Browser retrogames and the future
So. We can take classic game play, in our browser. Thanks, Johann! So, you can modify this. If you modified the game, what themes and concepts do you think would work? For me, I see a hand full of our I.S. concepts, translating into such play.
Lately, I've been pondering the place of video games in my childhood culture, personally. I didn't know about any 1983 game sales crash: my TV was suddenly avatar to an entirely new way of game play. I didn't see much about video games in comic books I saw, but in 1982, those ads arrived. Imagining the games and making up my own pretend arcade visits were great fun to me.
I wonder if you might remember the first game commercials you saw? They didn't seem to pop up in my market, northwest Georgia/ Atlanta, until 1982 or so, when they began their media saturation for a couple of years, including 'Starcade,' a syndicated show taped in San Fransisco, and many Saturday morning cartoons from ABC and later, CBS. This is probably the first North American commercial I can find besides the sad ol' dad's "I Never Get To Play," from Christmas, 1977. I like the English commercials I found, too. Anyway, So. Before my time, but familiar faces there, and I later played crazy amounts of Atari 2600 Basketball. Way less stressful than, say, Spider-Man.

See, I am considering adding a retrogame aspect to the existing and upcoming story games, such as you find here:

So! Here to play Millipede for a few minutes?
It's not all I have in mind, you know. Perhaps a more fruitful way of looking forward, by looking back, is to begin conceptualizing our Integr8d Soul characters and its reality in heavy favorites suited to such IPs. Like:
