Pier Solar and the Great Architects
September 7, 2008
Scoping out Digitpress this week I happened to discover this little gem in the making, Pier Solar, an all-new RPG in development for the Sega Genesis. Watermelon, a homebrew publishing and development house, is hard at work making this top-notch looking adventure slated to infiltrate the cobwebbed confines of your Genesis this Christmas.
The game is available now for preorder at the official Pier Solar site. One of the most interesting things about this release is the limited edition posterity offer, which allows you to have your name in the credits of the game and manual, and also comes packed with a Sega CD disc which allows you to play your game with a hi-fi soundtrack. Be quick to order though, as preorders for the posterity pack end October 29th, or when they reach 500 copies.
Anyone curious about this stellar looking adventure should make it a point to download the demo available in the media section of the games official site. This is definitely a title to keep an eye on, and we'll be bringing more details as the game gets closer to its scheduled December 24th release.

The Doctor is in
August 31, 2008
Just a quick pre-holiday update. Every Robot's favorite friend, Dr. Graffin, has added another episode of his Rob's World series to the site, which you can find in the bargain bin section of the site. The latest epsiode is actually the series original pilot, detailing a grueling match of wits, one-liners, and wet rags in an epic match of Tecmo Superbowl. Be sure to check it out, and stay tuned for upcoming episodes here at Heypoorplayer.com

Construction Time Again
August 27, 2008
Again I have to apologize for the fact it has taken so long to get the ball rolling. Things have been pretty busy over here in the land of Deadpixels and finding time to update has been surprisingly difficult. Hopefully this update will be a proper kick in the ass to finally get things up and running on a somewhat regular basis.
There's a few things that I've wanted to mention so I'll start with the most exciting one. A few weeks ago we added the Bargain Bin section to the site. Bargain Bin is dedicated to various contributions and hijinks that I hope you will enjoy reading. Our first article is something I'm very proud to host, a sitcom featuring the misadventures of everyones favorite failed peripheral, R.O.B. the Robot. Dr. Graffin, our newest contributor has posted his first story for everyone to check out, and we'll be bringing you more in the near future. So stay tuned for a Gyro-mighty fine time! (Kill me)
Another thing I wanted to mention is that the longest running gaming expo on the East Coast is fast approaching. That's right, Too Many Games is set to kick off its second showing of the year on October 18th. The May venue was a blast and this one looks to be even better, with more competitions, vendors, and floorspace than before. Be sure to check out the official site at www.toomanygames.com
Also, don't forget to check out the pictures of last May's convention in the Expo's section of Heypoorplayer.com
Lastly, I hope to get some more reviews added to the Past_Pixels section in the near future. The next review will be Splatterhouse: Wanpaku Graffiti for the Famicom. Expect some video this time around showcasing some of the games more hilarious moments.
That's all for now, stay tuned for more in the coming days.
