Brian A. Jackson, as Creative Design Director, helped create BCFX, “The Black College Football Experience” video game by Nerjyzed Entertainment. “This is the first game that captures the essence, the spirit, and the culture of Black College Football.” Jackson told students, alumni, and others during the 3 month, 30 schools, 12 classic/homecoming events, promotional tour. “The atmosphere has been great. Every time someone hops on the (road tour) bus and gets the controller in their hands, they have a fun experience. We not only immerse the user in a fun and challenging football game, but we surround that with the spirit and essence of Black College Football. From the Band Music in the stands, to the user interactive halftime show, to the band music in the 5th quarter and the jukebox, the user really feels as though they are not only playing a video game, but they are at the game itself.” Jackson added.
