By allowing other video game companies to produce work that has some similarities allowable within copyright law but hinder a former employee from also doing so by merely threatening legal action resembles the specter of a non-compete agreement, but without its traditional limitations.

To own the game is a kind of badge of honour among archivists, but how many have bought the game only to tuck it away until it realises higher prices in the future?

Played now, it has lost none of its mesmeric charms has lost none of its mesmeric charms or raw spirit. Indie coder Jeff Minter was given the task of converting Dave Thuerer’s 1981 arcade classic to Atari’s new console. With the benefit of hindsight it was a perfect match, but the original deal was struck in a ludicrously casual manner. “I’d been doing some work for Atari UK,” explains Minter, “stuff like Defender II and Atomic Tadpoles Vs Savage Mutant Weirdos From Basingstoke [released as Photon Storm], and I’d already done a couple of months’ work on the Panther system that never got released.

  • Tempest 3000
    Tempest 3000 NUON VM LABS, INC PAGE 1 09/02/99 CONFIDENTIAL I. HISTORY In 1981 Dave Theurer set out to create a 3D version of Space Invaders. What he ultimately ended up with however, was much more. He named his creation Tempest and it was an instant hit at arcades everywhere. More than 20 years later, Tempest was still a favorite of many video game enthusiasts worldwide. One of these enthusiasts was Jeff Minter. Unlike most other fans, Minter had also made quite a name for himself as President of Llamasoft and creator of games such as Llamatron and Attack of the Mutant Camels. While these games never garnered the success of a Doom or Quake, they did create quite a cult following of devote fans who enjoy Minter's psychedelic style. Minter decided to create a new version of Tempest for the short lived Atari Jaguar. Instead of simply updating the sound and graphics of the original title, Minter set out to make the game his own by adding his trademark psychedelic flair. Couple that with a mind numbing techno soundtrack and you have an instant hit. Tempest 2000 was not only critically acclaimed, but sold well, and even prompted many to purchase a Jaguar just to play it. It is now 1999, and Jeff Minter has ventured into some of the most twisted recesses of his mind, to once again re-create Tempest. Available exclusively for NUON, Tempest 3000 utilizes the latest technological advances, as well as years of game design experience. Prepare to experience the wonder one more time.

    Revised Pages Tempest Revised Pages LANDMARK VIDEO GAMES The Landmark Video Games book series is the first in the English language in which each book addresses a specific video game or video game series in depth, examining it in the light of a variety of approaches, including game design, genre, form, content, meanings, and its context within video game his- tory. The specific games or game series chosen are historically significant and influential games recognized not only for their quality of gameplay but also for setting new standards, introducing new ideas, incorporating new technol- ogy, or otherwise changing the course of a genre or area of video game history. The Landmark Video Games book series hopes to provide an intimate and detailed look at the history of video games through a study of exemplars that have paved the way and set the course that others would follow or emulate, and that became an important part of popular culture.

Table of Contents Keywords/mots clés (English) counterculture / resistance digitality representation (visual) sound system technologies / devices websites / blogs / forums [hacking] (not in taxonomy) [music visualization] (not in taxonomy) Geographical index N/A Chrono index 1990–2000 UNCORRECTED Author Typescript August 2019 Author’s biography Eamonn Bell holds a doctorate in music theory from Columbia University (2019), where he wrote a dissertation on the early history of computing in the analysis of musical scores, under the supervision of Joseph Dubiel. At Columbia, he designed and taught a course on the critique of digital music (2018), and instructed the undergraduate sections in history of Western music for non- musicians (2018) and the fundamentals of music theory (2017). His research interests include: the history of technology as it relates to musical production and consumption in the twentieth century, with a focus on the first digital computers; the applied use of mathematical and contemporary computational techniques to solve problems in musicology and music theory; and visualizations of musical data. He also holds a bachelor’s degree in Music and Mathematics from Trinity College, Dublin (TCD) (2013). He recently begain a two-year research fellowship at his alma mater, where he is working on the cultural history of optical sound-recording media. Resumé (Abstract) Foreshadowing in purpose and execution the music visualizers that were widely distributed with software media players during the early 2000s, Jeff Minter’s Virtual Light Machine (VLM) was distributed in the firmware of the commercially unsuccessful Atari Jaguar CD games console, which was released in 1995.
