  • 19. CD-ROM Games
    Forthcoming in WOLF, Mark J.P. (ed.). Video Game History: From Bouncing Blocks to a Global Industry, Greenwood Press, Westport, Conn. 19. CD-ROM Games Carl Therrien While it became a standard relatively recently, disc-based storage goes a long way back in the history of video game distribution. The term encompasses a wide range of technologies, from magnetic floppy discs, analog laserdiscs, to a variety of digital optical media. Of the latter, the CD-ROM enjoyed the strongest following and the longest lifespan; as of 2006, a significant number of PC games are still burned on CDs. When it became the most common video game distribution format in the mid nineteen-nineties, the compact disc was already a standard in the music industry. In contrast to the magnetic tapes used for the distribution of albums and movies, optical discs allowed relatively fast, random, non-linear access to the content. But these features were already common in the realm of cartridge-based video game systems; the ROMs in Atari 2600 or Super Nintendo game cartridges were directly connected to the system’s working memory and could be read instantly. The CD drive optical head couldn’t compete; as a matter of fact, optical discs introduced the infamous “loading” screen to the console gamer. Video games benefited first and foremost from the storage capabilities of the CD-ROM. While the CD format shares its core technical principle with the more recent DVD standard (found in the Xbox and PlayStation 2) and other dedicated formats (such as the Dreamcast’s GD-ROM and the Gamecube optical disc), this chapter will focus solely on the integration of CD-ROM technology and its consequences on game design and development.

  • Le Jeu Vidéo Sur Youtube : Historique De La Captation Et De La Diffusion Du Jeu Vidéo
    Université de Montréal Le jeu vidéo sur YouTube : historique de la captation et de la diffusion du jeu vidéo par Francis Lavigne Département d’histoire de l’art et d’études cinématographiques Faculté des arts et des sciences Mémoire présenté en vue de l’obtention du grade de M.A. en études cinématographiques option études du jeu vidéo Août 2017 © Francis Lavigne, 2017 Résumé Ce mémoire s’intéresse à la captation audiovisuelle et aux pratiques de commentaires sur le jeu vidéo. Tout d’abord, nous remettons en contexte l’émergence de ce type de production à l’aide d’une analyse historique de divers formats de diffusion (à la télévision, à l’aide de vidéocassettes, dans les suppléments de magazines et sur Internet). Ensuite, nous détaillons les limites et affordances de la plateforme participative YouTube. Puis, nous rattachons les commentaires de jeux vidéo aux concepts de boniment, de performance et de double performance. Enfin, nous analysons quatre genres de vidéos présents sur YouTube : les machinimas, les speedruns, les longplays et les let’s plays. Mots-clés Jeu vidéo, machinima, longplay, let’s play, speedrun, YouTube, boniment, commentaire, double performance i Abstract This research is aimed to understand the audiovisual recording and commentary practices of video games. First of all, we do a contextualisation of these types of production through a historical analysis of the way theses videos were diffused (from televised shows, to VHS, magazines’ bonuses, and on the Internet). After, we detail the limits and affordances of the YouTube sharing platform. Then, we create links between the commentary of video game and the concepts of film lecturer, performance and double performance.

  • Final Report for George Sanger ADAT Project
    Final Report for George Sanger ADAT Project Jeff Crow, Justin Kovar, Susanne Ristow and George Royer Problems in the Permanent Retention of Electronic Records Dr. Patricia Galloway University of Texas at Austin School of Information Spring 2010 Introduction The UT Videogame Archive at The Dolph Briscoe Center for American History seeks to preserve materials related to all aspects of videogame design and production. The Archive has taken possession of materials donated by George Sanger, the creator of music and sound for numerous videogames. Calling himself "The Fat Man," Sanger often collaborated with a group dubbed "Team Fat." One part of the collection is a number of ADAT digital audio tapes with music from the game The 7th Guest, which was developed by the company Trilobyte. It was released for multiple platforms by Virgin Interactive beginning in 1993. The game was one of the first to be released solely on CD-ROM due to the large amount of full motion video included in the game, which was also something new to videogames at that point. The game proved to be successful, winning multiple awards and spawning a sequel, The 11th Hour. As our project for Professor Pat Galloway's class INF 392K "Problems in the Permanent Retention of Electronic Records," we migrated digital audio from ADAT tapes provided by Sanger into WAV format that can preserved long term. This document describes the process undertaken to migrate the recordings in order to provide instructions and insights for posterity. It also details an interview we performed with Sanger, as well as recommendations for the future.
