I may have to revise my histories to reflect this…
The Big Fish Babes are a self-formed group, who volunteered to visit Seattle and stop by the BFG headquarters, so they could meet the staff there. Just more evidence that casual games can have committed players, and that cultures of different sorts can surround single player and casual games.
Several interesting looking articles about videogames and obsolesence.
Apparently even finding games in Arabic is a challenge, due to “values” considerations and localization costs.
While visiting Egypt I went into a Virgin store, and had fun browsing the media found there. In films and books there was a wide selection of both English language as well as Arabic language offerings. But in videogames, not so much. A few game boxes had some Arabic captions, but I couldn’t find any specifically Arabic or Egyptian games. Anyone out there know of any?
