  • Interview with an Ex-ACG (Ashby Computers & Graphics) Employee
    Interview With An Ex-ACG (Ashby Computers & Graphics) Employee Background Over the past few months on the ultimate-wurlde.com site, I've alluded to an ongoing conversation with someone who used to work for 'Ultimate', and I promised to reveal some of the secrets that this source had disclosed to me. However, you can't just blunder into this kind of thing! Firstly, you have to build up a degree of trust; I need to assure my source that I'm not going to blurt out something given in good faith (and in confidence), and I need to feel happy that I'm not being hoaxed by some prankster! Trust was duly established, and after some to-ing and fro-ing between us, I've finally managed to get around to conducting an 'interview' via email... December 2001 The Interview Rob: Hi, and thanks for agreeing to be interviewed! First off; what is your relationship with Ultimate? ACG: I was employed there for quite a few years up until just before the US Gold takeover. I never worked on the programming side when I was employed at AC&G although I did get to mingle with the programmers quite regularly as we were a relatively small, close and friendly group of employees. These days I work elsewhere, but I still remain in contact with them! Rob: Given how hard it is to get ex-AC&G people to talk, I assume that there was some kind of policy not to talk to anyone outside of the company - one that still seems to be in place? ACG: The quietness UPTG showed towards the press was not intentional and came about purely by accident.

  • 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].

  • Or, a Prehistory of Interactive Television1
    The society of the Spectacle is dead: Long live the society of the Carnival; or, a Prehistory of Interactive Television1 by Alison McMahan, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Daniel Dayan’s and Elihu Katz’s theory of spectacle, ceremony and festival levels of engagement is here applied to the various types of interactive television, from choice and time-shift types, to hyperserials (as defined by Janet Murray in Hamlet on the Holodeck) to the kind of interactive television where viewer/players can alter the content. The closest we have right now to this festival-approach to interactive television are graphic online MUDs such as Ultima Online and massive multiplayer games. Console boxes, the first of which was the Sega Dreamcast, offer a festival model of interactive televisual engagement along with a low-cost convergence of television, internet and computer. If we accept that multiplayer console games are a model for the interactive television of the future, we can then start defining an aesthetics of interactive television based on computer games. KEY WORDS Interactive television, computer games, videogames, console boxes, hyperserial, spectacle, ceremony, festival. The idea I wish to explore in this paper is that Game Consoles, among which the Sega Dreamcast was the first to include Internet access and on-line games, are the first true form of interactive television. If we accept this hypothesis then we can look at a variety of other phenomena, from web casting to reality TV to computer games, as precursors to interactive television that have been remediated in the form of interactive television we have now.

    For the 48K RAM Sinclair ZX Spectrum I can't help her...She's breaking up...She's breaking up!!...CRACKLE... After JETMAN's poorly assembled multi-stage rocket started to disintegrate in warp space, he manages to crash land on a strange undiscovered world, inhabited by hundreds of restless aliens intent on the total destruction of the planet Earth. Desperate to regain the lost minerals, the aliens initialise their ancient attack mechanisms. All around, huge missile installa- tions erupt from deep within the bounds of the planet, sur- rounded by their own strategic defence stations. Their huge linoleum shelled missiles glisten in the distant sunlight as the multitronic warheads auto-arm and poise for attack. With no hope of help from the nearby and unaware Earth, JETMAN has to destroy all of the installations single-handed before the imminent destruction of his home planet. Using only his Hyperglide Moon Rover to carry the strange equipment and supply Bridging units, with any other equipment he can find to complete his mission. Pity he can't find the operation manuals!
