In Brief: Dedicated to the business of casual games, an industry that has grown dramatically. The event will be a one-day conference, the morning focusing on opportunities in the sector and what the future holds.
There will be two parts in the afternoon, with one exploring the lucrative potential of casual games and the other taking on a more technical, development-centric feel.
The Casual Games Forum has been designed with several aims in mind; to explore the business angles of this exciting market, but also to get under the skin of the more technical and practical aspects of developing casual games.
“As well as catering for those already involved in the sector, it’ll offer those waiting on the sidelines the chance to learn more and perhaps more importantly, give everyone the chance to network together, either as future partners or possible competitors.”

Paddlong is a newly released uVme black and white game based on the old classic-style Pong, which was one of the first computer game ever made. This should bring back memories to some of the more mature gamers out there. It appeared first in 1972 as a Atari game with paddles that were simple white lines and a white dot as a ball, based on table tennis (ping pong) it was the world first popular video game! Played both in the home on consoles and in arcades.
Paddlong has been added to the uVme classic section, which includes Sam serpent and Tetrablock.
Paddlong is played using the up and down arrow on the keyboard to move your paddle up and down, the key to playing paddlong is to hit the ball at an angle, this seems to be the best way to get the ball passed the opposing paddle. Although the Paddlong game has been updated and made much more fun and exciting to play, some things have not changed at all! I still seem to be rubbish at it! Must get back to some more practise…
