eGameZone and Beljogos




Xtreme Games launched eGameZone Networks in late 2002. Finally, our 6 games were published in eGameZone. It was very gratifying to see that this became a reality.

But when our games were published, Alberto Hoshino was already devoting himself entirely to the medicine course at university.

I continued to study game programming and then founded a local group called Beljogos, with the goal of encourage the development of games in the state of Pará, northern Brazil.

Beljogos became the main reference on game development in the state of Pará. It serves as an integration point between students, professionals, universities and companies. The group is responsible for organizing the events about game development in the city of Belém, capital of Pará.




I'm also dedicated to preserving the history of game development. In recent events of game development in the city of Belém, I have done a small exhibition of old game machines such as Atari 2600 videogame, ZX Spectrum compatible computer and Nintendo 8-bit (NES). I have the complete collection of Input Magazine in Portuguese, which explains programming in BASIC and Assembly.

The image below is of one of the exhibitions that I did in 2012 with my son Lucas Romero.
