The Chimps At Play Team Had This To Say About All That Is "CHIMPS AT PLAY"

"I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself.....

My name is Paul “The Giant” Morris and my associate and co founder of Chimps At Play goes by the name of Karl “Fazza” Farrell

Together, we created Chimps At Play – an entertainment reviewing company specialising in video games, music, movies and comedy.

Imagine, if you will, journalism but with humour.

Essentially, Chimps At Play is an online magazine (or e-zine) aimed at, but not exclusive to, the 18-25 year old demographic.

We use social media to interact with our followers and subscribers, and we are currently developing a website which will bring all of our Facebook, Twitter and YouTube content together in one place, as well as offering an online outlet for our Chimps At Play merchandise.

We ask for feedback from fans in most things we do, and the website will be no exception.

We want this to be just as much the fans website as it is ours.

Aside from myself and Fazza, we have four “content creators” who upload a mixture of news stories and articles they have created themselves.

These are staggered throughout the day so that there is a constant feed for our fans.

The news stories and updates that we post, pertaining to the gaming industry, are almost always exclusives.

We are also always looking to support indie developers.

Chimps At Play was created in April 2013 and in the short time since, we have significantly increased our viewership.

This can be evidenced by the amount of interaction and likes on our Facebook page, Our Twitter followers and our YouTube subscribers."

★The The Rise & Fall Of The Video Game Cartridge - 1976 - 1996★ #RetroGaming #GamersUnite

The humble video game cartridge was the king of video games media right up until The Sony Playstation came along and mastered the art of producing amazing games on the CD medium.

The thing that remains though is our fondness for the hunks of plastic that were an essential part of our gaming lives knows no bounds!

We can often be seen at a car boot sale pawing over bulky plastic cartridges containing great games such as Shinobi on the SEGA Master System or Golden Axe on the SEGA Megadrive or even the odd NES game such as Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles.

The distinct sizes and shapes of the various cartridges gave each generation of consoles its own character.

Just by showing a retrogamer the silouhette of a cartridge, you will get them to identify the console that the cartridge belongs to.

We thought we'd treat all our RetroGaming Friends Of The Freezer to a pictorial run down of the main cartridges that spanned across 5 generations of video games consoles so as you can see why we love these plasticky bricks like our own friends!
