Slain teacher's family launches suit aimed at media violence a Denver Post.com article about an action stemming from the Columbine school shooting a couple of years ago that says "Linda Sanders, wife of slain teacher Dave Sanders, and two of his stepdaughters filed a multibillion-dollar, class-action lawsuit Thursday against 25 media companies, most of which manufacture or distribute video games." The article also describes a letter sent to John Carmack by the lawyer for the family of a student injured in the shooting asking he "prohibit the sale and distribution of all video games rated for mature audiences to children under 17 - and to do it by April 30," going on to point out that the statute of limitations on that family's right to sue won't expire until the victim turns 18 this June. Nintendo of America is the only company specifically named as a defendant in the suit, and the lawyer for the family that wrote to John Carmack (which is unrelated to the lawsuit) is Florida attorney Jack Thomson, who helped file the federal lawsuit against dozens of entertainment companies following the 1997 school shooting in Paducah, KY.

I'm sure that anyone who is old enough to remember Commander Keen (John Carmack and id software's first game), will like this. I am posting a press release from Id Software and Activision:

Santa Monica, CA ­ March 01, 2000­ id Software and Activision, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) are teaming up this spring to release Commander Keen, an action-packed, comedic quest to save the cosmos for the Game Boy Color. Commander Keen is rated “E,” for “Everyone,” by the ESRB.

Commander Keen marks a return to id Software's roots -- developing over-the-top, comic book-style adventure games for kids. Based on id's original Commander Keen series on the PC, Commander Keen finds precocious 8-year-old superhero Billy Blaze on an all-new quest to save the world from his alien adversaries, the Droidiccus, Shikadia and Bloogs of Fribbulus Xax.

“Commander Keen shows a kinder, gentler side of id Software,” Todd Hollenshead, CEO, id Software said. “Like the original Commander Keen adventures, this is a game that appeals to the spunky 8-year-old hero in all of us ­ putting the 'id' back in 'kid.'”

But no one said saving the world before bedtime would be easy. A side scrolling platform game, Commander Keen challenges players to save the world by finding super-powerful plasma crystals hidden on three separate alien worlds. Each world contains several multi-level maps rife with progressively precarious puzzles. Throughout the adventure, Keen will encounter more than 35 different aliens as well as puzzles, slime pits, magical platforms, secret rooms and teleporters.

“An undisputed classic, the original Commander Keen games combined excellent level design and platform action for an unforgettable gameplay experience,” said Larry Goldberg, executive vice president, Activision Worldwide Studios. “Our goal with Commander Keen for the Game Boy Color is to bring this incredibly satisfying and addictive experience to a whole new generation of console gamers.”

Commander Keen for the Game Boy Color is being developed by David A. Palmer Productions for Activision and id Software.
