  • A History of Video Game Consoles Introduction the First Generation
    A History of Video Game Consoles By Terry Amick – Gerald Long – James Schell – Gregory Shehan Introduction Today video games are a multibillion dollar industry. They are in practically all American households. They are a major driving force in electronic innovation and development. Though, you would hardly guess this from their modest beginning. The first video games were played on mainframe computers in the 1950s through the 1960s (Winter, n.d.). Arcade games would be the first glimpse for the general public of video games. Magnavox would produce the first home video game console featuring the popular arcade game Pong for the 1972 Christmas Season, released as Tele-Games Pong (Ellis, n.d.). The First Generation Magnavox Odyssey Rushed into production the original game did not even have a microprocessor. Games were selected by using toggle switches. At first sales were poor because people mistakenly believed you needed a Magnavox TV to play the game (GameSpy, n.d., para. 11). By 1975 annual sales had reached 300,000 units (Gamester81, 2012). Other manufacturers copied Pong and began producing their own game consoles, which promptly got them sued for copyright infringement (Barton, & Loguidice, n.d.). The Second Generation Atari 2600 Atari released the 2600 in 1977. Although not the first, the Atari 2600 popularized the use of a microprocessor and game cartridges in video game consoles. The original device had an 8-bit 1.19MHz 6507 microprocessor (“The Atari”, n.d.), two joy sticks, a paddle controller, and two game cartridges. Combat and Pac Man were included with the console. In 2007 the Atari 2600 was inducted into the National Toy Hall of Fame (“National Toy”, n.d.).

  • Console Games in the Age of Convergence
    Console Games in the Age of Convergence Mark Finn Swinburne University of Technology John Street, Melbourne, Victoria, 3122 Australia +61 3 9214 5254 mfi [email protected] Abstract In this paper, I discuss the development of the games console as a converged form, focusing on the industrial and technical dimensions of convergence. Starting with the decline of hybrid devices like the Commodore 64, the paper traces the way in which notions of convergence and divergence have infl uenced the console gaming market. Special attention is given to the convergence strategies employed by key players such as Sega, Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft, and the success or failure of these strategies is evaluated. Keywords Convergence, Games histories, Nintendo, Sega, Sony, Microsoft INTRODUCTION Although largely ignored by the academic community for most of their existence, recent years have seen video games attain at least some degree of legitimacy as an object of scholarly inquiry. Much of this work has focused on what could be called the textual dimension of the game form, with works such as Finn [17], Ryan [42], and Juul [23] investigating aspects such as narrative and character construction in game texts. Another large body of work focuses on the cultural dimension of games, with issues such as gender representation and the always-controversial theme of violence being of central importance here. Examples of this approach include Jenkins [22], Cassell and Jenkins [10] and Schleiner [43]. 45 Proceedings of Computer Games and Digital Cultures Conference, ed. Frans Mäyrä. Tampere: Tampere University Press, 2002. Copyright: authors and Tampere University Press. Little attention, however, has been given to the industrial dimension of the games phenomenon.

In this chapter: • What Is a Game? • 1960s: The Birth of Games • 1970s: The Rise of Arcade Games • 1980s: The Crash and Recovery • 1990s: The Console Wars • 2000s: Online Games and Beyond 1.1 Introduction For well over 4,000 years, games have been a part of the human experience. But given the myriad games and variants that have been designed, how does one define a game? One might describe a game as a play activity defined by interactive challenges, dis- cernible rules, and attainable goals. There will be exceptions to this, of course, but it’s a good place to start. Let’s look at a classic example: chess. Chess is a play activity; there is no work involved. It’s nothing more than a form of entertainment. The challenges are interactive: In order to participate, the player must move pieces across the board. Chess has clearly defined rules that govern the movement of pieces and the actions of the player, and the game also features an attain- able goal: the capture of the opponent’s king. So here we have an interactive challenge, well-established rules, and a goal that the player works toward. Video games are also defined by these three principles, but due to their virtual nature, they’re far more complex than board games like chess. 1.2 What Is a Game? The term “video game” originally referred to a specific type of device—a computer system that creates a video display signal for televisions—but it has now become an all-encompassing term.

  • The Big Players in the Late 19080S and Early 1990S Were Two Japanese
    Geoffrey Allen B. Nuval 2/18/2003 STS 145: History of Computer Game Design Case Study THE PLUMBER AND THE HEDGEHOG: A Case Study of Two Games that Defined the Epic Nintendo-Sega Rivalry They were the Beatles and Stones of the late 1980s and early 1990s. Nintendo was the Beatles: wholesome fun for all the family, with superior artistry but a slightly “safe” image; Sega, on the other hand, was the snarling, street-smart gang, roughing it up for the hardcore videogame fans. -Steven Poole, Trigger Happy Before the battle between home videogame consoles was infiltrated by media and technology powerhouses, before the Playstation or the Xbox were the weapons of choice, before Lara Croft became a modern day Joan of Arc; two Japanese videogame titans locked horns during the latter 1980s and early 1990s in an epic fight that encompassed the world and left a multibillion dollar industry in its wake. The two camps, Nintendo Co. Ltd. and Sega Enterprises Ltd., respectively appointed icons to lead their fronts: a plumber named Mario and a hedgehog named Sonic. Through a mixture of technical, business, and cultural perspectives, this case study will give us insight into one of the most crucial points of the Nintendo-Sega War, documenting the events, decisions, and people involved with the release of Nintendo’s Super Mario Bros. 3 and the subsequent release of Sega’s Sonic the Hedgehog. These two games not only defined a rivalry between Mario and Sonic as they competed for the leading character role in the videogame industry, they also helped to create a cultural divide and intensify the greater rivalry between the once mighty Sega and Nintendo camps.
