As a kid, before video games were in every home, me and my buddies would create our own games out in the park or on the driveway. [As I recall, most involved a Super Ball...]
Anyway, I read recently where some Chicagoland entrepreneurs are trying to help a game they created -- Spikeball -- catch on. If nothing else, looks like it might be a fun game for the beach.
Now, generating some buzz on the beach about a new game and having it develop into a institutionalized sport are two different things. But it's encouraging to see that there are people out there who are still creating new games (even if they're not wearing Toughskins). -- CA
