  • Ode a Sega Dreamcast,Sega History
    Ode a Sega Dreamcast «It’s better to burn out than to fade away» diceva Neil Young in My my, hey hey, citata anche da Kurt Cobain dei Nirvana nella sua lettera di suicidio. “Meglio ardere in una fiamma piuttosto che spegnersi lentamente” probabilmente era anche la mentalità di Sega verso la fine degli anni ‘90, quando per riprendersi dal fallimento commerciale e, in parte, progettuale che è stato ilSaturn tirarono fuori dal cilindro il Dreamcast. L’ultima console che ho veramente amato, insieme al Gamecube di Nintendo, ma questa è un’altra storia… Le cause del fallimento commerciale di Dreamcast sono note a tutti gli appassionati: una campagna marketing discutibile come, per esempio, la sponsorizzazione sulle maglie da calcio dell’Arsenal, Sampdoria, Saint-Etienne e Deportivo La Coruña. L’assenza del supporto di due grosse case di terze parti come Electronic Arts e Squaresoft (la fusione con Enix sarebbe arrivata solamente nel 2003), il formato del GD-ROM, più economico di un ancora acerbo DVD, ma che spalancava le porte a una pirateria forsennata, e soprattutto una macchina e un marchio inarrestabile come PlayStation che si era imposta con forza sul mercato grazie a un marketing aggressivo e una libreria di giochi completa come raramente s’era vista prima di allora. Ma non siamo qui a parlare delle cause del ritiro diSega dal mercato hardware: piuttosto, ci concentreremo su quanto Dreamcast sia stata una console rivoluzionaria, capace di sfornare idee che all’epoca potevano sembrare un azzardo, ma che in realtà hanno modellato il mondo dei videogiochi in quello che è al giorno d’oggi.

  • Japanese Videogames in the UK, 1991-2019
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by ResearchSPace - Bath Spa University Slower, Squashed and Six Months Late（Newman） Slower, Squashed and Six Months Late： Japanese Videogames in the UK, 1991-2019 James Newman （College of Liberal Arts, Bath Spa University） Abstract： There is a growing body of English language materials on game history, whether scholarly overviews and readers (e.g. Lowood and Guins 2016; Wolf 2007); investigations of specific platforms (Arsenault 2017; Ruggill and McAlister 2015), more popular accounts of the industry and market (e.g. DeMaria and Wilson 2012; Forster et al 2005) including particular companies (e.g. Ryan 2012; Sheff 1993) and even the influence of Japanese games outside Japan (Kohler 2016). However, while such a detailed interest in gaming’s past is encouraging given the almost breathless futurism of industry discourse (see Kline et al 2009), there is, as Grabarczyk (2018) and Wade and Webber (2016) note, a decidedly US focus to much of this work. This paper seeks to address this issue in two ways. First, it presents a more nuanced account of the availability, role and meaning of Japanese videogames in the UK throughout the 1990s and beyond. To do this, this paper begins by exploring the institutional, infrastructural and technological conditions that gave rise to distinctive market and retail contexts that are unaccounted for in the largely US centric work on game history. The paper considers the impact of the staggered release schedules that saw Japanese games and systems launched months and even years later in the UK.

  • Sega History
    Sega History Come Nintendo, le radici di Sega si pongono in un epoca pre-gaming. Contrariamente a quanto si possa pensare, Sega era all’inizio una compagnia americana: fu fondata negli anni ’50 a Honolulu e il suo obbiettivo era provvedere all’intrattenimento dei militari dell’esercito americano. I loro prodotti principali erano slot machine, cabine fotografiche ma soprattutto giochi elettromeccanici. In uno scenario in cui ancora i videogiochi su schermo non esistevanoSega , negli anni ’60, produsse Periscope, un gioco elettromeccanico considerato da molti un pilastro sul quale si sarebbe costruita intorno l’intera scena arcade. Periscope, insieme ad altri titoli comeDuck Hunt e Missile, attrassero l’interesse di un gruppo di investitori giapponesi che presto investirono nella compagnia e comprarono grossa parte degli asset. L’era arcade e il Master System Arrivano gli anni 80 e si assiste al boom delle arcade e di Atari nel mercato casalingo. Sega, visto il successo con i giochi elettromeccanici, decide di entrare nel mercato dei giochi elettronici, e comincia rilasciare i suoi primi giochi quali Head On, Monaco Gp, Zaxxon e Pengo che si rivelano, sia nelle arcade che nelle console casalinghe, dei veri successi commerciali.Sega , sin dagli inizi, dimostrò di essere una vera e propria pioniera dell’innovazione: in un periodo in cuiPac Man, Centipede e Galaga spopolavano, Sega era già all’opera con gli scaling, in Buck Rogers: Planet of Zoom, e persino con i Laserdisc, anticipando l’uscita di Dragon’s Lair con Astron Belt in tutto il mondo (tranne negli Stati Uniti, dove il popolarissimo gioco con i disegni di Don Bluth arrivò per primo).

  • Game Inspector : Une Étude De Cas Sur La Préservation Du Jeu
    Numéro spécial Préserver le jeu Août 2018 89-119 Game Inspector : une étude de cas sur la préservation du jeu James Newman Bath Spa University Traduit de l’anglais par Dominique Pelletier et Alex Gauthier Résumé : Cet article présente l’élaboration du Game Inspector au National Videogame Arcade (Royaume-Uni) et l’implémentation de ce dispositif à travers une étude de cas de Super Mario Bros. Ce développement a été influencé par des recherches antérieures et des débats courants à propos de la préservation de l’expérience jouable. En tenant compte de la difficulté et de la complexité des jeux vidéo, j’explique les avantages des documents audiovisuels annotés dans le contexte d’une exposition muséale. Mots-clés : Préservation du jeu vidéo, Exposition de jeu vidéo, Super Mario Bros., National Videogame Arcade Le 28 mars 2015, la National Videogame Arcade (NVA) au Royaume-Uni ouvrait ses portes au grand public. Située au centre-ville de Nottingham, c’est à la fois un « centre culturel pour les jeux vidéo [...], une galerie d’art, un musée et un centre éducatif » (Parkin 2015a). Côtoyant une myriade de consoles, d’arcades à jetons et d’objets de collection donnés ou acquis par le public Game Inspector : une étude de cas sur la préservation du jeu et par les vétérans de l’industrie, une nouvelle forme d’exposition interprétative a vu le jour : le projet Game Inspector. Des appareils conçus et fabriqués spécifiquement par les commissaires et ingénieurs de la NVA, les Game Inspectors permettent aux visiteurs d’explorer, dans certains jeux vidéo, la conception des niveaux, le placement des objets et des ennemis et la multiplicité des trajectoires, qui révèlent des objets cachés, des bonus, des tableaux et même des niveaux secrets.
