Ved at indtage et fænomenologisk ståsted, ønsker dette speciale at undersøge, hvordan disse gamle spil manifesterer sig i respondenternes livsverdener og hvad dette indebærer for deres opfattelse og brug af disse gamle spil. Denne undersøgelse er blevet betragtet som frugtbar, da den kan problematisere og videreudvikle den nuværende akademiske diskurs omkring retrogaming, der reducerer alle nutidige interaktioner med gamle spil til en aktivitet, der er motiveret af nostalgi. Ved at analysere de indsamlede interviewdata, argumenteres der i dette speciale for, at der eksisterer flere motivationer til at spille gamle spil, udover nostalgi. Dette speciale identificerer fire motivationer udover nostalgi. Den første type, kaldet amatørarkæologen, er interesseret i at spille ”dårlige” og kuriøse gamle spil, på grund af en form for ironisk nydelse og historisk nysgerrighed.

  • Jumpchain CYOA
    Jumpchain CYOA Lights! Camera! Action 52! Make your selection now! You press the directional buttons and scroll to option 52. You don’t remember having this game in your possession, or if you do you haven’t paid it much thought in a while. Still, something compels you to press the button to start. A cutscene begins to play as you select the option. What fresh hell is this. You have received +1000 Cheetah Points to spend to prepare you for the ten years you will spend here. Level 1: A Brief Explanation Some time ago, a mad scientist by the name of Dr. Morbis killed a mother cheetah, then stole her three cubs for his mutational research. He named them Aries, Apollo, and Hercules, and wished for them to lead his planned army of Sub-Species mutants to greatness. However, when the good-hearted Cheetahmen learned of their creator’s evil plans, they turned against him and escaped. In retaliation, he created his Sub-Species army, and tasked them with his destruction of his failed expirements (sic). Your time here starts at the beginning of the Cheetahmen’s first adventure, after their run-in with the so-called Action Gamemaster. His story, however, does not mention Dr. Morbis, and he is never seen again. In fact, there is even another version where the goal of the Cheetahmen is simply to rescue three cheetah cubs captured by Dr. Morbis for his undefined nefarious plans. The time and place, beyond the Cheetahmen having been captured in Africa, is left undescribed. Level 2: Origins Each origin below possesses its own age range, a starting location, and a single set of perks and items which are discounted to it.

  • Las Mascotas Corporativas De Los Videojuegos De Los Años 90: Un Símbolo De Los Millennials*
    Universidad de Medellín Las mascotas corporativas de los videojuegos de los años 90: un símbolo de los millennials* Pedro Vázquez-Miraz** Recibido: 2017-11-05. Enviado a pares: 2017-12-10. Aprobado por pares: 2018-01-10. Aceptado: 2018-01-28 http://doi.org/10.22395/angr.v17n33a9 Resumen Se presenta en este artículo un estudio cualitativo que recopila las principales y más populares mascotas corporativas del sector de los videojuegos de la década de los años 90, una efímera tendencia empresarial que desaparecería en el siglo XXI y que estaba basada en el éxito previo de las compañías Nintendo y Sega con sus respectivas creaciones: Mario y Sonic. Por medio de un análisis comparativo entre estos personajes de videojuegos y las características de la juventud de finales del milenio (la denominada generación Y o millennial), se ha observado que el patrón común de todos estos símbolos mercantiles se fundamentaba en representaciones sociales y culturales relacionadas con el comportamiento, el aspecto físico, las aficiones y la psique de la juventud de finales del siglo XX. Palabras clave: videojuegos, publicidad, diseño, personaje, jugadores, adolescentes, generación Y, millennials. * Artículo inédito soportado por el proyecto Estudios de género: economía, comunicación y educación (2018) realizado bajo el amparo del grupo de investigación de Desarrollo, Salud y Desempeño Humano de la Universidad Tecnológica de Bolívar. ** Doctor en Ciencias Sociales y del Comportamiento por la Universidad de La Coruña (España) y licenciado en Psicología Social por la Universidad de Santiago de Compostela (España).
