Although American Multiple Industries, Playaround, and Universal Gamex failed to establish a market, their titles nevertheless demonstrate how adult games function as desire machines within an erotic economy that sells a host of anticipatory pleasures. Indeed, the resulting public outcry not only led to the game industry’s first sex-based controversy, but the antagonism signals the desire to regulate sexual expression on a new media technology as game producers—following the lead of adult video professionals—attempted to transport users’ joysticks from living rooms into bedrooms. Keywords video games, Atari, pornography, regulation, moral panic, Custer’s Revenge Will Custer have his sweet revenge? Or will he get it in the end? —Game box copy, Custer’s Revenge (1982) When it appears as more than a passing footnote in popular video game histories, the story of Custer’s Revenge (1982) is often presented as a cautionary tale about a young industry behaving badly.1 Produced for the Atari 2600 home video game console by 1The University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, USA 2University of Oregon, Eugene, USA Corresponding Author: Peter Alilunas, School of Journalism & Communication, University of Oregon, Allen Hall 236, Eugene, OR 97403-1275, USA.

  • UNOCART-2600 Instruction Manual
    UNOCART-2600 Instruction Manual Revision 1.2 9/2/2018 Atari 2600 SD multi-cart Quick Start The UnoCart -2600 is an Atari cartridge emulator. It supports cartridges with up to 64k of ROM and 32k of RAM. First, copy BIN, ROM or A26 files to an SD card and insert it into the cartridge. Check the TV configuration jumper on the back of the board matches your TV system. Insert the cartridge in the Atari 2600. If the board is uncased, check you’ve got it the right way round (see picture). Power on the Atari and use the joystick to choose an item and the fire button to start it. PAL/NTSC Configuration The jumper on the back of the board allows you to select whether the cartridge uses NTSC or PAL/PAL60 for the built-in menu. You can remove the jumper completely if you are using a NTSC TV. Note that this jumper only applies to the cartridge menu – once you select a ROM to emulate, the TV picture produced will be entirely dependent on the cartridge being emulated. In general there were separate PAL and NTSC versions of each cartridge – make sure you get the correct version. SD Cards SD cards should be formatted as FAT32. Newer SD cards may come formatted as exFAT. These can be used with the UnoCart-2600, but need to be re-formatted as FAT32 on your computer prior to use. 1 Menu The menu allows you to navigate the files on the card and select a title to use.

  • Atari Giant Variation Label List (PDF)
    Atari 2600 Label Variations This Atari 2600 label list is a compilation of input from many collectors in the field. A lot of hard work has been given by these collectors. You know who you are, and are too many to list. I thank you for everything you’ve done. Since this list is a joint effort, it will be available for all to use. It is a shame that when you input something, you are not fit to use it. So make a copy for yourself or ask me for one. I tell you to do this, so the list does not vanish in case something ever happens to me or my website. To update this list on my website, contact me at [email protected]. I will try and correct any mistakes and add any new info as I come across it. I’ve compiled a new and improved list from the one you’ve seen throughout the years. I’ve also made it much simpler to use. Any questions or comments, just contact me. I’m always on the Atari Age website as Philflound and that is also my AIM name. Rarity is going to be based on the label variation of the cartridge, not the game itself. There are many websites and guides that give the rarity of the carts, so it is just duplicate info you don’t need. I am giving rarity 3 grades along with a (?) grade. There may be more than one grade for variations. For example, Combat has 26 variations listed at this time.

  • Strung Out: Printable Strings in Atari 2600 Games
    University of Calgary PRISM: University of Calgary's Digital Repository Science Science Research & Publications 2014-08-14 Strung Out: Printable Strings in Atari 2600 Games Aycock, John http://hdl.handle.net/1880/50203 technical report Downloaded from PRISM: https://prism.ucalgary.ca Strung Out: Printable Strings in Atari 2600 Games John Aycock Department of Computer Science University of Calgary 2500 University Drive N.W. Calgary, AB, Canada T2N 1N4 [email protected] TR 2014-1062-13, August 2014 1 Introduction This report documents the raw findings from an exhaustive (and exhausting) analysis of a large corpus of Atari 2600 games to find printable strings. While similar efforts have been conducted before [3], this is the most extensive survey so far, to the best of our knowledge. We intend to analyze these results from a higher-level viewpoint later, but this report serves as a permanent record of the data and the methods we used to acquire it. 2 Printable Strings The results reported here are based on a corpus of 1816 Atari 2600 ROM cartridge images. Duplicate images were removed – the initial corpus, as acquired, had 1840 images – but some game images have one or more prototype images too. We have not removed these, because sometimes the strings are different between these versions. Finding printable strings was done in a manner consistent with the Unix strings program, where sequences of consec- utive printable ASCII characters at least four characters in length were selected. In practice, because this process produces a lot of “noise”, i.e., sequences that appear to be printable strings but in fact are not: XXXXXXX^ 66420OBDF66420FBD66420@D 3##~ #3 we filtered the output to make legitimate printable strings more prominent [2].

  • You've Seen the Movie, Now Play The
    “YOU’VE SEEN THE MOVIE, NOW PLAY THE VIDEO GAME”: RECODING THE CINEMATIC IN DIGITAL MEDIA AND VIRTUAL CULTURE Stefan Hall A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2011 Committee: Ronald Shields, Advisor Margaret M. Yacobucci Graduate Faculty Representative Donald Callen Lisa Alexander © 2011 Stefan Hall All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Ronald Shields, Advisor Although seen as an emergent area of study, the history of video games shows that the medium has had a longevity that speaks to its status as a major cultural force, not only within American society but also globally. Much of video game production has been influenced by cinema, and perhaps nowhere is this seen more directly than in the topic of games based on movies. Functioning as franchise expansion, spaces for play, and story development, film-to-game translations have been a significant component of video game titles since the early days of the medium. As the technological possibilities of hardware development continued in both the film and video game industries, issues of media convergence and divergence between film and video games have grown in importance. This dissertation looks at the ways that this connection was established and has changed by looking at the relationship between film and video games in terms of economics, aesthetics, and narrative. Beginning in the 1970s, or roughly at the time of the second generation of home gaming consoles, and continuing to the release of the most recent consoles in 2005, it traces major areas of intersection between films and video games by identifying key titles and companies to consider both how and why the prevalence of video games has happened and continues to grow in power.
