Entertainment Editors

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 3, 2003--

Groundbreaking Videogame Titles and Franchises to be Honored with Hollywood-Like Stars Showcased within San Francisco's 350,000 Square-Foot Entertainment Center

Move over Marilyn, and step aside Streisand -- soon a whole new generation of entertainment stars will get their chance to shine on the Walk of Game!
Metreon -- A Sony Entertainment Center today announced plans to launch the video game industry's version of the "walk of fame" to commemorate some of pop culture's most indelible icons of the digital screen. Located in the heart of downtown San Francisco, Metreon is the prime location to honor the creations of Northern California's tech-savvy hub, which many gaming firms such as Electronic Arts, PlayStation(R), and Sega call home.
"Walk of Game pays tribute to an industry that has had an overwhelming impact on pop culture," states Eva Miranda, senior vice president and general manager of Metreon. "Metreon is proud to celebrate the global gaming culture's most dynamic icons."
Metreon will be launching a website in October of 2003 as a sounding board for gamers worldwide to get involved in the selection of future honorees.
Metreon -- A Sony Entertainment Center is located at Fourth and Mission streets in San Francisco at Yerba Buena Gardens. Covering 350,000 square feet on four levels, Metreon houses interactive attractions; Bay Area based restaurants, unique shopping venues, movie theatres and the largest IMAX theatre in North America. Metreon is a business unit of Sony Corporation of America.

Just do a search for Abandonwarez. It sucks that winXP has no dos compatibility though. Then again... I could try and wet up this old p200... :)

yeah i experienced that with plenty games, even back in the days of win95/98...

there was this nifty util slowdown.exe that hung itself on interrupt21h and added delays to every cpu tick. made the comp as slow as u want it...

im sure it wouldnt work with xp/2k though. might be workable with 98's dos mode :)

Nope, most of them don't work. Doom 1+2 need a front end or the graphics corupt, Rise of the Dragon, Alone in the Dark 1+2 won't even run, neither will Neuromancer. It's anoying! I wanna play old games!

I guess I'll just stick to emulators.... I found a working Sega CD Emulator! I need to find some sega cd games now...

There was one sierra serries that not many people got into that was amazing: Manhunter

you played this kind of police officer who hunted down rebels on earth after it was conquered by giant eye-ball aliens called Orbs.
