<p>Ya estoy de vuelta tras mi operación, todavía algo renqueante pero bastante mejor que las últimas semanas. Parece que como mi novia dice &#8220;bicho malo nunca muere&#8221;.</p>
<p>Para celebrar que todo ha ido bastante bien hoy os traigo uno de mis anuncios favoritos sobre uno de mis videojuegos favoritos. Personalmente no me imagino otra forma de promocionar &#8220;Donkey Kong&#8221; más &#8220;cool&#8221; y ochentera, aunque ese actor se parezca más a Luigi que a Mario&#8230;</p>
<p>En cuanto a las tres versiones que se presentan, la de <strong>Atari</strong> era simplemente <strong>decente</strong>, mientras que la versión de <strong>Colecovision</strong> es prácticamente una <strong>réplica del arcade (</strong>si no fuera por sus infectos mandos de control).Por su parte, la conversión para <strong>Intellivision</strong> es símplemente <strong>abominable</strong>.</p>
<p>Lo curioso del tema es que las <strong>conversiónes</strong> para estas tres máquinas fueron <strong>realizadas</strong> por&#8230;<strong>COLECO</strong>, lo que dio lugar a la <strong>leyenda urbana</strong> de que los <strong>programadores tenían orden de que las versiones de Atari 2600 e Intellivision fueran muy inferiores</strong> a la de Colecovision, para que quedara claro que su máquina era la más potente.</p>
<p>Desde luego, en el caso de la conversión a Intellivision (una máquina relativamente potente en la época) la leyenda se convierte en una posible explicación razonable, aunque <strong>personalmente</strong> creo que este lamentable título se debió más a la <strong>inexperiencia de los programadores</strong> para trabajar con un hardware diametralmente opuesto al que solían utilizar y a la<strong> necesidad de lanzar el título cuanto antes</strong>, lo que dejó muy poco tiempo de margen para hacer una conversión más trabajada.</p>
<p>Para completar este post, aquí os dejo los videos de las tres versiones:</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://wp.me/PgAcn-fA" target="_blank">(English version)</a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Lo confesso, sono un convinto pilota di volo simulato, una passione naturale per aerei , aeronautica e il volo in generale. Il <em>nickname</em> di chi scrive, RedBavon dovrebbe già suggerirvi quanto batti in petto questa passione. Sono un giocatore di vecchia data (l’anagrafe non fa sconti) e da altrettanto sono un pilota di volo simulato. I biplani di <strong>Triple Action</strong> su Mattel Intellivision (1981) per me valgono come battesimo di volo e di fuoco. Quando molta parte del “volare” era a carico della fantasia. Per capire cosa intendo, basta guardare la schermata di <strong>Triple Action</strong> del &#8220;gioco dei biplani&#8221; , così come lo chiamavamo mio fratello ed io.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">La nostalgica premessa delle memorie barbose di un vecchio videogiocatore non deve interpretarsi come snobberia da retro-gamer (Il <em>vintage</em> è di moda), ma come una dichiarazione di assoluto amore per le simulazioni di volo, dalle forme embrionali, come <strong>Triple Action</strong>, a quelle estremamente complesse , accompagnate da corposi manuali: tante ore sulle spalle per imparare a volare .</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Volare senza sparare però non mi ha mai coinvolto. Al volo cosiddetto “civile” non mi sono mai appassionato, sono un in-civile: Falcon 4.0 e IL-2 Sturmovik per PC sono le mie simulazioni preferite. <strong>Heatseeker</strong> per Wii è l’esatto opposto.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><!--more--></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://redbavon.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/heatseeker.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-957" title="Heatseeker" src="http://redbavon.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/heatseeker.jpg?w=211" alt="Heatseeker" width="211" height="300" /></a>Mi sono avvicinato a questo gioco con molto scetticismo. Lo sviluppatore, IRGurus (ora Transmission Games) non è un “novellino” di questo tipo di giochi: <strong>Heroes of the Pacific</strong>, pubblicato nel 2003, è un buon gioco di combattimenti aerei (un gioco, non una simulazione). <strong>Heatseeker</strong> è simile, ma il Nintendo Wii lo rende unico.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Heatseeker</strong> è un gioco <em>arcade</em>, ha una meccanica di gioco prevedibile, assenza di un teatro di guerra dinamico, anzi una lineare storia di missioni con obiettivi decolla-scova-distruggi-ritorna-anzi-no-scorta-intercetta-distruggi-ora-puoi-atterrare. Nemmeno l’ombra di avionica, sistemi d’arma , manopole o bottoni virtuali da smanettare, ma comandi semplici come lo sbattere d’ali di una cinciallegra.