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.

  • Interview with an Ex-ACG (Ashby Computers & Graphics) Employee
    Interview With An Ex-ACG (Ashby Computers & Graphics) Employee Background Over the past few months on the ultimate-wurlde.com site, I've alluded to an ongoing conversation with someone who used to work for 'Ultimate', and I promised to reveal some of the secrets that this source had disclosed to me. However, you can't just blunder into this kind of thing! Firstly, you have to build up a degree of trust; I need to assure my source that I'm not going to blurt out something given in good faith (and in confidence), and I need to feel happy that I'm not being hoaxed by some prankster! Trust was duly established, and after some to-ing and fro-ing between us, I've finally managed to get around to conducting an 'interview' via email... December 2001 The Interview Rob: Hi, and thanks for agreeing to be interviewed! First off; what is your relationship with Ultimate? ACG: I was employed there for quite a few years up until just before the US Gold takeover. I never worked on the programming side when I was employed at AC&G although I did get to mingle with the programmers quite regularly as we were a relatively small, close and friendly group of employees. These days I work elsewhere, but I still remain in contact with them! Rob: Given how hard it is to get ex-AC&G people to talk, I assume that there was some kind of policy not to talk to anyone outside of the company - one that still seems to be in place? ACG: The quietness UPTG showed towards the press was not intentional and came about purely by accident.

  • The Many Lives of the Jetman: a Case Study in Video Game Analysis Will Brooker
    The Many Lives of the Jetman: A Case Study in Video Game Analysis Will Brooker This article examines the changing meanings and forms of the computer game Jetpac, which was originally released by Ultimate for the ZX Spectrum in 1983 and has been recoded by individual programmers during the late 1990s, in at least three different shareware versions, for PC and Spectrum emulators. Through this analysis, it asks a simple question: how can we approach, and perhaps teach, the academic study of computer and video games? Introduction: Games and Theory At the present time, it seems that the study of video games is considered suitable for courses in technical production and for magazine and newspaper reviews, but not for academic degree modules or, with very few exceptions, for scholarly analysis [1]. Video games are a job for those at the design and coding end of the process, and a leisure pursuit for those at the consumption end. There exists very little critical framework for analysing this unique media form. This article suggests a possible set of approaches, based partially on the two pioneering studies of video games of the late 1990s: J.C. Herz’s Joystick Nation (London, Abacus 1997) and Steven Poole’s Trigger Happy (London: Fourth Estate, 2000). Both are exceptional and invaluable sallies into the field, yet both tend towards the journalistic, crafting nifty prose and snappy rhetoric at the expense of academic conventions. Poole, for instance, ends his early chapter sub-sections with slogan-neat but essentially meaningless tags such as “Kill them all”, [2] “You were just too slow” [3] “Go ahead, jump”[4] and, perhaps most glaringly, “The fighting game, like fighting itself, will always be popular”[5].

  • Retro Asylum Asked If I Would Help Do Some Research for Their Upcoming Psygnosis Podcast, It Was a Task of Which I Was Honoured to Do
    The stunning Front cover art has been put together by Phil Hockaday. A truly memorising piece of art that encapsulates all that was great about Psygnosis. Thank you Phil for your stunning talent and efforts. 2014 Introduction When Sam (MrSid) and Steve (PressPlayonTape) from Retro Asylum asked if I would help do some research for their upcoming Psygnosis podcast, it was a task of which I was honoured to do. The trouble is though, I don’t like doing things by half, and so as I started to compile some research notes, and the pages started to mount, I hit upon an idea. If I put the research notes in a nice pretty form, then it could be offered as a free book with the podcast itself. Something that could act as an adjoining love letter to Psygnosis, going right from the beginning of Imagine Software, until it’s final demise under the name SCE Studio Liverpool in 2012. This book covers that story of Psygnosis, followed by a massive game list (a Psygnopaedia ) covering every game Psygnosis has released (hopefully I haven’t missed any). Finally there is a cover gallery section, showing some of the best game box art Psygnosis has produced. Anyway, I hope you enjoy, and hope to see you on the Retro Asylum forum. - Paul Driscoll (AKA The Drisk) Who are we anyway? Retro Asylum http://retroasylum.com/ The UK’s No 1. Retro Gaming Podcast.
