AM­PUTHE­ATRE is based on the hundreds of fighting video games that have been released in the last ten years. It is also inspired by the splatter-movie genre, in­cor­po­rat­ing characters and elements inspired from horror movies, books, comics and video games. It's Freddy versus Jason versus Pinhead versus Leather­face versus the Nightbreed versus Rawhead Rex versus that sexy zombie babe from "Return Of The Living Dead 3" sort of.

This is actually a really cool action figure fighting game. Gil is a friend of mine from my days at RIT, he's created all the prototype figures from pipeclean­ers, bits of other action figures, and pretty much anything else his demented mind comes up with. I've played it a couple of times and the concept is fairly simple, although each character has its own special rules. He is in the process of getting a company to mass produce plastic figures, and has playtested it at multiple gaming con­ven­tions (including Dragon*con in Atlanta at the end of August.) I'll be sure to let everyone know when the game is finally available for release.
