    Videogames at the Library: Ahistoricalperspective

    VideoGames at the Library: AHistoricalPerspective Gustavo Marfia∗,AlessandroAmoroso∗,MarcoRoccetti∗,GiulioBasile∗,ClaudioE.Palazzi† ∗ Dipartimento di Scienze dell’Informazione - Universit`adiBologna,Italia Email: {amoroso, marfia, roccetti}@cs.unibo.it † Dipartimento di Matematica Pura e Applicata - Universit`adegli Studi di Padova, Italia Email: [email protected] Abstract —We present an overview or the video games available at the Film Library of Bologna. This institution, in collaboration with the University of Bologna, has a whole collateral branch dedicated to the video games, as they can be considered a recreational activity somehow related to movies. This collection of video games conceptually starts from the ones that are strictly connected to movies, and then expands to a wider class of video games. A video game could be related with a movie either as its direct inspiration, its prequel or collateral plot, or also be created as a direct consequence of that movie. The expansion of the collection available in the Library includes a historical set of video games. In this paper we discuss the historical perspective of the relationship between technology and video games, providinga complete historical view of the video games by means of the titles and the consoles available in the Library. Several dedicated consoles are still in working conditions and could be used by the visitors of the Library. I. INTRODUCTION The collection of the Play Room of the Film Library of Bologna contains about 2000 video games, whose releases Fig. 1. Temporal distribution of games available at the Library with respect to the hardware platforms range from 1979, till the present date.

  • THE SUPER WILDCARD DX2 FAQ V1.3 by Vincent Charbonneau

    THE SUPER WILDCARD DX2 FAQ V1.3 by Vincent Charbonneau

    THE SUPER WILDCARD DX2 FAQ V1.3 By Vincent Charbonneau (AKA Fat_Mike) Last Update: January 8th 2003 This FAQ was written for the purpose of helping Super WildCard DX2 owners to get the most out of their unit. It is also supposed to help those of you who are new to the backup unit world. If you have a problem that isn’t listed in this document, be sure to e-mail me. If I, or someone, manage to solve it, I will add it in the next update of the FAQ with the proper credits given. And this is about the Super WildCard DX2, so if you are using another SNES backup unit, the information given in this FAQ are darn useless to you. When I talk about the SWC DX2, I refer to the Super WildCard DX2 (in case you didn’t know). And English is not my native language, so there might be grammar errors and such (even though the FAQ was corrected). If you don’t understand something or want me to correct something, again be sure to e-mail me ([email protected])! For those who are totally new to the copier world and don’t know what the hell I’m talking about, a Super WildCard is a Super Nintendo backup unit. With a SWC DX2, you can copy your game cartridges and play these copies (ROMs) without the need of the actual cart. You can also play a downloaded ROM image directly on your SNES just like the real cartridge. And there’s far more the SWC DX2 can do, but I can’t list all the possibilities of this copier, it would take a while.

  • Poder En La Mano

    Poder En La Mano

    PODER EN LA MANO Se que en los capítulos pasados me he enfocado únicamente en las consolas caseras, por lo que en este capítulo hablaré de otro rubro importante de la industria: Las consolas portátiles. Como su nombre lo indica, una consola portátil es un aparato electrónico portátil que contiene una pantalla, altavoces y controles de juego integrados en el mismo sistema, y son mucho más pequeños que las consolas caseras. A pesar de lo que se piensa, Nintendo no fue la primera compañía en lanzar los sistemas portátiles al mercado, pero si ayudó a que se popularizaran. Las primeras consolas portátiles no eran de cartuchos intercambiables, estaban programados para ejecutar un solo juego, y no eran extensos, consistían de una pantalla (en algunos casos 2), donde el jugador movía objetos a través de una secuencia prefijada, no había libertad total de movimiento, sino que los lugares a los cuales podía moverse el objeto ya estaban predeterminados. Auto Race © 2012 Eric Martínez http://xunlimited.blogspot.com/ El primer juego electrónico portátil fue Auto Race, lanzado por Mattel en 1976. El jugador debía mover un auto (representado por una línea parpadeante en el fondo de la pantalla) hasta la parte superior cuatro veces, pero mientras lo hacía, debía evadir otros carros usado el stick con el carro dibujado, para moverlo por tres carriles. Si el carro del jugador golpeaba otro, este retrocedía hasta el fondo de la pantalla hasta que saliera del camino del otro carro. El objetivo era lograr completar las 4 veces antes de 99 segundos. La velocidad de movimiento del juego podía adaptarse usando el switch Gear (velocidad), entre más alto fuera la velocidad, los otros autos bajaban más rápido.
