Anomura, a gaming experience fusing wildlife conservation awareness through compelling gameplay, partners with Atari, a founding member of the arcade game, game console, and personal computer industries. This is a mutual opportunity to showcase the capabilities of both the gaming industries and blockchain technology. Through this partnership, Atari creates an exclusive mint experience for Anomura integrating assets from games like Asteroids®, Adventure™, PONG®, Centepede®, Atari Arcade, Atari 2600, and more while also exploring future in-game integration of elements and games to explore interoperability within Anomura and beyond.

Atari evokes nostalgia as one of the first at-home gaming systems created in 1977. The Atari 2600 became one of the most popular gaming systems in history, with sales of over 30 million over the span of three decades. In recent years, Atari has entered the blockchain gaming space by launching Atari X, a robust blockchain ecosystem that intertwines gaming, community, and utility. Atari X consolidates Atari’s blockchain interests into a unified operation that is wholly controlled by Atari.

Anomura leverages its retro style to help facilitate Atari’s push into the forward-looking world of Web3 gaming. In celebration, Anomura will be increasing its NFT supply by 800 to provide additional opportunities for minting. The scheduled launch date for this collection sale is September 13, 2022, with a mint price of 0.075 ETH.

Created and built by NFT Game Director Long Do, Anomura is the by-product of years of research that combines experiences Do has encountered as both a developer and longtime gamer himself. Anomura sits under the wing of Virtually Human Studios (VHS), creators of ZED RUN. VHS continues diving into supporting projects promoting accessibility and inclusivity in the Web3 space. The entertainment brand’s recent launch of Human Park—a metaverse experience with extremely low entry barriers—was its first venture into bridging the gap between the masses and Web3, and the backing of Anomura continues the trend.

“Anomura is proud to be the bridge between the original gaming console and blockchain gaming,“ says Long Do, Game Director of Anomura. “ By partnering with a gaming giant like Atari, we hope to build a completely new gaming adventure. We hope to leverage Anomura’s unique style with Atari’s technology to create the most immersive in-game experience that pushes forward the gaming industry.”

“Fans of Atari will love to see their favorite classic games integrated into Anomura’s Web3 games,” says Tyler Drewitz, Director of Atari Xof Atari X. “We are excited to collaborate with Anomura as they create the next generation of blockchain gaming.”

Jack Butland has called on Rangers fans to show their support for tackling homelessness in Glasgow and sign-up for the Rangers Big Ibrox Sleep Outs – which encourages Rangers fans to sleep out at Ibrox.

On Friday 14th and Saturday 15th November, Rangers fans will brave the elements and get a glimpse of the nightly conditions those who are street homeless face. As part of their support of the event, 32Red will contribute the first £10 to every participant to kickstart their fundraising.

Jack Butland said: “Over the last 10 years, the Big Ibrox Sleep Outs have made a huge impact on tackling homelessness in Glasgow. These kind of initiatives are invaluable and the work both Rangers Charity Foundation and 32Red do for these is amazing. As a Club and as players we understand the importance of the community work off the pitch as well as on it and we are proud of our supporters for continuing to take on this challenge or support those who are doing it to help people who don’t have a home to call their own”

Half of the funds raised from the Sleep Outs will benefit the work of Glasgow City Mission and Simon Community Scotland, with the other half going to support the Rangers Charity Foundation’s life-changing work in the community. Those who attend the Friday 14th Sleep Out will also receive a complimentary ticket to Rangers v Celtic Women’s at Ibrox prior to sleeping out.

Glasgow City Mission’s Winter Project is committed to providing people with routes out of rough sleeping and ensuring that they have access to a bed. Glasgow City Mission is the world’s first City Mission and has been at the forefront of compassionate care for the city’s marginalised since 1826.

Simon Community Scotland believes everyone deserves a safe place to live. They provide information, care, support, accommodation and homes to people experiencing or at risk of homelessness.

