  • The Many Lives of the Jetman: a Case Study in Video Game Analysis Will Brooker
    The Many Lives of the Jetman: A Case Study in Video Game Analysis Will Brooker This article examines the changing meanings and forms of the computer game Jetpac, which was originally released by Ultimate for the ZX Spectrum in 1983 and has been recoded by individual programmers during the late 1990s, in at least three different shareware versions, for PC and Spectrum emulators. Through this analysis, it asks a simple question: how can we approach, and perhaps teach, the academic study of computer and video games? Introduction: Games and Theory At the present time, it seems that the study of video games is considered suitable for courses in technical production and for magazine and newspaper reviews, but not for academic degree modules or, with very few exceptions, for scholarly analysis [1]. Video games are a job for those at the design and coding end of the process, and a leisure pursuit for those at the consumption end. There exists very little critical framework for analysing this unique media form. This article suggests a possible set of approaches, based partially on the two pioneering studies of video games of the late 1990s: J.C. Herz’s Joystick Nation (London, Abacus 1997) and Steven Poole’s Trigger Happy (London: Fourth Estate, 2000). Both are exceptional and invaluable sallies into the field, yet both tend towards the journalistic, crafting nifty prose and snappy rhetoric at the expense of academic conventions. Poole, for instance, ends his early chapter sub-sections with slogan-neat but essentially meaningless tags such as “Kill them all”, [2] “You were just too slow” [3] “Go ahead, jump”[4] and, perhaps most glaringly, “The fighting game, like fighting itself, will always be popular”[5].

  • Photographic Record
    Bilstone Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan Photographic Record October 2012 1 Bilstone’s northern entrance defined by hedgerows and verges. The large Dutch Barn at Deans Farm is a prominent feature that adds to the rural charm of Bilstone. Unfortunately, the fencing is out of character and consideration should be given to replacing it with traditional fencing such as a post and rail agricultural fence and hedging. 2 This quaint outbuilding to the rear of Drove House is spoilt with the use of a non- traditional roofing material. Rear of Drove House showing rear service buildings that once contained pigsties; coal houses and earth closets. 3 Drove House is a fine dwelling sited on a sharp bend northwards. Drove House is fenced by pleasant agricultural fencing which adds to the rural charm of the village. The property, that once comprised five small agricultural brick & tile dwellings, has now been converted into one dwelling. Unfortunately, this has resulted in the loss of the original door openings. 4 Dean’s Farm on Main Road is a large imposing brick & tile farmhouse with prominent chimney stacks sited close to farm related outbuildings. The property has been extended on several occasions since it was first built. Dean’s Farm looking south westwards showing its prominent corbelled gable ends and Georgian style windows 5 Ronaldsway House terminates views looking south along Main Road. The property has been extended in the past with, unfortunately, the bricks on its front elevation painted brown. The extension on the end of the property built with common bricks has a double garage door which is out of scale and character with this vernacular property.
