"Hilariously Unhinged" Return of the Original Classic Video Game Review Show


Pittsburgh, PA - June 19, 2007 - Inecom Entertainment Company announced today that preorders for its new film, Classic Game Room - The Rise and Fall of the Internet's Greatest Video Game Review Show, are being taken via major Internet retailers such as Amazon.com. The DVD will also be available in stores nationwide on Tuesday, August 28, 2007.

Classic Game Room was the first classic video game review show on the Internet in 1999 and 2000. It returns as a feature-length comedy film about the triumphant story of online success, failure, obscurity, resurrection and success again!

“Though the series may be no more, fans of the hilariously unhinged program can finally find out the truth about the rise and fall of Classic Game Room. Classic reviews of such games as Frogger, Duck Hunt, and Yar's Revenge highlight this nostalgic look back at the beer-soaked Internet start-up series that never took itself too seriously,” says Jason Buchanan of All Movie Guide.

The legendary show was produced in the early days of online video by Mark Bussler and David Crosson at an Internet startup with one camera, a green screen and $50 budgets. The show was objective, entertaining and obnoxious with beer-drinking, bottle-throwing, joystick-slinging, car-crashing classic game reviews. A cult following developed and the reviews kept coming, but how long could it last until the money ran out?

According to an April 2007 article by Lisa Baertlein for Reuters - “Retro games are back as parents introduce their offspring to the beloved games of their youth.” Classic Game Room dives into the hot retro segment of the video gaming industry by featuring their original raucous reviews of Duck Hunt for NES, Alien for Atari 2600, X-Men for Sega Genesis, Sega GT for Dreamcast, Joust and Missile Command for Playstation, Frogger for Atari 2600, SeaMan for Dreamcast, Perfect Dark for Nintendo 64 and Yars' Revenge for Atari 2600.

Special Features on the DVD include a feature-length commentary track with Writer/Director Mark Bussler, three blogs on production, a bonus review of Berzerk for the Atari 2600 and trailers for Bussler's historical documentaries: EXPO - Magic of the White City, Horses of Gettysburg and World War 1 - American Legacy. Horses of Gettysburg will be airing on nationwide public television and HDTV in July. Bussler's next project is a feature-length high definition film entitled Westinghouse, which focuses on George Westinghouse, his achievements, companies and his battle with Thomas Edison.

"Utterly Charming" Dr. Ravi & Mr. Hyde Now Available for Preorder and in Stores July 17th


Pittsburgh, PA - June 13, 2007 - Inecom Entertainment Company announced today that preorders for its new film, Dr. Ravi & Mr. Hyde, are being taken via major Internet retailers such as Amazon.com. The DVD will also be available in stores nationwide on Tuesday, July 17, 2007 and is already garnering positive reviews.

“Dr. Ravi & Mr. Hyde is enjoyable, fresh, funny, sincere and interesting - better than many other films I have seen. Utterly charming!”says Richard Lanoie of TheSeriousComedySite.com.

Dr. Ravi & Mr. Hyde is a comedy about a doctor who went to film school to make a film about being a doctor. Producer/Director Dr. Ravi Godse jokes, "Making movies is not brain surgery; it is more difficult than that!"

Like many men his age, Dr. Ravi finds himself halfway through his life having not yet achieved the greatness he anticipated. Sure, he could buy a sports car or find a hot, young babe to help him through his midlife crisis, but Dr. Ravi yearns for more. His search for divine fulfillment takes him from the halls of a hospital to what he believes is his true calling - directing and producing a true "timeless classic" motion picture.

On his journey, he must cope with unscrupulous agents, reluctant colleagues, an unenthusiastic wife and even the Mafia. From the streets of Pittsburgh to the sun-swept shores of South Africa, Dr. Ravi's search takes him near and far eventually bringing him to the realization that it's not important what he does or how well he does it, as long as he just does something.

Betty Jo Tucker of ReelTalkReviews.com says, "You’ll be charmed by Dr. Ravi. This delightful comedy offers simple pleasures not found in most of today’s mainstream releases. We get to know and love the main character (with all his faults); we hear lots of witty dialogue; and we’re reminded how important it is to nurture relationships as we work to achieve our own special 'greatness'."

Dr. Ravi & Mr. Hyde is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) for some rude humor. The film's ensemble cast also features American Radio Hall of Fame inductee and Sports Broadcasting legend Myron Cope and multiple Emmy-winning TV personality Dave Crawley.
