Ex-Activision Designers Launch Retro Game Publisher Audacity Gamesª

Legendary Video Game Designers to Publish New Retro Games

 

Danville, CA: Today, former Activision Co-Founder David Crane and ex-Activision Game Designers Garry and Dan Kitchen announced that they have partnered to form Audacity Games, Inc., a video game publisher focused on designing and publishing boxed game products for a variety of retro game systems, starting with the Atari¨ 2600ª Video Computer Systemª.

 

"With the popularity of retro video games, we saw an opportunity to create new titles for these still popular systems", Audacity Games co-founder Garry Kitchen said, "and it gives us all a chance to design games again for the platforms that helped launch our careers."  Co-founder David Crane added, "For years our fans have been asking us to create new games.  We heard you, and have decided to do just that.  I have always said that I have as much fun making games as others do playing them, and the retro game systems are my favorites."

 

About Retro Gaming: Retro Gaming is a movement to preserve, collect, and enjoy games and game consoles from a simpler time when video games were easy to understand and fun to play.  Retro games demonstrate that a game can provide hours of enjoyment without using the latest technology.  The buyer of a retro game gets to own a physical part of gaming history rather than a download of a license that can expire at any time.  Each of Audacity GamesÕ products were authored by original retro game designers, designed to be fun to play, and come as physical game cartridges in a collectible box.

 

About Audacity Games Inc.: Audacity Games is a premium retro-game publisher founded by legendary game designers David Crane, Garry Kitchen and Dan Kitchen.  Every game produced by Audacity Gamesª is manufactured to order, and each copy is customized with a unique serial number.  Every game connects to the internet through your connected mobile device for registering high scores, gives the player a chance to earn a physical high score patch like those from the golden era of 2600 games, and comes in a full-color box with colored label and printed manual to add to your game collection.

 

About the founders: David Crane, one of the most successful video game designers of all time, is best known for his smash hits PITFALL!ª, DRAGSTERª and GHOSTBUSTERSª to name just a few.  Garry Kitchen's work spans five decades of successes with such hits as KEYSTONE KAPERSª, PRESSURE COOKERª and the Atari¨ 2600ª version of DONKEY KONGª.  Dan Kitchen rounds out the trio with over 40 years of game design experience creating such games as CRACKPOTSª, and the Atari¨ 2600ª versions of KUNG-FU MASTER and GHOSTBUSTERSª.
