I'll have to check this out. I've already got a flyer for it.

Recently Video Games Live (http://www.wmich.edu/wmu/news/2009/03/021.html) was here, but I passed it up. Didn't really think "classic arcade games medley" was worth listening to Zelda themes yet once again.

Not the first. There was a Macbeth game for Commodore 64. :p

Woops, I think I missed this.

Oh wait, no I didn't.

Anyhow, first games made *for* a play - developed specifically for a play with the playwright's input. Shakespeare at best saw an abacus sometime in his life.

Wow. I realize this is essentially a press release and everyone supplying quotes is doing so in order to keep their jobs, but damn, the whole thing sounds pretentious as hell.