This season, the donation from the Sleep Outs to Simon Community Scotland will help to provide basics such as winter clothing (jackets, hats, scarves and gloves) and moving in packs which contain essentials for a new home, as well as supporting the charity’s Connect Hub for women experiencing homelessness.

David Henson, Supporter Engagement and Events Executive, Rangers Charity Foundation said: “Our supporters have been incredible over the last decade, raising over £358,000 for homeless charities via the Big Ibrox Sleep Outs, as well as additional funds for the Foundation’s own work in the community and with its charity partners. They have really taken this particular cause to heart. I think homelessness is something many of us see in the city every day, so it really struck a chord with fans and the Sleep Outs were a great way to get involved and do something positive while at the same time having the experience of spending the night in our iconic Stadium. We hope our 11th annual Sleep Outs continue to be a huge success and help two vital causes working to end homelessness in Glasgow.”

Elyse MacKinnon, Project Manager, Glasgow City Mission Winter Project, said: “The support of the Rangers Charity Foundation over the past decade has been incredible! It has allowed us to expand the winter project and having that extra month each winter has allowed us to support so many people who would have been at risk of rough sleeping. The Rangers supporters have managed to raise just under £277,000 for Glasgow City Mission alone over the years. To the fans who have taken part over the last decade and the ones who are going to do it this year, I truly just want to say thank you. It’s amazing what the supporters of the Foundation do, and it’s incredible that ten years later they are still supporting the winter project.”

Murray Easton, Head of Fundraising and Communications, Simon Community Scotland said: “The support of the Rangers Charity Foundation has been amazing, as its support we can reply upon. More people are homeless in Scotland now than ever before and we are at the frontline of that. The last winter was the most challenging we have experienced as a charity – the weather, the number of people rough sleeping or coming into our Hub looking for all kinds of support. To know that we’ve got regular support from the Rangers Charity Foundation is so important.”

Since 2015, the Sleep Outs have in total raised £358,500 for the community and tackling homelessness. Through their ongoing support, 32Red have contributed over £56,000 towards the events and continually support the work of the Foundation and their charitable initiatives.

Adam Gaskell, Head of UK Brand Marketing, FDJ United said: “We are continuing our support of the Big Ibrox Sleep Out by once again contributing the first £10 of sponsorship to every participant. This is an initiative we’ve been proud to support for many years as it aligns with our overall brand message of helping the local community and giving back. We want to thank everyone who has signed up so far and for supporting such a worthy cause. We hope that we can raise a lot of money to help those experiencing or at risk of homelessness”

Joining the business are Dimitris Papamichael as commercial director and Luke Watkin as marketing director – both in newly created roles. They come in alongside a full C-suite and a full team of new tech hires that continues a recruitment drive which began in 2023 – and reflects Quantum’s rapid and consistent growth throughout the last five years.

Papamichael will be responsible for all revenue-generating activities across the business in a pivotal leadership role.

He’ll also lead an expanding team of commercial and sales managers.

As marketing director, he’ll be instrumental in shaping Quantum’s marketing vision, building scalable systems, and delivering commercial impact as it expands into new markets. Watkin will build and mentor a high-performing marketing team and is also tasked with driving further recruitment.

Speaking of the appointments and new strategic direction, CMO James McCarthy said: “It’s a pleasure to welcome Dimitris and Luke to Quantum during what is undoubtedly a really fascinating time in our growth. From cementing our relationship with some of iGaming’s biggest names to helping us expand into exciting new sectors, both of our new Directors will be integral to the continued success of the business.”

Papamichael said: “I’m thrilled to be joining Quantum at such an exciting stage of its incredible growth journey. The company has already achieved so much, and there’s huge potential ahead as we expand into new markets and sectors. I can’t wait to work with the exceptionally talented team here to seize the many opportunities ahead and drive the next phase of growth.”

Watkin said: “I am delighted to join a business with such a proven track record of excellence in its core markets, as well as highly ambitious plans for strategic expansion into new markets and territories. I am looking forward to contributing towards building on the exceptional progress the team has made to date, and accelerating that growth in the years ahead.”
