Shielded from the crash that hit the US video game industry, the UK market was the birthplace of, what seemed at the time like an endless conveyor belt of different 8- bit “micros”. Machines like Sinclair’s ZX81 and ZX Spectrum, Amstrad’s CPC and PCW, Acorn’s Electron and BBC Micro, rubbed shoulders with less-commercially successful entries such as the Oric and Dragon. Even the almighty American challengers, the Commodore Vic-20 and C64 struggled to dominate this vast, vibrantly haphazard marketplace. These home computers could never truly replicate the experience of arcade gaming or compete with the focused power of the Japanese gaming consoles that arrived on the scene much later, not that they didn’t give it a good go. However, there was one genre that they truly excelled at… the humble text adventure. For the text adventure, flashy graphics were optional and a decent keyboard (or, even, one made of rubber) was the perfect input device. You simply plugged your home computer into your television set, fired up your cassette player or disk drive and you had access to a whole world of imaginative, creative and unique gaming experiences. Inspired by American text adventure legends such as Crowther & Woods, Infocom, and Scott Adams, the UK 6 produced its own big-hitters. Names such as Magnetic Scrolls, Level 9, Delta 4 and Brian Howarth became synonymous with the early adventure scene and created titles that were just as highly regarded by their native audience. It wasn’t just big, commercial companies that produced text adventures. One of the attractions about the genre was that virtually anyone could produce their own, playable game. Early homegrown efforts, often programmed in BASIC, were usually slow and struggled to understand the commands that players typed in, but many talented programmers went on to produce their own ‘machine-coded’ games that were much more impressive. The real breakthrough, in terms of homegrown adventures, came with the release of two pieces of software; Incentive’s Graphic Adventure Creator and Gilsoft’s The Quill. Followed a few years later by The Professional Adventure Writer, these were complete adventure writing systems. These programs took care of almost all the technical aspects of producing an adventure. They provided an adventure creator with a working parser, a framework for the game locations and a format for easily adding in puzzles. And, more importantly, they granted authors the rights to publish the games they made without paying Incentive or Gilsoft a royalty. These adventure writing systems allowed consumers of the media to very easily become creators; making games for family and friends, and also, with very little extra effort, the wider public. 7 Graphics, never a huge draw for the true devotee of the text adventure, were optional (as was often the ability to spell). To produce your own game the only thing you really had to be able to do was to type basic descriptions and come up with ideas for puzzles. For a short time, even homebrewed efforts were considered good enough for commercial release. Big publishers such as Firebird, Alternative Software, Mirrorsoft, CRL, Automata, and Games Workshop all released games produced using the GAC and the Quill. The text adventure’s time in the sun was relatively short-lived, however, as software houses soon felt their audience wanted more graphical, arcade-inspired experiences. But even before the big publishers believed that their audience had tired and moved on from text adventures, a whole cottage industry of homegrown software houses

  • Visual Design in Video Games
    Forthcoming in WOLF, Mark J.P. (ed.). Video Game History: From Bouncing Blocks to a Global Industry, Greenwood Press, Westport, Conn. Visual Design in Video Games Carl Therrien So why did polygons become the ubiquitous virtual bricks of videogames? Because, whatever the interesting or eccentric devices that had been thrown up along the way, videogames, as with the strain of Western art from the Renaissance up until the shock of photography, were hell-bent on refining their powers of illusionistic deception. —Stephen Poole (2000, page 125). Illusion refining, indeed, appears to be a major driving force of video game evolution. The appeal of ever-more realistic depictions of virtual universes in itself justifies the purchase of expensive new machinery, be it the latest console or dedicated computer parts. Yet, one must not conceive of this evolution as a linear progression towards perfect verisimilitude. The relative quality of static and dynamic renders, associated with a wide range of imaging techniques more or less suited to the capabilities of any given video game system, demonstrate the unsteady evolution of visual representation in the short history of the medium. Moreover, older techniques are sometimes integrated in the latest 3-D games, and 2-D gaming still enjoys a very strong following with portable game systems. Despite its short history, a detailed account of the apparatus behind the illusion would already require many volumes in itself. In this chapter, we will examine only the fundamentals of the different imaging techniques along with key examples. However, we hope to go further than a simple historical account of illusion refining, and expose the different ideals that governed and still governs the evolution of visual design in games.

  • Game Studies at Scale: Towards Facilitating Exploration of Game Corpora
    Loading… The Journal of the Canadian Game Studies Association Vol 10(17): 93-111 http://loading.gamestudies.ca Game Studies at Scale: Towards Facilitating Exploration of Game Corpora John Aycock Department of Computer Science, University of Calgary [email protected] Abstract Critically playing a game and performing a close reading of a specific aspect of a game are valid game analysis techniques. But these types of analyses don’t scale to the plethora of games available, and also neglect implementation aspects of the games which themselves are texts that can be analyzed. We argue that appropriate software tools can support research in game studies, allowing individual games to be read at the level of gameplay as well as the implementation level, the level of computer code. Moreover, these tools permit analysis to scale in a similar fashion as the “distant reading” of digital humanities allows for traditional texts, and can be applied to an entire corpus of games. We illustrate these ideas within a corpus of games created using the Graphic Adventure Creator, a program first released in 1985 for a number of computing platforms. As a proof of concept, we have built a system called GrACIAS – the Graphic Adventure Creator Internal Analysis System – that we have used for both static and dynamic analysis of this corpus of games, effectively allowing them to be internally explored and “read.” Furthermore, our system is able to look for game solutions automatically and has solved over 60 game images to date, making the games accessible to researchers, but also to people who may not be expert players or even able to understand the language the game uses.

    I owned an Acorn Electron as a kid. It wasn’t the greatest games machine in the playground, but it did have the best game of all-time, Braben and Bell’s Elite , and one of the best adventure games of all time, Trevor Hall’s Twin Kingdom Valley. For a boy with a fertile imagination, and an obsession with the Fighting Fantasy books, Twin Kingdom Valley whisked me through the screen and into a fantasy world of babbling brooks, Forests, Orcs, Trolls, Goblins, Dragons, Kings and treasure! I played as many adventures as I could, but It wasn’t until I owned a ZX Spectrum and Fergus McNeill’s The Big Sleaze that I encountered the same immersion with another game. A friend and I spent many weekends hunched over the keyboard, notepad and pen, determined that Sam Spillade would find the missing Maltese Bullfinch. I’m therefore delighted that both Fergus and Trevor feature in this celebration of classic adventure games, along with many other adventures and authors that transported legions of other kids to far flung corners of their own imagination.

This was a single-board computer with a hex keypad and an 8-digit LED display, with the extra RAM expansion so that it had a full 384 bytes of memory.
