  • 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].

  • Paradroid - Paradroid '90
    Paradroid - Paradroid '90 Il existe des jeux qui amènent quelque chose au monde du jeu vidéo: un concept, une ambiance (graphique, sonore), un scénario, un gameplay... ou tout cela à la fois. Bien souvent, ces jeux "font date". Bien souvent, ces jeux sont reconnus mondialement. Et des fois pas. Nous sommes au milieu des années 80 ( 27 années déjà ! ), et Graftgold s'apprête à sortir un nouveau jeu. De quelle trempe sera celui-ci ? Le titre semble prometteur, dans tous les cas intriguant pour les amateurs de science-fiction : Paradroid (Parasite droid ? Droïde paranoïde ? Droïde parachute ? Par Râ : droïde !). Nom: Paradroid Editeur UK: Hewson Consultants Ltd. Editeur US: Thunder Mountain Studio de développement : Graftgold Machine: C64 Année: 1985 (1ere édition) Genre: Mécatronique Nom: Paradroid '90 - Paradroid 2000 Editeur: Hewson Consultants Ltd.

Oh, vous pouvez ranger votre serpillière, votre balai et l'eau de Javel, ce n'est pas de ce ménage dont il s'agit... Non, vous contrôlez un droïde qui va devoir nettoyer un vaisseau entier. Et pas un robot aspirateur, non m'sieur. C'est bel et bien d'une arme redoutable dont il s'agit : un droïde hackeur de droïdes. Comment ça, "c'est quoi ça" ? Eh bien, le robot que vous commandez peut s'infiltrer dans les mécanismes de contrôle d'autres boîtes de ferraille plus ou moins intelligentes, et ce, pour en prendre possession. Rien que ça.

  • Keeping the Game Alive: Evaluating Strategies for the Preservation of Console Video Games
    64 Keeping the Game Alive The International Journal of Digital Curation Issue 1, Volume 5 | 2010 Keeping the Game Alive: Evaluating Strategies for the Preservation of Console Video Games Mark Guttenbrunner, Christoph Becker, Andreas Rauber, Vienna University of Technology Abstract Interactive fiction and video games are part of our cultural heritage. As original systems cease to work because of hardware and media failures, methods to preserve obsolete video games for future generations have to be developed. The public interest in early video games is high, as exhibitions, regular magazines on the topic and newspaper articles demonstrate. Moreover, games considered to be classic are rereleased for new generations of gaming hardware. However, with the rapid development of new computer systems, the way games look and are played changes constantly. When trying to preserve console video games one faces problems of classified development documentation, legal aspects and extracting the contents from original media like cartridges with special hardware. Furthermore, special controllers and non-digital items are used to extend the gaming experience making it difficult to preserve the look and feel of console video games. This paper discusses strategies for the digital preservation of console video games. After a short overview of console video game systems, there follows an introduction to digital preservation and related work in common strategies for digital preservation and preserving interactive art. Then different preservation strategies are described with a specific focus on emulation. Finally a case study on console video game preservation is shown which uses the Planets preservation planning approach for evaluating preservation strategies in a documented decision-making process.
