LEGO® Island: Birth of a LEGO Video Game
LEGO® Island: Birth of a LEGO Video Game It may not have been the first LEGO® video game, but it was arguably the most impactful. LEGO Island released in September 1997 to overwhelmingly positive reviews. The open- world LEGO game went on to become a best seller two years in a row and planted the roots for what would become the most successful approach to both the looks of digital LEGO bricks and the philosophical approach to digital play with those toys. The game's timing couldn't have been better. Game Crash and Nintendo Fear To fully understand how and why the LEGO Group greenlit the creation of LEGO Island, you need to go back to the infamous video game crash of 1983. Video game revenue peaked that year, but a combination of over investment and poor control of physical stock led to a drop of nearly 97 percent in revenue by 1985. The collapse bankrupted a slew of video game companies and nearly destroyed the once-booming video game industry. In 1986, Nintendo managed to revive the industry by sneaking its Nintendo Entertainment System console into toy stores. It did this by packaging the system with a plastic robot and marketing it more as a toy than a video game console. The NES's tremendous success reinvigorated the market, and then the arrival of the Game Boy portable system in 1989 expanded that market. Over the next half-decade, the number of companies reentering the game industry began to blossom. By 1995, the arrival of the fifth generation of consoles included massive players like Sony and its PlayStation.

You've Seen the Movie, Now Play The
“YOU’VE SEEN THE MOVIE, NOW PLAY THE VIDEO GAME”: RECODING THE CINEMATIC IN DIGITAL MEDIA AND VIRTUAL CULTURE Stefan Hall A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2011 Committee: Ronald Shields, Advisor Margaret M. Yacobucci Graduate Faculty Representative Donald Callen Lisa Alexander © 2011 Stefan Hall All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Ronald Shields, Advisor Although seen as an emergent area of study, the history of video games shows that the medium has had a longevity that speaks to its status as a major cultural force, not only within American society but also globally. Much of video game production has been influenced by cinema, and perhaps nowhere is this seen more directly than in the topic of games based on movies. Functioning as franchise expansion, spaces for play, and story development, film-to-game translations have been a significant component of video game titles since the early days of the medium. As the technological possibilities of hardware development continued in both the film and video game industries, issues of media convergence and divergence between film and video games have grown in importance. This dissertation looks at the ways that this connection was established and has changed by looking at the relationship between film and video games in terms of economics, aesthetics, and narrative. Beginning in the 1970s, or roughly at the time of the second generation of home gaming consoles, and continuing to the release of the most recent consoles in 2005, it traces major areas of intersection between films and video games by identifying key titles and companies to consider both how and why the prevalence of video games has happened and continues to grow in power.

Interview with Joe Abrams from the Software Toolworks
Interview with Joe Abrams from The Software Toolworks Adrian Bye: Today, I’m talking with Joe Abram, who is an illustrious man from a diverse set of areas. I’ve even actually got a list of things that Scott has given me to ask you about, and maybe put you on the spot a little bit. Joe, why don’t you take it away, and tell us who you are and what you’ve done. Joe Abrams: Sure. I guess my real background is an entrepreneur began in the early 1980’s when I co‐founded a small entertainment company, call the Software Toolworks. My cousin and I started the company in his garage, in Sherman Oaks, Southern California, doing, first, programming tools for operating systems before the Mac, before the IBM PC, for operating systems like CPM, and even systems before that. We grew that company organically, eventually we got to 6‐7 people, and we moved out of his garage, and by 1988, we have grown to about $2million in revenue. At that point, we started branching out from actual pure publishing tools, C compilers, macroassemblers, things like that, to actually publishing applications, which people were writing using our tools. So we had two hit products in the late 80’s, one was Chessmaster (chess‐playing program), the other was Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing (typing tutorial product). We needed to raise a little bit of capital. We had grown the company all by sweat equity up until then. And through a combination of circumstances, we actually did a reverse merger in 1988.

The Casual Revolution Of... 1987 Making Adventure Games Accessible to the Masses
The Casual Revolution of... 1987 Making Adventure Games Accessible to the Masses Jonathan Lessard Concordia University, Montréal 1. Talkin’ about a revolution At the turn of the 21st century, the video game industry became increasingly interested in catering to so-called "casual gamers”—that is players interested in easily accessible games requiring limited time, effort and expertise. In his book on the phenomenon, Jesper Juul (2010) has termed “Casual Revolution” the process that became particularly observable with the success of the broadly-reaching yet technically underwhelming Nintendo Wii console. If a revolution is the sudden disruption of an established state of affairs, this casual revolution should presuppose the existence of something like a “hardcore regime”. The book’s focus being on the revolution itself as well as casual game design, very little information is given on the status quo ante; only a general perception that video games used to be mostly designed for (and played by) dedicated young male fans. Juul argues that the casual revolution is in fact a return to video gaming’s arcade roots: “the moment in which the simplicity of early video games is being rediscovered” (2). His reading of the history of video games through the lens of “casualness” suggests an arc that could be schematized this way: _____________________________________________________________ Kinephanos, ISSN 1916-985X History of Games International Conference Proceedings, January 2014, www.kinephanos.ca The Casual Revolution of… 1987 Figure 1: Schematic representation of the "Casual Revolution" This appealing perspective might effectively reflect reality—or not. In order to judge, one would need to compile data concerning the global “casualness” of the video game offered at different points in time, their targeted demographics, and effective players.
