 Pittsburgh, PA -
April 11,
2007 - Inecom Entertainment
Company announced today that its new
film,
Classic Game Room - The Rise and Fall of the
Internet's Greatest Video Game Review Show, will be available
in stores nationwide on Tuesday, August
28, 2007. Preorders for the
feature-length comedy documentary are already being
taken through Internet retailers such as
Amazon.com.
Classic Game Room
was the first classic video game review
show on the Internet in 1999 and 2000.
It returns as a feature-length comedy
film about the triumphant story of
online success, failure, obscurity,
resurrection and success again!
“Though
the series may be no more, fans of the
hilariously unhinged program can finally
find out the truth about the rise and
fall of Classic Game Room. Classic
reviews of such games as Frogger, Duck
Hunt, and Yar's Revenge highlight this
nostalgic look back at the beer-soaked
Internet start-up series that never took
itself too seriously,” says Jason
Buchanan of All Movie Guide.
The legendary show was produced in the
early days of online video by Mark
Bussler and David Crosson at an Internet
startup with one camera, a green screen
and $50 budgets. The show was objective,
entertaining and obnoxious with
beer-drinking, bottle-throwing,
joystick-slinging, car-crashing classic
game reviews. A cult following developed
and the reviews kept coming, but how
long could it last until the money ran
out?
The film features the original raucous
reviews of Duck Hunt for NES, Alien for
Atari 2600, X-Men for Sega Genesis, Sega
GT for Dreamcast, Joust and Missile
Command for Playstation, Frogger for
Atari 2600, SeaMan for Dreamcast,
Perfect Dark for Nintendo 64 and Yars'
Revenge for Atari 2600.
Special
Features on the DVD include a feature-length
commentary track with Writer/Director
Mark Bussler, three Blogs on production
including a bonus review of Berzerk for
Atari 2600 and trailers for
Bussler's
historical documentaries: EXPO -
Magic of the White City, Horses of
Gettysburg and World War 1 -
American Legacy. Horses of Gettysburg
will be airing on public television and
HDTV in June. Inecom Media Contact:
