Video Game: The Story of Watergate pixel and online
A video game has just made its appearance on the canvas, "Watergate: the video game" takes the famous Watergate, keeping a few liberties with history. The return of Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein ... pixilated!
This is a video game that will not go unnoticed: not for its graphics and aesthetic qualities, but rather for his subject that interests many. This small online video game takes us back to one of the biggest political scandals of the 70s, in the United States. This game is intended as educational methodically traces this case emerged boxes for 2.0 revival.
So you are in June 1972. You are Bob Woodward and you are a young reporter for 29 years. You work for the Washington Post, you built last year. The story begins and looks like a mini movie in pixels which you are the hero.
The graphics are told that minimizes labor but gives a vintage feel to this story that takes place in another era. The principle of point and click may annoy some, but you have to see this game as a collector's item.
This game, produced in six months, is the brainchild of writer and humorist Samuel Kim. He explained to our colleagues blog Mother Board, hosted in Vice, how he came up with the idea of this game: "We drank a drink with a friend and remembered old video games, such as" Man-child "80 years, and the idea sprang from a casual joke:" Hey, there should be a sequel to Shadowgate called Watergate! "".
This video game should appeal to journalists, historians, archivists, curious, retrogamers (with nods to Zelda) ... In short, a gem that is good in a world turned instead to the race where special effects were tend to forget the main ingredient of a good video game: the scenario. Here, at the plot and twists, it is rather served. The authors are permitted when some liberties with history, not to sink into trouble. The idea is clear: alternate history and bloodshed.
