Whoever said its hard to make games has never met Cassie. This
five-year-old girl, along with her father, designed a point and
click adventure game in just a single weekend. Sissys Magical
Ponycorn Adventure has since been played worldwide and has been
nominated for several awards.

Best point-n-click adventure Ive played in a long time,
gushes Ron Gilbert, famed creator of the games Manic Manson and The
Secret of Monkey Island.

If youve been unfortunate enough not to see this deliciously
fun game yet, now is your chance. The Digital Game Museum will be
exhibiting the game at this years Maker Faire, May 19th and 20th,
at the San Mateo Fairgrounds. The Digital Game Museum focuses on
the preservation and celebration of classical gaming, examining
everything from arcade games in Japan to the birth of computer
games right here in the USA. This year, they have chosen to
highlight Cassies magical masterpiece. The game will be playable
on large screens, and information about the game and its birth will
be readily available. The exhibit will also feature merchandise,
real Ponycorns, and original art from the creator herself. This
game is quickly finding itself a place in gaming history, and the
museum is welcoming it with open arms.

If Ponycorns seem a little too sweet for your tastes, the
Digital Game Museum has other ways to explore the world of gaming.
Another exhibits will feature the history of adventure gaming and
will offer playable demos. Discover games by LucasArts and Sierra,
from a time where point and click was a major category in gaming.
To get more into the nuts and bolts of games, other exhibits will
feature manuals and diagrams of how certain games are put together.
Look at how the museum takes care of these too often forgotten
relics and enjoy games of yesteryear.

Truly, there is an indulgence for every sort of gamer here.
Whether the focus is gaming in history, playing, or the mechanics,
visitors will be able to find something to immerse themselves in at
the Digital Game Museum booth.
