  • A History of Video Game Consoles Introduction the First Generation
    A History of Video Game Consoles By Terry Amick – Gerald Long – James Schell – Gregory Shehan Introduction Today video games are a multibillion dollar industry. They are in practically all American households. They are a major driving force in electronic innovation and development. Though, you would hardly guess this from their modest beginning. The first video games were played on mainframe computers in the 1950s through the 1960s (Winter, n.d.). Arcade games would be the first glimpse for the general public of video games. Magnavox would produce the first home video game console featuring the popular arcade game Pong for the 1972 Christmas Season, released as Tele-Games Pong (Ellis, n.d.). The First Generation Magnavox Odyssey Rushed into production the original game did not even have a microprocessor. Games were selected by using toggle switches. At first sales were poor because people mistakenly believed you needed a Magnavox TV to play the game (GameSpy, n.d., para. 11). By 1975 annual sales had reached 300,000 units (Gamester81, 2012). Other manufacturers copied Pong and began producing their own game consoles, which promptly got them sued for copyright infringement (Barton, & Loguidice, n.d.). The Second Generation Atari 2600 Atari released the 2600 in 1977. Although not the first, the Atari 2600 popularized the use of a microprocessor and game cartridges in video game consoles. The original device had an 8-bit 1.19MHz 6507 microprocessor (“The Atari”, n.d.), two joy sticks, a paddle controller, and two game cartridges. Combat and Pac Man were included with the console. In 2007 the Atari 2600 was inducted into the National Toy Hall of Fame (“National Toy”, n.d.).

  • Console Games in the Age of Convergence
    Console Games in the Age of Convergence Mark Finn Swinburne University of Technology John Street, Melbourne, Victoria, 3122 Australia +61 3 9214 5254 mfi [email protected] Abstract In this paper, I discuss the development of the games console as a converged form, focusing on the industrial and technical dimensions of convergence. Starting with the decline of hybrid devices like the Commodore 64, the paper traces the way in which notions of convergence and divergence have infl uenced the console gaming market. Special attention is given to the convergence strategies employed by key players such as Sega, Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft, and the success or failure of these strategies is evaluated. Keywords Convergence, Games histories, Nintendo, Sega, Sony, Microsoft INTRODUCTION Although largely ignored by the academic community for most of their existence, recent years have seen video games attain at least some degree of legitimacy as an object of scholarly inquiry. Much of this work has focused on what could be called the textual dimension of the game form, with works such as Finn [17], Ryan [42], and Juul [23] investigating aspects such as narrative and character construction in game texts. Another large body of work focuses on the cultural dimension of games, with issues such as gender representation and the always-controversial theme of violence being of central importance here. Examples of this approach include Jenkins [22], Cassell and Jenkins [10] and Schleiner [43]. 45 Proceedings of Computer Games and Digital Cultures Conference, ed. Frans Mäyrä. Tampere: Tampere University Press, 2002. Copyright: authors and Tampere University Press. Little attention, however, has been given to the industrial dimension of the games phenomenon.

  • The Big Players in the Late 19080S and Early 1990S Were Two Japanese
    Geoffrey Allen B. Nuval 2/18/2003 STS 145: History of Computer Game Design Case Study THE PLUMBER AND THE HEDGEHOG: A Case Study of Two Games that Defined the Epic Nintendo-Sega Rivalry They were the Beatles and Stones of the late 1980s and early 1990s. Nintendo was the Beatles: wholesome fun for all the family, with superior artistry but a slightly “safe” image; Sega, on the other hand, was the snarling, street-smart gang, roughing it up for the hardcore videogame fans. -Steven Poole, Trigger Happy Before the battle between home videogame consoles was infiltrated by media and technology powerhouses, before the Playstation or the Xbox were the weapons of choice, before Lara Croft became a modern day Joan of Arc; two Japanese videogame titans locked horns during the latter 1980s and early 1990s in an epic fight that encompassed the world and left a multibillion dollar industry in its wake. The two camps, Nintendo Co. Ltd. and Sega Enterprises Ltd., respectively appointed icons to lead their fronts: a plumber named Mario and a hedgehog named Sonic. Through a mixture of technical, business, and cultural perspectives, this case study will give us insight into one of the most crucial points of the Nintendo-Sega War, documenting the events, decisions, and people involved with the release of Nintendo’s Super Mario Bros. 3 and the subsequent release of Sega’s Sonic the Hedgehog. These two games not only defined a rivalry between Mario and Sonic as they competed for the leading character role in the videogame industry, they also helped to create a cultural divide and intensify the greater rivalry between the once mighty Sega and Nintendo camps.

  • Sega Genesis Controller Interfacing Mason Strong, Stephen Just 2016-04-02
    Sega Genesis Controller Interfacing Mason Strong, Stephen Just 2016-04-02 1 Introduction The Sega Genesis was an old 16-bit game con- sole that was released in North America in 1989. [1] This console features support for two gamepads. Each gamepad has four direc- tional buttons, a \Start" button, and either three or six action buttons, depending on model of controller. The three-button con- troller has a much simpler interface than the six-button controller, making use of a multi- plexer and no other logic to access all of the buttons. This document focuses only on the Figure 1: Genesis Controller three-button Genesis controller. The Genesis controllers also use a standard DB-9 connector, unlike most other game consoles which use proprietary connectors. [2] 2 Controller Interface The Genesis controller uses a female DB-9 connector to interface with a Genesis console or other device. The pins on this connector are configured as follows: 1 Pin Func (select low) Func (select high) 1 up button up button 2 down button down button 3 logic low left button 4 logic low right button 5 Power (+5 volts) Power (+5 Volts) 6 A button B button 7 select signal select signal 8 Ground Ground 9 Start button C button While the controller was designed for +5 Volts for power, because of its simple design, it is possible to determine that it is actually capable of 2 - 6 Volts. This is possible because the controller only contains a single 74HC157 multiplexer chip inside, whose datasheet specifies that the device is operable within that range albeit with varying delay times.

  • Sega-CD Technical Bulletins.Pdf
    • SEGA-CD TECH BULLETIN To: Sega-CD Developers Date: 6/16/92 From: S. Bayless CC: J. Huether T. Reuterdahl Subject: The U.S. BIOS Although you haven't seen it yet, SOJ is currently revising the BIOS for the U.S. market. While most of the changes are cosmetic, there are a couple that aren't. Security Code The block of code that puts up the Sega logo, prints a copyright message and plays the little "Segaaa" sound bite has been changed significantly. This has two effects. First, you'll be getting an assembly language file with a bunch of DC.B's in it which you'll need to put at the beginning of your IP before the new ROM will accept it. Second, you'll need to change the values stored in the ID Block of your boot sector. Boot Sector Because the security code has gotten quite a bit bigger, you'll almost certainly have to change your System ID to handle an IP larger than $600 bytes. The "normal" System ID shown on pages 18 and 19 of the Mega-CD Disk Format Manual shows the IP and SP addresses like this: ;Disk Address,Load Size,Entry Offset,Work RAM DC.L $00000200,$00000600,$00000000,$00000000 ;IP DC.L $00000800,$00007800,$00000000,$00000000 ;SP Note that IP starts at $200, which is just past the ID Blocks, and SP starts at $800 which is the beginning of Sector 1. (Remember, each sector is $800 bytes long.) Incidentally, the $7800 in the manual is wrong. It should be $7200, since it's intended equal the number of bytes remaining between the end of IP and the end of sector 15.
