Introduction...
WHAT is The Voyager Crusade? The
concept is simple, it is to design and
program an original, innovative, but
above all playable game using the
technology from the golden age of
video gaming. Nowadays game designers
have 3d graphics, FMV and surround
sound to play with, and too often we
see games that look fantastic, but
lack that all important holy grail of
gamingEplayability. This is a
challenge to all up-and-coming game
designersEshow us you can still do it!
The Voyager Crusade is the brainchild
of Jonathan Thompson aka "JT", the man
behind the "Voyager" arcade cabinets
and game systems . The company
supplies game machines to many top
retailers, including Firebox.com and
Selfridges & Co. The machines are also
popular with celebrities, you can find
Voyager cabinets in the homes of
several Hollywood stars, and David
Beckham recently took delivery of his
very own custom gold cabinet ! You'll
find Voyager cabinets everywhere,
museums, film premieres, exhibitions
and more traditional venues like
hotels and pubs and night clubs
including the well known Cult TV chain
clubs "FAB CAFI".
