The Dialog Box: This is the Remix!

What's Good, Neighborhood? Been a hot minute since the last blog post, huh? Not gonna lie, I feel kinda bad that we've gone 4 months since. However, today's posting is for a good reason. Let's rap about it, shall we?

As gamers, when we hang with our friends IRL or online, there is one conversation that inevitably comes up. The topic can be summed up as: "Man, I wish X game would be remade!"

More often than not, the conversation continues further with discussion of how certain things about said beloved game could be retooled for current generation hardware, mechanics, and audiovisual technology/techniques. Considering that these conversations can get pretty lengthy and the number of classic, currently vaulted, games that most players (especially Your Favorite 90s Kid, aka me) would love to see again is exhaustive, to say the least, I'm starting an initiative in this little corner of the internet.

Let's get these ideas out there or posterity. Let's start these discussions and put them together in a place where we can all gather and find them easily! Public square style! We'll call it...

"The Retro Remix."

This will be a forum where we can all get creative and, at the same time, rekindle the great memories of our favorite games. A place where we can focus our efforts on being happy. Like how arcades back in the 90s were great social hubs for gamers. So, with the forum setup for this, let's lay out a road map.

Each game and each remix submission will be its own blog post. This way, we can have an easier time keeping discussion of the remixes on-topic. Full submissions can be as in depth as the author wants and multiple remixes of the same game are allowed. I mean, the way I'D like to see a game remade may not be the same as how one of you folks would want to see it.

I'll be accepting submissions via email at BlazingAceGames@gmail.com. Be sure to include a social media handle of your choice (Twitter, Twitch, PSN, etc) in the subject bar along with the hashtag #RetroRemix so I can give you credit when I upload them. I'll be sure to notify folks on every platform I can to bring the party to you.

Let's use this to really bring our community together and showcase the talent that I know is within all of us.
