  • 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.).

  • The Dreamcast, Console of the Avant-Garde
    Loading… The Journal of the Canadian Game Studies Association Vol 6(9): 82-99 http://loading.gamestudies.ca The Dreamcast, Console of the Avant-Garde Nick Montfort Mia Consalvo Massachusetts Institute of Technology Concordia University [email protected] [email protected] Abstract We argue that the Dreamcast hosted a remarkable amount of videogame development that went beyond the odd and unusual and is interesting when considered as avant-garde. After characterizing the avant-garde, we investigate reasons that Sega's position within the industry and their policies may have facilitated development that expressed itself in this way and was received by gamers using terms that are associated with avant-garde work. We describe five Dreamcast games (Jet Grind Radio, Space Channel 5, Rez, Seaman, and SGGG) and explain how the advances made by these industrially productions are related to the 20th century avant- garde's lesser advances in the arts. We conclude by considering the contributions to gaming that were made on the Dreamcast and the areas of inquiry that remain to be explored by console videogame developers today. Author Keywords Aesthetics; art; avant-garde; commerce; console games; Dreamcast; game studios; platforms; politics; Sega; Tetsuya Mizuguchi Introduction A platform can facilitate new types of videogame development and can expand the concept of videogaming. The Dreamcast, however brief its commercial life, was a platform that allowed for such work to happen and that accomplished this. It is not just that there were a large number of weird or unusual games developed during the short commercial life of this platform. We argue, rather, that avant-garde videogame development happened on the Dreamcast, even though this development occurred in industrial rather than "indie" or art contexts.

  • Lazard Japanese Strategic Equity Fund Monthly Commentary
    Lazard Japanese Strategic Equity Fund AUG Commentary 2021 Market Overview Markets were on the weak side for the rst few weeks of the month due to concerns that rapidly increasing delta variant cases around the world would side-track the current global economic recovery following pandemic period lows. However, the market made a strong recovery in the last week-and-a-half, with the TOPIX Total Return index nishing the month up a solid 3.2% in yen terms. Tokyo managed to host a reasonably successful Olympics and Japan even produced a strong showing in the medal count, particularly in gold medals. Portfolio Review During the month, the portfolio underperformed the TOPIX Total Return Index which returned 3.2% in yen terms. Being underweight and stock selection in consumer discretionary, and stock selection in the materials and utilities sectors were top contributors to performance. Being underweight and stock selection in health care, stock selection in communication services, and being underweight and stock selection in information technology sectors were negative. During the month, the top positive contributors to relative performance included: • Nippon Steel, Japan’s largest steel manufacturer, was strong after reporting better-than-expected rst-quarter earnings and raising its full-year guidance. • Mitsui O.S.K.Lines, a leading shipping company, continued to rise due to stronger-than-expected earnings and a better-than- expected dividend increase. • Makita, a leading global manufacturer of power tools, raised full-year guidance as its rst-quarter saw continued strong demand globally. • Dai-ichi Life Holdings, a leading life insurance company, rose as the yield on 10-year U.S.

  • History of Nintendo – Comprehension
    The history of Nintendo – comprehension The history of Nintendo Nintendo is a Japanese company that has made video games and video game consoles since the 1970s. It was originally a company that made playing cards and then it started to make toys. Nintendo began making video games in the 1970s. In 1980, the company released a hand-held game device called ‘Game and Watch’. It was battery operated and not in colour but the games were very playable and fun. Nintendo's first video game console was the colour TV Game, Famicom, but the company really became successful with its second console, "Nintendo Entertainment System", or NES for short. Nintendo also released many popular video games like Donkey Kong, Super Mario Bros., Duck Hunt, and The Legend of Zelda. Later, the company made hand-held consoles such as the Game Boy and DS, and consoles such as Nintendo 64, GameCube, Wii, and WiiU. Nintendo’s newest release is the Nintendo Switch. It has a smart design and different functions but some fans have said the games and accessories are too expensive. The switch will compete with Sony’s PS4 virtual reality headset in a very crowded market. © www.teachitprimary.co.uk 2017 29783 Page 1 of 3 The history of Nintendo – comprehension Name: ...............................................................

Another good option is to enable available options. the automatic power-down feature already built into your device. These features are often disabled initially, so you have to activate them yourself, but they can save tons of energy without negatively affecting your gaming experience. If you have an Xbox One, disconnecting your cable box from your gaming console when you want to watch TV is another great way to reduce energy use.

  • Should You Buy the Nintendo Switch?
    Should You Buy the Nintendo Switch? By Nathaniel Evans I have been playing Nintendo consoles since I was 6 years old. I first played games offered by Nintendo Game Boy Advance and, as the years went by, I moved on to the Nintendo Ds then the Nintendo Wii. I own every single console ever made by Nintendo, except the Nintendo Wii-U because it would have been redundant. Having been a huge Nintendo fan my entire life and based on my experience with the consoles, I can attest that the Nintendo Switch is well worth the money and just may be the best console that they have ever produced. If you have not bought a Nintendo Switch yet, allow me to share with you why I did. The Nintendo Switch is not any run of the mill console. Yes, it outputs video of your games to a television just like any other console, but it has one added benefit, portability. Haven’t you ever wanted to just take your PS4 or Xbox One anywhere at any time, but cannot because it must be tethered to a television at all times? Well, the Switch has you backed up since the Switch not only outputs to a television screen, but it is also a tablet that allows you to play video games anywhere and at any time on the built in screen. Ever notice how creative Nintendo’s hardware is compared to the competition? They were one of the first to have an analog stick fully integrated into a console in the 90s on the Nintendo 64, they were the first to fully integrate motion control gaming into a console with the Wii, and in the recent past, they were the first to make a console that is fully portable and still have it pack a graphics punch.
