Two things struck me as odd about Good Old Games’ booth on the PAX show floor: one, that they were doing well enough to afford such an elaborate setup (hey, dealing in retro games isn’t exactly the most profitable business model), and two, that they hired a kindly old grandma to dispense cookies and perhaps valuable folk wisdom for those that stuck around.
I didn’t grab any cookies — my stomach was currently occupied by a horrible pastry hastily consumed in line for the keynote speech — but I was pleased to see Good Old Games showing the youth of today that senior citizens can be active members of today’s workforce. And if that kindly old woman had any hand in the recent GOG re-released Dungeon Keeper 2, there’s an unsolicited shoulder-rub in her future.
