The MO5.COM association has the great pleasure of announcing that George Armstrong Custer, cavalry general, hero of the Civil War and unwitting protagonist of the classic Custer's Revenge, has just joined the association as a posthumous honorary member.
If he were still alive, he would consider our initiative necessary and welcome and would offer us his support. There is no doubt that the support of such a personality from the world of video games will help us to make ourselves known and develop.
Born December 5, 1839 in New Rumley (Ohio), George Custer of course distinguished himself during numerous battles (Gettysburg, Winchester, Cedar Creek, etc.) before dying heroically during that of Little Big Horn, June 25, 1876. But the general will remain above all in the history books for his involuntary contribution to video games in Custer's Revenge, the true swan song of the Atari VCS 2,600 when it was released in 1982. Sold 80,000 copies, it was the biggest success of its prestigious publisher, Mystique. “We are very excited – well, maybe not as much as General Custer in the game – at the idea of sealing our legacy with that of the MO5.COM association” explains its former CEO, who wished to remain anonymous in all humility.

“Our company has a long history – almost an entire year – of fun and cultural creations whose educational nature corresponds perfectly to the heritage mission of MO5.COM. As a true cornerstone of our work, Custer’s Revenge deserved this great honor more than any other. This dark, daring and interactive rereading of the legendary life of Pocahontas has clearly contributed to promoting interracial love and the resolution of conflicts without firearms, to raising awareness among young people to better choose the games they buy, and above all, it has modestly promoted the momentous event in the history of video games that was the crash of 1983. » « It is undoubtedly the happiest day of my life, says Philippe Dubois, president of the association. MO5.COM. “I have never been this happy since the Amiga ST announcement, two years ago to the day. »
And you, why not become a member of MO5.COM too?
