More Scenes from ScreenBurn Arcade

It was a busy weekend here at this year’s ScreenBurn Arcade. Free and open to the public, SB Arcade was THE place to be for gamers at Interactive this year–badge or no badge. Wizards of the Coast, GameCock and GameTap had product demos and representatives out in full force, while the Championship Gaming Series arena gave the Arcade a perpetual “finale-of-The Wizard” feel. Speaking of vintage gaming, GameTap kept the Capcom revelry raging inside their Arcade booth. You could practically smell the year 1991!

Wizards of the Coast’s exhibit had tables where you could bust out Magic: The Gathering cards, as well as reps on hand to talk about their Dungeons and Dragons MMO and still-in-alpha social networking/RPG site Gleemax. Who knows how social networking/online worlds would have evolved without Dungeons and Dragons? After all, pointed out WOTC’s Jeremiah Isgur, “Dungeons and Dragons was the original user-generated game. Lots of MMOs are based on the rules of D&D.” (RIP, Gygax.)
