In This Day of 3D Graphics, What Lets a Game Like ADOM Not Only Survive
Ross Hensley STS 145 Case Study 3-18-02 Ancient Domains of Mystery and Rougelike Games The epic quest begins in the city of Terinyo. A Quake 3 deathmatch might begin with a player materializing in a complex, graphically intense 3D environment, grabbing a few powerups and weapons, and fragging another player with a shotgun. Instantly blown up by a rocket launcher, he quickly respawns. Elapsed time: 30 seconds. By contrast, a player’s first foray into the ASCII-illustrated world of Ancient Domains of Mystery (ADOM) would last a bit longer—but probably not by very much. After a complex process of character creation, the intrepid adventurer hesitantly ventures into a dark cave—only to walk into a fireball trap, killing her. But a perished ADOM character, represented by an “@” symbol, does not fare as well as one in Quake: Once killed, past saved games are erased. Instead, she joins what is no doubt a rapidly growing graveyard of failed characters. In a day when most games feature high-quality 3D graphics, intricate storylines, or both, how do games like ADOM not only survive but thrive, supporting a large and active community of fans? How can a game design seemingly premised on frustrating players through continual failure prove so successful—and so addictive? 2 The Development of the Roguelike Sub-Genre ADOM is a recent—and especially popular—example of a sub-genre of Role Playing Games (RPGs). Games of this sort are typically called “Roguelike,” after the founding game of the sub-genre, Rogue. Inspired by text adventure games like Adventure, two students at UC Santa Cruz, Michael Toy and Glenn Whichman, decided to create a graphical dungeon-delving adventure, using ASCII characters to illustrate the dungeon environments. -
Ogre Battle Review
Eric Liao STS 145 February 2 1,2001 Ogre Battle Review This review is of the cult Super Nintendo hit Ogre Battle. In my eyes, it achieved cult hit status because of its appeal to hard-core garners as well as its limited release (only 25,000 US copies!), despite being extraordinarily successful in Japan. Its innovative gameplay has not been emulated by any other games to date (besides sequels). As a monument to Ogre Battle’s amazing replayability, I still play the game today on an SNES emulator. General information: Full name: Ogre Battle Saga, Episode 5: The March of the Black Queen Publisher: Atlus Developer: Quest Copyright Date: 1993 Genre: real time strategy with RPG elements Platform: Originally released for SNES, ported to Sega Saturn and Sony Playstation, with sequels for SNES, N64, NeoGeo Pocket Color, Sony Playstation # Players: 1 player game Storyline: This game hasa tremendously deep storyline for a console game, rivaling most RPGs. When I say deep, it is not in the traditional interactive fiction sense. There are no cutscenes in the game, and characters do not talk to each other. Rather, what makes the game deep is not the plot, but the completely branching structure of the plot. The story itself is not extremely original: The gametakes place thousands of years after a huge battle, called “The Ogre Battle,” was fought. This war was between mankind and demonkind, with the winner to rule the world. Mankind won and sealed the demons in the underworld. However, an evil wizard created an artifact called “The Black Diamond” that could destroy this seal. -
Game Review | the Legend of Zelda file:///Users/Denadebry/Desktop/Hpsresearch/Papersfromgreen
Game Review | The Legend of Zelda file:///Users/denadebry/Desktop/HPSresearch/PapersFromGreen... Matt Waddell STS 145: Game Review Table of Contents: Da Game Story Line & Game-play Technical Stuff Game Design Success Endnotes In 1984 President Hiroshi Yamauchi asked apprentice game designer Sigeru Miyamoto to oversee R&D4, a new research and development team for Nintendo Co., Ltd. Miyamoto's group, Joho Kaihatsu, had one assignment: "to come up with the most imaginative video games ever." 1 On February 21, 1986, Nintendo Co., Ltd. published The Legend of Zelda (hereafter abbreviated LoZ) for the Famicom in Japan. It was Miyamoto's first autonomous attempt at game design. In July 1987, Nintendo of America published LoZ for the Nintendo Entertainment System in the United States, this time with a shiny gold cartridge. Origins: where did LoZ come from? Miyamoto admits that LoZ is partly based on Ridley Scott's movie Legend. Indeed, Miyamoto's video game shares more than just a title with Scott's 1985 production. But Miyamoto's fundamental inspiration for LoZ remains his childhood home, with its maze of rooms, sliding shoji screens, and "hallways, from which there seemed to be a medieval castle's supply of hidden rooms." 