Maybe It Was the Recent Atari 2600 Milestone Anniversary That Fueled Nostalgia for the Golden Days of Computer and Console Gaming Retro Gaming Hacks By Chris Kohler ............................................... Publisher: O'Reilly Pub Date: October 2005 ISBN: 0-596-00917-8 Pages: 502 Table of Contents | Index Maybe it was the recent Atari 2600 milestone anniversary that fueled nostalgia for the golden days of computer and console gaming. Every Game Boy must ponder his roots from time to time. But whatever is driving the current retro gaming craze, one thing is certain: classic games are back for a big second act, and they're being played in both old and new ways. Whether you've just been attacked by Space Invaders for the first time or you've been a Pong junkie since puberty, Chris Kohler's Retro Gaming Hacks is the indispensable new guide to playing and hacking classic games. Kohler has complied tons of how-to information on retro gaming that used to take days or weeks of web surfing to track down and sort through, and he presents it in the popular and highly readable Hacks style. Retro Gaming Hacks serves up 85 hard-nosed hacks for reviving the classic games. Want to game on an original system? Kohler shows you how to hack ancient hardware, and includes a primer for home-brewing classic software. Rather adapt today's equipment to run retro games? Kohler provides emulation techniques, complete with instructions for hacking a classic joystick that's compatible with a contemporary computer. This book also teaches readers to revive old machines for the original gaming experience: hook up an Apple II or a Commodore 64, for example, and play it like you played before. A video game journalist and author of Power Up: How Japanese Video Games Gave the World an Extra Life, Kohler has taught the history of video games at Tufts University. InRetro Gaming Hacks, he locates the convergence of classic games and contemporary software, revealing not only how to retrofit classic games for today's systems, but how to find the golden oldies hidden in contemporary programs as well. Whether you're looking to recreate the magic of a Robotron marathon or simply crave a little handheld Donkey Kong, Retro Gaming Hacks shows you how to set the way-back dial.

ISBN: 0-596-00917-8 [C] Foreword Way back in the Paleolithic Era of computing (about 1980), I bought my first computer, an Apple ][+. I still get a kick out of the clever way Apple "spelled out" the Roman numeral two with those square brackets. My ][+ was totally tricked out: a whopping 48 KB of memory, two 120 KB floppies (no disk swapping for me!), a beautiful 10" black & green monitor, an Epson MX-80 dot matrix printer that lasted me far longer than any other piece of computer gear I've ever owned, and a genuine Hayes 300-baud modem (the height of "online connectivity" then) that cost $300 (just for the modem, not the whole computer!), a nice even dollar-per-baud. Somehow I convinced my wife that we should drop well over a month's income (and we were both employed, too).

  • 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.).

À Charlotte, à tes cris de l’oie, à tes sourires en coin, à tes découvertes. REMERCIEMENTS Écrire une thèse est un acte pétri d’incertitudes, que l’auteur cherche à maîtriser, cadrer et contrôler. J’ai eu le bonheur d’être particulièrement bien accompagné dans cette pratique du doute. Seul face à mon document, j’étais riche de toutes les discussions qui ont jalonné mes années de doctorat. Je souhaite particulièrement remercier mes interlocuteurs pour leur générosité : - Christine Servais, pour sa direction minutieuse, sa franchise, sa bienveillance, ses conseils et son écoute. - Les membres du jury pour avoir accepté de me livrer leur analyse du présent travail. - Tous les membres du Liège Game Lab pour leur intelligence dans leur participation à notre collectif de recherche, pour leur capacité à échanger de manière constructive et pour leur humour sans égal.

  • Tie Break Tennis by 01Toys Review by Jr2swiss Nov/04/2004
    Offline Edition Version: Mar/22/2005 14:13 http://reviews.chemicalkungfu.de/ 1 Ah Catsmanga Daioh by taRo Review by BobBorakovitz Nov/03/2004 This is a really nice little game, very polished with excellent graphics and music! The text is in Japanese (or another similar foreign language) but it's easy to understand the menus. The gameplay is simple, you are a little anime girl on the bottom of the screen, your goal is to avoid the many cats that are falling from the sky while collecting tokens that also fall from the sky. For every cat that you avoid you get 1 point, and you get bonus points by collecting the tokens. I love the music, it's a catchy tune, but there's not too many sound effects, however the ones that are there work well and sound great without crackling. The feature in this game that really makes it stand out is the online ranking system! When your game ends you get a screen that has a password and a website to rank yourself among other players! At the time of this writing, my ranking is a dismal #144! Oh well, I'll keep trying! Graphics: 9 Sound: 8 Gameplay: 9 Progress: 10 Gameidea: 6 Replay value: 7 OVERALL RATING: 8.2 2 Air Rage by Taras Young Review by frolik Nov/04/2004 Coded for the 15 days Coding Competition was this little one-shot shootemup where you fly a Boeing 737 that has been armed to the teeth with weapons and are pursued by government jets intent on taking you down.

  • Gbbs-Tcpser-Howto-01
    This is a basic how-to on setting up an Internet-connected BBS using GBBS Pro and either a real or emulated Apple IIe or IIgs computer. For AppleWin users, the minimum required version is 1.26.3.0 – this version has an ACIA behavior fix that’s needed for GBBS Pro (or any other BBS package) to operate properly. You can find the latest version of AppleWin here: https://github.com/AppleWin/AppleWin In order to connect your real or virtual Apple IIe to the Internet, you’re going to need to set up a “modem emulator”. There’s a number of different choices out there, but for this how-to I’m going to cover one called tcpser. What tcpser does is act as a bridge between the Internet and your Apple IIe (or other vintage computer). As far as your Apple IIe is concerned, it’s talking to a real modem. Setting up a host for tcpser is pretty simple. I’m going to cover two methods that I’ve used myself. Note that tcpser can be built for Linux, Windows, and pretty much any BSD-derived operating system (OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Darwing, etc.) First will be a Raspberry Pi configuration and the second will be a Windows configuration. For the Raspberry Pi option, you’ll need the following items: • Raspberry Pi 3 • USB to Serial adapter – units that use the Prolific PL-2303 chipset are preferred and are known to work well. You can search Amazon for “Prolific PL2303” to see some good examples from the likes of Sabrent and Trendnet.
