News Archive   NUON in the News Several new stories have recently surfaced on VM Labs' relatively un-hyped next-generation videogame console and DVD player, NUON. There is a story titled New NUON Information at Daily Radar, as well as a small story in the March issue of NextGen Magazine.   NUON, as you probably know, is a DVD enhancement technology developed by VM Labs, including a host of former Atari employees. The technology enhances DVD by enabling ultra-smooth scanning in both forward and reverse, and the most powerful viewer-controlled selective zoom with incredible clarity and effortless panning to pinpoint the portion of the scene you really want to see. Add to that the ability to play custom games. Games will include Tempest 3000 by Jeff Minter, as well as an updated Virtual Light Machine.   "The all-in-one DVD entertainment center for the whole family to enjoy is now a reality because of the NUON technology. NUON's compelling features will achieve mass market appeal and help drive sales for the overall DVD platform over the next few years." - Richard Miller, VM Labs CEO.   Visit the Official NUON Website for more information and screenshots.   Classic Gaming Expo 2000™ Scheduled for July 29-30, 2000! Are you nostalgic about Atari, Intellivision, Apple II or Odyssey? Do you appreciate the accomplishments of programmers, hardware engineers and executives that brought you many hours of enjoyment in front of the TV, monitor or at the arcades? If you like to play classic games, want to mingle with legendary pioneers, or shop for bargain collectables, then you don't want to miss Classic Gaming Expo 2000™.   CGE'99 Recap You can now read my recap of the Classic Gaming Expo '99 on the CGE'99 Recap page. It was a truly memorable event, and I look forward to the Classic Gaming Expo 2000!   "The list of 'alumni' who actually attended was astounding and marked the first time that such an amazing group of talent was in one place at the same time outside of a CES or E3 exhibition." - Leonard Herman, GameSpot News   You can also read about CGE'99 in the November issue of NextGen magazine.   The Return of ATARI The June '99 issue of Next Generation Magazine has a story about Hasbro Interactive's plan to restore the Atari name to its former glory. Included in the story are screenshots of the upcoming releases of Q*bert, Pong, Missile Command, and the recently released Centipede. The reviews of the upcoming games are very positive, stating that the core gameplay of the originals has remained intact.   "We're taking ownership of the Atari brand seriously; we know there are a lot of Atari fans, and we don't want to disappoint them." - Rich Cleveland, director of marketing, Hasbro Interactive   GOTCHA I have recently been selected to be a GOTCHA committee member! GOTCHA stands for Gaming Obsession Throughout Computer History Award and was created in 1999 to pay homage to the greatest personal computer games of all time.
