Today, in honor of Nintendo's 121st birthday, and as an homage to their 8-bit NES console that shaped the gaming industry, Michael Bleigh has designed and released a commemorative 8-bit version of our website. Many of our developers at Intridea grew up playing video games in the 80's and 90's and recall the hundreds of hours they spent playing Nintendo games with great fondness.

In 1985, Nintendo released the Nintendo Entertainment System, known simply as the NES, and breathed life back into the recently dismantled video game industry in North America. The video game "crash" of 1983, in which the world discovered the mediocrity of the console game development industry, both soured and ripened the soil, ensuring Nintendo's fated success.

At this year's Lone Star Ruby Conference, Intrideans Brendan, Pradeep, and Adam presented a full-day training, "Ruby Intrigue", in which they walked through the construction of three separate applications: a web crawler, an Asteroids clone, and an SMS server.

For the third straight year in a row, senior-level developers from the Intridea team will be at the Lonestar Ruby Conference, on Thursday, August 26th, teaching students about Ruby. Students attending the Ruby Intrigue class will work with our Director of Mobile Development, Brendan Lim, our Director of Development, Adam Bair, and our Director of Research and Development, Pradeep Elankumaran.
