  • THE MYSTERIOUS LARA CROFT: Digibimbo Vs. Digiheroine
    THE MYSTERIOUS LARA CROFT: Digibimbo vs. Digiheroine 1 Rachelle Fernandez February 12th, 2001 STS145: Case History Prospectus Every once in a while, a game comes along whose influence extends beyond the gaming world and into contemporary society. One interesting and hotly debated aspect of this is the role certain video games play in gender politics. Consider the following. Scene One. A helicopter, its propellers whipping the air, zooms into the scene and drops down an agile figure onto the ground. It’s a woman, dressed in hiking shorts with pistols holstered to both thighs. The woman has landed in a dark cave and, after a cautious look around, begins to explore it, sometimes walking cautiously, other times running ahead, leaping boulders. She comes across a flare lying mysteriously on the wet cavern floor. With a happy sigh, she picks the item up. Suddenly the woman hears low grumble behind her and somersaults backwards to face an angry tiger. She whips out two automatic pistols and blasts the tiger to its death, her face contorted in a snarl. Scene Two. An exotic dancer is performing in a strip club. The camera zooms away from her to reveal an empty audience. The slogan “Where The Boys Are” is flashed across the screen while a crowd of lusty men rapidly exit the strip club in pursuit of the same woman we just saw exploring eerie caverns. 2 This “woman” isn’t even really a woman at all. She’s Lara Croft, the star in the hit video game series Tomb Raider. Lara Croft is something of a cultural icon.

Arkanoid), volanti (giochi di corse), pistole (es. Duck Hunt) potrebbero non essere controllabili con joystick, ma richiedono periferiche ad hoc, al momento non configurabili. - I giochi che richiedono controller analogici (Playstation, Nintendo 64, etc etc) potrebbero non essere controllabili con plance a levetta singola, ma richiedono, appunto, un joypad con analogici (venduto separatamente). - Questo elenco è relativo alla scheda NEW PLATINUM EDITION basata su Raspberry Pi4. - Gli emulatori di sistemi 3D (Playstation, Nintendo64, Dreamcast) e PC (Amiga, Commodore) sono presenti SOLO nella NEW PLATINUM Pi4 e non sulle versioni Pi3 Plus e Gold. - Gli emulatori Atomiswave, Sega Naomi (Virtua Tennis, Virtua Striker, etc.) sono presenti SOLO nelle schede Pi4. - La versione PLUS Pi3B+ emula solo 550 titoli ARCADE, generati casualmente al momento dell'acquisto e non modificabile.

These early forms of computer media were usually delivered over non-streaming channels, by playing it back from CD-ROMs or by downloading a digital file from a remote web server and saving it to a local hard drive on the end user's computer.

  • Digital Video and Audio for Multimedia and Web Development? the Non–Definitive a to Z* Guide
    so you want to know about digital video and audio for multimedia and web development? The Non–definitive A to Z* Guide. © Michael Heller, Intern Cooper International Learning Center, Oberlin College A Presentation for the Five Colleges of Ohio Language Technology Initiative Summer 1997 Macintosh–based Web Authoring Workshop Macintosh is an excellent multimedia and web development platform due to its ease of use, its operating system’s provisions for cross–platform compatibility, and Apple’s Quicktime Media Layer (QTML). Multimedia projects developed on Macintosh using Macromedia’s Director and Authorware or Apple’s Media Tool can be viewed by most Macintosh (MC68040 and PowerPC) as well as most standard Windows-Intel workstations. In addition, web development on Macintosh is simplified by its intelligent graphical user interface and can be delivered to any HTML 2.0/3.0 compliant browser. A. What does that mumbo jumbo mean? It means that using Macintosh to develop computer–based video and audio materials is the way to go. Macintosh is especially suited to converting video and audio so that it can be used by most computers and on the web. B. So, how do I develop these audio and video materials? If you have an 8500 or 8600 Mac, then you have almost all the tools you need straight out of the box. The 8X00 series has a built–in Digital Audio/Video board which allows input (digitizing, or the conversion from analog to digital) of audio and video signals and output (conversion back to analog) of audio and video signals. Video Tools Eventually, you may need some additional software tools, but for beginners, Apple’s Video Player (1.6 in your Apple Extras folder) and Movie Player with Authoring extensions (2.5.1, in your Apple Extras folder:Quicktime Folder) will suffice for video capture and editing (including the audio soundtrack).
