Tuesday, May 05, 2009 Chronicles of Arcadia: The Forgotten World - May 5th, 2009 Category: Games Ottumwa, Iowa. Do you recognize this place? Chances are you don't. It is the origins of competitive gaming and it is the birth place of Twin Galaxies. It took over a quarter century for Walter Day's pioneering efforts to reach this cilmatic point where history for gamers around the world will be made. In an effort to re-establish officially the Captail of Gaming in the world, Chris Hoeksema of Ottumwa, Iowa, Billy Mitchell and Walter Day have joined forces to pitch claim to the state of Ottumwa, Iowa that it is indeed the Video Game Capital of the World. MSNBC Coverage of this left a vote to see where the interest of the gamers around the nation lie on this matter to push for Ottumwa's claim. I urge gamers around the world who read this help out by voting and passing this information on to your friends gamers or not to help in the vote. They want Ottumwa, Iowa to be the home to the Video Game Hall of Fame and we can help make it happen.
