This is a call to action for folks in the Boston area.
As many of you know I left the auto industry to make my way in the world putting robots into arcade games (roboticamusements.com). As a result I keep my ear to the ground listening for new trends in the coin op business.
2 years ago I came across a very new and different type of video game from a company called Cecropia (http://cecropia.com/). They have a really great idea. You can see a "trailer" for there game here (http://cecropia.com/theAct/index.html).
Anyway, they are about to launch their product and have a trial going at 5 locations in the Boston area (locations listed here (http://home.businesswire.com/portal/site/google/index.jsp?ndmViewId=news_view&newsId=20061005005552&newsLang=en)). I am dying to learn how the final product turned out... ...so... I am offering a $10 bounty to the first 3 people who can get to one of these locations, try the game and report back to me/us on this thread (I'll pay via paypal -- so hopefully you or someone you know has an account).
Let us know how it goes. This game is especially suited to appeal to non-gamers but so let us know in your review if you are normally a game player or not.
Thanks,
Joe J.
P.S. You can tell how important this is to me not only because I am offering real money but also because I almost never visit the Chit Chat forum. I cannot recall the last time I ever posted in the Chit-Chat forum yet alone started a thread in it. Excuse me, I have to go tack a shower now ;-)
