The greatest contribution that the first iteration of Avant Gaming made to the gaming community was the Avant Game List. It was a list of games that “that in a certain time and place, by design, modification or accident, offer a unique experience of play through the subversion of mainstream conventions.”

As I have had more than a few emails asking what happened to it, I apologize for the time it is taking to reconstruct this resource. My goal is to repopulate the list with its old entries, as well as, add new titles. Personally, it is turning out to be an interesting experience. In revisiting this old content, I’m forced to reconsider the validity of my previous arguments. There have been a couple “What the hell was I thinking”’s.

The first entry on the new list is an oldie but goodie, Jim Andrew’s Arteroids. In revisiting the material, I was pleased to learn that Jim has continued development on the piece and the game is progressing nicely.

So without further adieu, Arteroids has been added to the Avant Game List.
