MEDIA RELEASE
Includes new material from the legends Eugene Jarvis and Jeff Minter.
Yes! Mediocre actor Rick Moranis is FIFTY YEARS OLD. Ironically, www.WayoftheRodent.com is also FIFTY ISSUES OLD. Yeahyeah. Whatever... As our gift to the world of videogaming we offer up the 50 Greatest Shooters Ever. Without giving away the ending, the piece includes a photo of Robotron and Defender creator Eugene Jarvis doing the thumbs-up sign, which he sent us special like. Also includes Tempest 2K/3K coder Jeff Minter on the original Tempest.
Our 50th special includes the latest instalment in Jeff's extraordinary history of Llamasoft - a series that has become essential reading for all in the industry, charting as it does, the very roots of games coding. Rodent regular Swith complements a strong line-up with a heart-warming reminder that life in the arcades today can be just as thrilling as it ever was.
Our Fiftieth Special is typical of the content to be found at WotR: the games website endorsed by legendary Robotron designer Eugene Jarvis as 'the shit'. If you're ready to ride the new-wave of grown-up gaming journalism, it's time to put WotR onto your media schedule.
