Emulator #1

“Calvin Jones plays a lot of video games. His dad, Victor, is a busy police officer on the New Kingsdale force. Calvin’s mom died two years ago. Instead of talking about their pain, the two lose themselves in play and work.”

The latest release of Lionheart 3: Revenge of Doctor Maelstrom sees Calvin and his friends, Russ and Dan, skipping school to play. During a heated discussion about whose turn it is, something goes wrong and the villain, Doctor Maelstrom, blows out of the game and into Calvin’s basement. Now, they must find a way to return Maelstrom to the game world, but the game keeps crashing, and Victor is concerned about this new terror on the streets of New Kingsdale.

Emulator looks at family trauma through a video game lens. While Calvin must summon his bravery to face a video game villain made real, he and his father need to face their past to save their future.

What have folks said about it?

"Emulator seems to pull right from my memories of racing my siblings home from the bus stop to get to the games first. Yanking the cord out of the console didn't set the game's big bad loose and only summoned an annoyed parent threatening to not replace any broken controllers, but the story and characters are hitting that happy warm gooey center of nostalgia. I'm eager to see where this adventure takes them."
