This Wednesday (8/29) at Works Gallery in Downtown San Jose, DoBox Recordings will help put on ‘Sidescroller’…a casual event to show off and let people play some of our favorite scrolling shooter video games (often known as ‘shmups ‘). We are big fans of this video game genre and we felt it needed a little push in these times of mostly first-person shooters, driving sims and RPGs. Nothing like a good ol’ shooter to work on that hand-eye coordination…not to mention we do think they have significant artistic value. There will be games from a range of different game platforms like MAME, Sony Playstation and Sega Dreamcast.
Sidescroller will be a free event, but donations to Works Gallery will always be appreciated. Please help to keep the gallery running. Hope to see you there !
