In his post-wrestling career, Patterson returned to his roots as a hardcore gamer, which is almost as hardcore as his wrestling days. From 1998 to 2006, Patterson wrestled under the name of Scott Phoenix (he still goes by Scott, or PSP) on smaller American wrestling tours. It's a small project today, but one that could, with a few other fledgling museum-style video game projects, facilitate the historical preservation video games need.Īs you can tell from the pictures below, Patrick Scott Patterson has an imposing physical presence for a gamer. One man has taken it upon himself to do just that by creating the Registry of Historic Gaming Locations. For them, games will likely mean more than they do-even to us. It's not just the games themselves, but the places and people that made them possible that should be cataloged and preserved for the future generations of gamers. Games have been around for more than half a century and have already developed a rich physical history, but it's one that's horribly documented and scarcely considered by its own adherents, let alone outsiders.

It’s a truly satisfying game, even for those who haven’t seen the movie.Īfter its release, the game amassed a cult following. The game based on the movie follows a classic retro-style beat ’em up formula and has several nostalgic chiptune sounds and pixelated visuals. Each evil ex has their own comic style superpowers or quirks and the funny bit is that while trying to win Ramona Flower’s affections, he is not told about how dangerous the exes are and is thrust down a dangerous path he never anticipated. It centers on, you guessed it, Scott Pilgrim who must defeat his new girlfriend’s seven evil exes in order to win her heart. For those unfamiliar with the Scott Pilgrim universe, it started as a graphic novel series before becoming a movie and then a video game.
