Last month we at Flickering Myth brought you the news on PLAY it! at the MOSI in Manchester and its celebration of gaming history across the last 30 years. Well now we can bring you some more news on what you’ll be able to see across the event. Not only will the be six sections linked by theme, content and brand but also they'll be paying tribute to Ocean Software, one of the most recognisable names in gaming history.
Ward founded the developer and publisher in 1983, and went on to become a pioneer of the UK games industry,
Ocean, I still play your games on my C64, Amstrad and Zx Spectrum, you will never be forgotten.
Loved Ocean games on C64 and Spectrum. Also US Gold, Imagine and Elite. Goes without saying legendary days of gaming.
Mancunians using the Metrolink were left puzzled as the city centre’s busiest tram stops were renamed by a team of mischievous computer game characters.
Was Mario a Computer Game Character? I guess if you count the PC that was inside the Cabinet for OG DK. But Luigi....Console.
With just two weeks until the event kicks off, Replay Events announced some more names to the PLAY Expo Blackpool lineup.
Two of my favourite games were made by Ocean back in the day. Robocop & Batman The Movie, great days.
Don't forget Head over Heels :D
