Time Required: Two to three 45-minute periods Standards: NGSS K-2-ETS1-1; 3-5-ETS1-1 Materials Required: Table tennis balls, building materials (paper, rubber bands, paper clips, etc.), colored pencils, Student Activity Sheet 1 Preparation: Assemble sets of materials for each pair of students. Set up pairs of desks or stacks of books with a one-foot gap between them. Optional: Ask students to bring in props from home. Lesson Steps: 1 Explain how scientists try different solutions to solve problems. Then brainstorm inventions that helped solve problems. Explain that many of these inventions happened after trial and error—or by accident! 2 Present students with a design challenge. Using only the materials provided, they will work in pairs to invent a way for a table tennis ball to roll across a gap between two desks. Students and their partners will design, test, and redesign their solutions to the problem using Part A of Student Activity Sheet 1. 3 After students have developed their solutions, lead a final test session to determine which design was the most effective. Students will then complete Part B of Student Activity Sheet 1. 4 Discuss with students how these types of challenges apply to game design: › Game developers design challenges for players to solve. They include tools that players can use to solve those problems. › Apply today’s lesson to a game course.
  • Mario's Time Machine

    Mario's Time Machine

    Serious Game Critique By Anas Siraj Mario’s Time Machine! CONCEPT Mario’s Time Machine, based on the original Super Mario franchise, is an old-school game in which Mario must retrieve a number of stolen artifacts from Bowser, in order to return them to their rightful places at different points in time / history. INITIAL PLATFORM: MS-DOS OTHER PLATFORMS: NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) and SNES (Super Nintendo Entertainment System) STORYLINE The story begins as Bowser steals the historical artifacts for his own benefit. Mario must use the time machine (called the Timulator) to travel to different points in time / history in order to retrieve them. He must then use the time machine to return the artifacts to their rightful owners. NOTE: All historical artifacts, time periods and artifact owners are from REAL HISTORY, in an excellent attempt at educating kids and teens the history of our species. Mario (the player) travels through a variety of lands and oceans in search for the artifacts, giving him/her the opportunity to experience a number of different gameplay styles and visuals along the way. Once the artifacts are retrieved and returned to their original owners, Mario wins. SCREENSHOTS Screenshots of Mario’s Time Machine ENTERTAINING EDUCATION Mario’s Time Machine displays a very good understanding of how to make information interesting and fun. The game educates kids while keeping them entertained, where in most cases they are not even aware that they are playing an educational game. SOUND AND MUSIC The game stays true to its roots by using the classic Mario sounds we’re used to hearing, but with a twist.

  • Super Mario 64 Was Proclaimed by Many As "The Greatest Video Game

    Super Mario 64 Was Proclaimed by Many As "The Greatest Video Game

    The People Behind Mario: When Hiroshi Yamauchi, president of Nintendo Co., Ltd. (NCL), hired a young art student as an apprentice in 1980, he had no idea that he was changing video games forever. That young apprentice was none other than the highly revered Shigeru Miyamoto, the man behind Mario. Miyamoto provided the inspiration for each Mario game Nintendo produces, as he still does today, with the trite exception of the unrelated “Mario-based” games produced by other companies. Just between the years 1985 and 1991, Miyamoto produced eight Mario games that went on to collectively sell 70 million copies. By record industry standards, Miyamoto had gone 70 times platinum in a brief six years. When the Nintendo chairman Gunpei Yokoi was assigned to oversee Miyamoto when he was first hired, Yokoi complained that “he knows nothing about video games” (Game Over 106). It turned out that the young apprentice knew more about video games than Yokoi, or anyone else in the world, ever could. Miyamoto’s Nintendo group, “R&D4,” had the assignment to come up with “the most imaginative video games ever” (Game Over 49), and they did just that. No one disagrees when they hear that "Shigeru is to video gaming what John Lennon is to Music!" (www.nintendoland.com) As soon as Miyamoto and Mario entered the scene, America, Japan, and the rest of the world had become totally engrossed in “Mario Mania.” Before delving deeply into the character that made Nintendo a success, we must first take a look at Nintendo, and its leader, Hiroshi Yamauchi.

Letter From The Creator I’ve always loved telling stories and I’ve always loved creating. If I’m not creating, I don’t feel right. Something feels off if I’m not busy writing or drawing or being otherwise creative. When I was younger, I made some board games out of old pizza boxes and I even got the chance to recreate one of these board games in college as a creative project (one of my favorite collegiate assignments), but I never tried to create my own RPG. I’ve done a few fan made adventures and modules in the past, mainly Events for Marvel Heroic Roleplaying (all of which are featured on Marvel Plot Points), but this is the first time I have tried to make my own roleplaying system from the ground up. I drew a little something from a couple of my favorite tabletop roleplaying games to make Pen and Paper Mario.
