I have a DREAM!!!!

I have a Dream!
When I was a young child there was no better break away from the stern discipline of my parents or the hard knocks life of school than sitting down with my 2 brothers and playing multiplayer games on our Spectrum or most of all the Commodore Amiga and so forth through the generations of computer (Nes, Master System, Dreamcast blah blah etc).

I actually have 3 brothers in total but the 3rd was too young back in them days.

It was so exciting when we all competed against each other or take turns on single player games, with the older brother sometimes doing the "Big Brother" thing and taking 2x goes in a row (GIT!). After several attempts of failing at Moonstone, we would move on to some Skidmarks (super skidmarks!) and many more.

I now have my own family with 2x little girls at the age of 2 years and a 5x week old.

I HAVE A DREAM (besides winning Euro Millions!)

As an avid gamer and lover of the entertainment and escapism it provides, I look forward to all these wonderful indie games that provide classic couch gaming, in particular the Ouya. The vast amount of lovely silly games you would never dream of playing are just a treat to be able to play with friends and family for an evening of fun.

Taking away the HD graphics, all the technical shader details and pixels per zillion and just have some bare fun couch gaming.
I buy and download as many 4 player couch games for Ouya as I can just so when my daughters grow up, I can unwrap my bad boy Ouya (if its wrapped up in 3 years time or so) and play some fun innocent games with them for giggles and entertainment.

I suppose this is why I want PureG33k.com to support indie developers, there are some fantastic little gems out there which don't see the shed of light or get no notice (Super World Karts?!?!? and can someone please make a Fuzion Frenzy style game on OUYA please!).  I want these come to be released and hopefully on a form of system that is not a PC.  As much as I love my PC for gaming I just think it's not the Couch gaming system at top of the list.

Our first of many “Support the Developer” campaigns is Explosive Dinosaurs, a 4-player party/mini game coming to PC, Mac and Ouya.

And our products which will donate proceeds to the cause can be found here - http://www.pureg33k.com/Indie-Support-s/1832.htm

P.S I'm still waiting for someone to make or convert Liero to Ouya!  With 4 player mode :)

The Big Steam Engine Pull - Dystonia.. A Good Cause!

Dystonia is a medical term that describes a range of movement disorders that cause muscle spasms and contractions. It can be devastating to deal with, however one individual is standing up to it and running a charity event.

Ellalouise Middleton is 16 years old from Essex. She was diagnosed at 14 years old and it has had a massive impact on her life within these few years.  Her life style has changed dramatically due to this Illness because she cannot do any of her hobbies or interest i.e. play football, dance and horse ride. This is down to Dystonia effecting hurt legs, and feet.
She is often wheel chair bound or on crutches, unfortunately there is not cure for Dystonia so support is a big deal to Ellalousie and other sufferers.

Support comes in the form of The Dystonia Society; the Dystonia Society provides practical and emotional support to people with this neurological condition by providing support and information services through our national Helpline and our network of local branches. We also support research to find better treatments for this incurable condition.
