☆I Am Street Fighter☆ @AREA5 #RetroGaming #GamersUnite

Share This Post On Share to Facebook Share to Twitter Share This Post On

If you are a gamer of a certain age you will remember the heady days of arcade greatness when Street Fighter II cabinets were in every chip shop, video shop and Newsagents across the land.

With those cabinets came the queues of "New Challengers" and wannabe Kings Of The Arcade.

It was a time when just as many people came to watch as those who came to play.

Street Fighter II was and still is a phenomenon that so many of us have enjoyed both in its natural habitat (the arcade) and at home on the many many console conversions.

Don't forget the hacked editions of the arcade machine that also appeared in the arcades such as the "Rainbow Edition" 

Such was the demand for these hacked editions that Capcom had to release an official updated version of Championship Edition.

The "I Am Street Fighter" Documentary captures the spirit and feel of Street Fighter and really gets across what it felt like to play Street Fighter back in those halcyon days of arcade gaming.

There is a part where they talk about the symbolism of putting your 20p or 25c on the machine to signify that YOU are the next challenger which really resonated with us.

Please take an hour of your time to sit down and watch this gem of a documentary and hopefully you will enjoy it just as much as we did.


Let us know what you thought of this brilliant documentary?


What other cool Videogames documentaries or films would you recommend for us at Games Freezer to watch?

AdventurOS - Fiendishly Different!

 

Every Now And Again A Concept For A Game Comes Along That Really Gets You thinking..........

 

AdventurOS is one such game that really got us thinking and we LOVE the sound of it!

 

AdventurOS is the brainchild of  Evelend Games and our fave Game Dev @MissScripter (a.k.a Lorena Casanova)



 What is AdventurOS?


AdventurOS is a "Metroid-Vania" styled game that will allow you to enjoy your operating system and it's file structure like you never thought was possible before. 
The Game World that you will enter is entirely auto-generated by the content of your computer! 


Each room, object, enemy, puzzle, key, treasure, boss... Is actually an interpretation of the files and folders located on the computer where the game is running.

These game items and NPCs are actually determined by the way they are organized.

The coolest feature of the game is there will never be two identical versions of the AdventurOS game worlds! 


Just imagine how your game could look like!


Exciting Stuff eh!?



What's The Story?


"The architect has a problem. Together with his castle, all the creatures who live in it are in danger.

A big crisis is therefore faced by The Architect! Regardless of the safety measures taken to protect his castle, this fateful day has come!


There is an unwelcome visitor among the guests of the castle and to make matters worse they are hidden behind a harmless appearance.


This despicable intruder has cast a curse in order to achieve his goal: To take over the architect's wealth and dominate all his inhabitants.


A band of voluntaries have now settled into his castle, lead by their heroic captain who is determined to free them from the damned curse.


Will he be able to overcome the challenges the evil intruder puts before him? 

Fight your own files turned into monsters, level up by exploring your castle, customize your character, solve puzzles and get ready for the evil bosses!"



How much would you like to play this ingeniously fiendish new game?

Well, in order to make this great project reality, the AdventurOS Team require YOUR SUPPORT!

The Team Have Set Up An INDIEGOGO Campaign in order to raise the required funding to develop and distribute the game.


BUT.......Before you visit the INDIEGOGO page, let's meet the Team!


Emilio and André Marí Coppola brothers, a.k.a Evelend Games:

Emilio Mari manages the programming for their games and Andre Mari
creates the audiovisuals - the sprite work, music and other art
work.


  Emilio and Andre were both born in Argentina and raised in Spain.
Their most popular game is Pixelry.

Emilio has taken part in many open source projects. One of his creations is
Stellar, a python version of the popular creation tool Game Maker which is
still in development.

Andre also collaborated on other games as an artist, most recently Andre created and released Super Tower Rush together with Miss Casanova.
 

Lorena Casanova a.k.a @MissScripter:  

This devoted indie is responsible for the code of Super Tower Rush, with Mr Marí Coppola as an artist as mentioned before. 

Lorena was introduced to programming while she collaborated with the Evelend brothers as a proofreader for Pixelry. 

Not long after that she was encouraged to produce her first solo release, which brought Antipodes to life, the first in what is becoming a long list of development achievements.

Now we have met the team let us get a move on over to the INDIEGOGO Fund Raising Page where we can begin to contribute to this wonderful project and learn a bit more about the wonderful world of AdventurOS!

Heroes of Steel is a work in progress game that came out of our successful KickStarter, and the 5th game by Trese Brothers! 

The Trese Brothers have pulled together a cracking set of Games for Android devices and their latest release Heroes of Steel has really caught our eye!



The Trese Brothers were looking to create an epic turn-based mobile fantasy RPG and came up with Heroes Of Steel concept.

It's a squad-based tactical role-playing game set in the World of Steel.

The Trese Brothers were looking to create a game that is deeper than your average Android game by really engaging the player in the Game World and the Game System.


Combat In Action!

Even though the KickStarter has closed, if you are interested in helping to fund the Heroes of Steel project, you can still join by pledging at the PayPal backers’ page.

Heroes of Steel will be released on the Android, OUYA, and iOS devices because of achieving it's stretch goals through the Kickstarter campaign! 



Heroes Of Steel also be shipped with eight character classes, and a map of the complicated underground world of Steel.

This really gives the game a depth rarely seen on the Android platform.

Meanwhile here's a short Bio on the Trese Brothers in their own words:


"Cory and Andrew are two brothers who have spent their lives together making games.  

We were always the first player in each other's games from a very early age, and started home-brewing systems before we knew what the term meant.  

We've spent countless hours creating of pen and paper games, stories and campaigns to share with our friends around the table.  

In mid-2010, Cory picked up an Android and started tinkering with a game idea he had in his favourite genre, space trading games.  

And so Star Traders was born.  

It was not long before we realized how powerful of a platform mobile gaming was to share our ideas, stories, and worlds with a larger audience.

Over the last three years, we have built four games and run one successful KickStarter to build our fifth [Heroes Of Steel]

We have updated these games hundreds of times with new content, story, characters, upgraded artwork, maps and sub-plots.  

We are extremely dedicated to our customers, listening to them, and making our games better with them.  

We love our games, and we play them every day.  

We believe we run a pretty unique business model and we love what we do with a major passion.  

We are very excited to have recently announced that we have transitioned to full time game development, both of us leaving full time software engineering positions.  So, its working!  

We hope you will join us by trying out one or more of our games and seeing them grow every week!"
