Video Games Live concert in Singapore (19 Jun 2009 8pm)

This is a call for all working adults who had a life (played computer games) when they were still studying, and all students who are interested in the gaming or game developments. :P

Let me start with the working adults. Do you remember the game Pong? Maybe you are younger than the pong days. What about Pac-Man? Donkey Kong? Mario? Those were the days… So nostalgic… Monochrome computer days. The green dot pixel display. Games loaded from floppy disks, of size in kilobytes. Harddisk were of size in tens of Megabyte. Programming were done in Assembly language or Basic language. Ops… you have a rough guage of my age. :(

I still remember that some of the games were available on PC, while others were commonly available in arcade or specialized game console. Super Mario was one of my favorite, but I didn’t have the game console, and so could only played it in the holidays at my relative’s home. Those were the days…

Now, you got your chance to have a glimpse of 30 years of gaming culture in the up-coming single (1 concert, only) concert – Video Games Live, the first Southeast Asian appearance at your door-step in Singapore Indoor Stadium (on 19 Jun 2009, starting at 8pm of duration 2.5hrs). Booking is available through SISTIC. Don’t say that I didn’t mention that it is only a single concert, and that it has been the most successful video game concert in the world. :P

Now, for students who are interested in the gaming or game developments, there isn’t any better chance to experience the entire 30 years of gaming culture than this concert. You can see the development of games from dot display, to crude visual graphics, to the current realistic computer graphics which you can mistaken as real-life. 30 years of development does a great difference to game developments. Err… maybe you want to pause playing Final Fantasy or Warcraft for a while, and make the concert booking. Just kidding, you are reading my blog at the moment, and there is no pause. :)
