“Hey, did I mention there are the topless, or should that read ‘helpless’, women? Every woman in the game, other than A’Kanna, is chained to a wall or post, screaming to be released … and she has her breasts exposed.”

Did you know that the Australian game industry is over twenty years old and has been making international hits for decades?

For anyone in or close to Melbourne, be sure to come along to the ACMI this Sunday at 2pm where myself and Matt will chair a panel along with Jason Hill (Screenplay, The Age) and David Hewitt (Tantalus) about the everything to do with Aussie games, as part of the GAME ON exhibition. More details here and after the jump.

We'll be discussing a list of 10 selected Australian developed games over the last 20 years, as well as touching on questions such as what defines an Australian game, original vs licensed IP, and more. It should be great fun, I know I'm looking forward to it and I hope to see alot of local Melbourne based Australian Gamers there!

Oh, and we'll be in town Saturday night for anyone keen for some drinks. Not that many though, I want to be capable of speech and able to see without dark sunglasses. Times and venue to be decided in the forum, so voice your suggestions now!
