The Ubisoft Game Lab Competition is a contest that invites students from Quebec universities to develop, in 10 weeks, playable video game prototypes that respond to the theme, mandate and constraints provided by a jury of Ubisoft professionals.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cTell me what arcade game thou playeth, and I shall tell you who thou art.\u201d With the 13th annual<\/a>\u00a0Ubisoft Game Lab Competition<\/a>\u00a0being all about arcades, we were dying to know the games that our jury and mentors used to play.<\/p>\n

I was really impressed by\u00a0Contra<\/em>. I used to play this game from the age of 13 to 16. I had fun playing against\u00a0all<\/em>\u00a0my friends.\u201d<\/p>\n

I\u2019d say\u00a0Mortal Kombat 2<\/em>\u00a0or\u00a0Top Gun<\/em>\u00a0(the entire series). Multiplayer games are always way better in my opinion!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me it was\u00a0Virtua Cop<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time<\/em>. My brother and I would play them for hours in the 1990s and 2000s. Both were multiplayer games that forced us to work together to win! They are some of my best memories, even though I was never able to last long without my brother\u2019s help.\u201d<\/p>\n

Linna Lim \u2013 Gameplay Programmer<\/strong>
\nMentor for a McGill University team<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cSpace Invaders! The first time I played was at the Game On exhibit at the Science Centre with my best friend back in 2015. The concept is crazy simple, and it gets harder as you go. When you lose at some point, you just want to start over to beat your record!\u201d<\/p>\n

Alexander Kurth \u2013 Generalist Programmer
\n<\/strong>Mentor for a Universit\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec \u00e0 Chicoutimi team<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, I\u2019d say the game Nidhogg. I used to play it in between classes with my classmates to unwind or just to get to know each other. The combat system is easy to learn but difficult to master, which makes each game quite unique. The game is an emotional roller coaster: you could lose the game\u2014or lose a friendship\u2014at any given moment.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We would like to thank our mentors for playing along and for making us want to get back to those good old classics! This should keep us waiting until we discover the winning games at the Game Lab Competition<\/a>, during the grand finale on May 4th!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