2 Story Line: a brief synopsis. In the land of Hyrule, the legend of the "Triforce" was being passed down from generation to generation; golden triangles possessing mystical powers. One day, an evil army attacked Hyrule and stole the Triforce of Power. This army was led by Gannon, the powerful Prince of Darkness. Fearing his wicked rule, Zelda, the princess of Hyrule, split the remaining Triforce of Wisdom into eight fragments and hid them throughout the land. -
Super Mario Brothers
Super Mario Brothers Complete* Transcription/Arrangements for the Piano By Philip Kim Original Music Composed by Kondo Koji 近藤 浩治 Game Produced by Nintendo * I did not include sound effects not playable by the piano. Forward I want to first of all, thank the people at Nintendo for creating this video game classic which I have fond memories of playing for many hours during my early teen years and way into my 20s. I want to especially thank the composer, Kondo Koji, for composing such memorable tunes which will remain within us to those who have played this wonderful game series. I first heard the piano arrangements of the Super Mario series on the internet played by The Blindfolded Pianist, a.k.a. Martin Leung, about 4‐5 years back and I was thrilled to hear these gems on the piano. As most of the people probably did, I looked for the sheet music but I couldn’t find the complete transcriptions/arrangements for the piano except the ones available done by Martin. It was recently that I watched Martin’s performance video again and it was then when I decided if I couldn’t purchase the scores I’ll do my own transcriptions and arrangements. So it is Mr. Martin Leung that I owe my inspiration to do my own transcriptions of these musical gems. Since I couldn’t find any “Officially” published music scores for these BMG (Background Music) for the Super Mario series, I did my searches on the net and got my hands on many midi files and nsf (Nintendo Sound Format) files to play and to listen in order to notate the music. -

Designing Gameplay Researching and Testing Nintendo’S Game Design
Designing Gameplay Researching and testing Nintendo’s game design Malin Ribäck Arcada Biblioteket och Språkenheten Helsingfors 2019 EXAMENSARBETE Arcada Utbildningsprogram: Mediekultur Identifikationsnummer: 6847 Författare: Malin Ribäck Arbetets namn: Gameplays design – Undersökning och test av Nintendos speldesign Handledare (Arcada): Mirko Ahonen Uppdragsgivare: Sammandrag: Studien gick ut på att utforska hur spelföretaget Nintendo designar gameplay. För att testa resultaten i praktiken skapades ett game design-dokument. Därför börjar arbetet med att diskutera vad game design-dokument är och vad de används för. Game design-dokumentet som gjordes i samband med studien är en kombination av det huvudsakliga game design- dokumentet och ett konceptdokument. Därför tar arbetet också upp skillnaderna mellan dessa dokument. För att utreda hur Nintendo designar gameplay utfördes en litteraturundersökning. Materialet som användes i litteraturundersökningen består av intervjuer. Majoriteten av intervjuerna härstammar från Nintendos egen hemsida. För att utforma en teori tar arbetet upp några befintliga teorier för hur Nintendo designar sina spel. För att kunna diskutera Nintendos gameplay definieras gameplays koncept genom att diskutera olika definitioner av olika författare som tar upp ämnet i fråga. Litteraturundersökningen inleds med en presentation av varifrån materialet för studien har kommit. Inledningsvis tar också arbetet upp två viktiga spelutvecklare från Nintendo, för att ge insikt i varför just de personerna är viktiga. För att presentera en helhet över hur Nintendo designar gameplay studeras, organiseras, presenteras och diskuteras innehållet från litteraturundersökningen. Resultatet från undersökningen visar bland annat att när Nintendo designar sina spel, fokuserar man på följande saker: Att göra spelen användarvänliga, att formge dem enligt deras funktion, att göra spelvärlden responsiv i förhållande till spelaren och att undvika störa eller avbryta spelarens inlevelse i spelet. -
