doesn't play too much of a role yet in advertising.
 
Wow, this is interesting. I shall join.

VELKÝ NÁVRAT VIDEOHER?

Praha - Dnes byla otevřena pobočka nové firmy jménem Illusion Development v Praze, Pařížské ulici. Bude schopna tato malá, česká firma, vyniknout na Evropském trhu? To ukáže až čas. Zeptali jsme se šéfa firmy Jakuba Nováka jak to vidí s nadcházejícím rokem: "Plánujeme vydat naši první hru pod názvem Formula Racing a samozřejmě to nějak propagovat.". Tato hra by měla vyjít na konzoli HiGrax ke konci tohoto roku. Proč zrovna na tuto? "HiGrax je pro nás jednodušší volbou máme programátory, kteří už mají zkušenosti s programováním na HiGraxu. Je výborný po stránce technické i hratelnostní." dodal pan Novák. V Evropě jsou tedy nyní dvě firmy programující videohry, bude ta česká mít šanci proti Britské?

GREAT VIDEO-GAMES COMEBACK?

Prague - New company called Illusion Development has opened their new branch in Prague, street Pařížská. Could this small, Czech company stand well on European market? Time will show us. We asked director of Illusion Development, Jakub Novák, what he is planning for upcoming year: "We're going to release our first game called Formula Racing, and, of course, we want to make some advertisment for it.". This game should be for HiGrax console in the end of the year. Why on HiGrax? "HiGrax is the easier one. We have some programmators, who have experience with programming on it. HiGrax is very good both technically and playability." said Novák. Now there are two companies in Europe, who are programming videogames. Will be the Czech one better one?
 
Thanks Honzas, that inspired me to do newspaper article. I was trying to figure out what format to use. :goodjob:


New York Times

Rivalry in New York?

And no we don't mean Yankees against Red Sox. We mean two gaming companies based in New York, Zabriskie Entertainment and Crooked Lane Studios. Zabriskie Entertainment has announced the release date for their game City Simulation set for (insert end of update here) and already crowds of several fans have gathered at the headquarters to learn about any new piece of hardware or news about the game. The same cannot be said about Crooked Lane Studios as nothing was heard from them since their announcement about their founding. Has Zabriskie Entertainment already crushed their competition?

Buddy Zabriskie say no, but with no reply from Sebastian from Crooked Lane, the outlook is not good for them. Will this rivarly be cut short or will Crooked Lane Studios stage a dramatic comeback? Only time will tell.
