Diablo III

I have waited 8 bloody years for this game to come out. In fact, Diablo (both part I and part II) is one of the only games I ever played intensively (hours, hours and days). Yesterday the news came out that my waiting has finally been rewarded. Diablo 3 is said to be officially in the making and its developer, Blizzard, was kind enough to distribute some images, trailers and other goodies. Enjoy!

Space Invaders

How much I love this game! It is a classic and I think most people that are born in the beginning of the 1980s or late 1970s know it very well... Space Invaders! I collected a range of links, which all have something to do with this classic video game. Of course I as well uploaded the gem!

Games and Cult

People that have known me longer, know that I have worked in the video game industry. There I started to love games, which is why on this Saturday morning I want to treat you on some games.

Malachite

Chess

Leading Edge

Or watch this cult classic: "Billy the kid versus Dracula" (brilliant title!)

Good old days

People from my age (now I feel old) remember the days of Nintendo 8-bit cartridges or even before that when you needed big black floppy disks to get your games loaded (which took ages and ages).Times have changed. Games have become big money and there are now even people earning money with professional gaming. Money? Millions of it. It is now even possible to play games on blogs like these. Well anyways, I uploaded a game that bring back at least some memories of those good old days!

Sonic

Safe Bush Jr.

Time for some good old gaming. Safe George and Condoleezza out of the White House or let the terrorists win...

Enjoy a good ol' shoot' em up and leave your scored in the comments!

Copter Game

You might have noticed that I have given my blog a huge facelift! I hear you asking why... well, I am trying to raise funds for my PhD in England (bloody expensive) and in light of that I deem it important to have a nice and updated blog. Soon I will write you all a mass email and will ask you to forward it to everybody in your address list. Eventually, I hope that the email reaches a philanthropist who is literally swimming in money and not only believes in my abilities to successfully conduct my PhD , but also realises the importance of my research :).

In the meantime I hope I can satisfy you with a modest, but very kool retro game!

Love,



Marijn