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Volare è un fatto immediato, quasi naturale: si controlla l’aereo con il Wiimote, il “telecomando del Wii” per intenderci anche con i-non-addetti: incliniamolo un pò verso l’alto e l’aereo salirà di quota, puntiamolo verso il basso e inizierà una picchiata, lentamente spostiamolo a destra o sinistra e l’aereo virerà nella direzione scelta. Una pressione sul grilletto sotto il controller (tasto B) e partirà una salva di missili o una raffica di cannoncino; una pressione sul tasto A, si aggancia il bersaglio. Il Wiimote rende intuitive ogni manovra di base, aggiungendo così un pizzico di coinvolgimeno in più. I piloti più esperti non saranno molto d’accordo con quest’ultima affermazione perchè mancano completamente gli aspetti che rendono più profondo il volo simulato come l’avionica, le modalità radar, un abitacolo 2D/3D interattivo. I principianti, invece, apprezzeranno questa semplificazione di pulsanti e leve.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Volendo fare un paragone con una profonda simulazione di volo, <strong>Heatseeker</strong> è come volare con le compagnie <em>low-cost</em>: niente accessori, unicamente il volo.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Questo tipo di “approccio” si applica anche alla grafica e al comparto audio. Il risultato ottenuto è alquanto imbarazzante anche se girasse sulla precedente console Nintendo, il buon Gamecube. Non esattamente quanto sia lecito aspettarsi da una console di nuova generazione: decente la modellazione degli aerei, un’ eccellente sensazione di velocità, a scapito di un’area di gioco e ambienti piuttosto spogli e di una serialità che denota poca fantasia, poco impegno e una conversione da Playstation 2 piuttosto piatta. Il comparto audio non va oltre degli effetti sononori piuttosto standard e un parlato in italiano davvero<strong>davvero</strong> terrificante.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p><div id="attachment_958" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://redbavon.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/heatseeker-scr.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-958" title="Heatseeker scr" src="http://redbavon.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/heatseeker-scr.jpg?w=300" alt="Spaaaarare oh-oh!" width="300" height="232" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Spaaaarare oh-oh!</p></div>
<p style="text-align:justify;">La banale storia, che se la batte a cretineria e <em>cliché</em> con un filmone del &#8220;calibro&#8221; di &#8220;Iron Eagle &#8211; L&#8217;Aquila d&#8217;Acciaio&#8221;, fa da sfondo (di cartone) alle 18 missioni, ognuna con obiettivi multipli da conseguire, ma è fondamentalmente la solita brodaglia riscaldata: scelto l’aereo più adatto alla missione, sfrecciando da un obiettivo e quello successivo, s’ingaggiano concitati duelli, agganciando ogni possible bersaglio, <em>biiiiiiii</em>, manovrando convulsamente per togliersi dalla coda uno stormo di nemici, <em>chaff chaff</em>, missile in coda, vira stretto, <em>chaff chaff</em>…insomma il tutto è comunque divertente! Una funzione di autosalvataggio a ogni obiettivo intermedio conseguito evita parzialmente la frustrazione di dovere ripetere tutto da capo, come nella peggiore tradizione di questo tipo di giochi. Sebbene la giocabilità sia scontata e il comparto audio-video sia di vecchia generazione, <strong>Heatseeker</strong> semplicemente diverte, grazie a dei controlli che rendono immersiva un’esperienza altrimenti basilare e senza mordente.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Sono possibili due schemi di controllo: <em>arcade</em> e <em>professionale</em>. Lo schema “professionale” è più complesso perchè utilizza una combinazione di nunchuck e Wiimote per ricreare le acrobazie dell&#8217;aereo a schermo. Lo schema <em>arcade</em> utilizza il nunchuck come manetta e il Wiimote per virare, cabrare e esibirsi in tutte le manovre di cui  si è capaci. Lo schema <em>arcade</em> è quello che, alla fine dei conti, risulta più intuitivo.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">L’unico appunto che posso muovere è la scomodità dei (troppi) comandi assegnati alla croce direzionale sul Wiimote: selezionare il corretto comando sulla croce è pressochè impossibile nel pieno dei caotici duelli aerei.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Per spargere terrore nei cieli e a terra, disponiamo di un assortito gruppo di aerei selezionabili all’inizio e che viene arricchito di nuovi modelli e varianti via via che si procede nella campagna. La selezione è quella de “I soliti noti”: F-15, F-16, F-22, F-18, qualche jet sovietico (Mig immancabili) e non poteva mancare qualche bombardiere “invisibile”. Differenti aerei hanno differenti caratteristiche e combinazioni di armi. Volare cambia leggermente secondo l’aereo scelto, ma per capirne la reattività bastano un paio di virate e picchiate. Nulla che aggiunga profondità all’esperienza, ma è benvenuta un pò di varietà.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Leggendo un pò di recensioni su Internet, ritorna un’idea di <strong>Heatseeker </strong>tra il mediocre e il passabile. La mia prima impressione, perciò, era di un gioco da lasciare sullo scaffale. In piena crisi di astinenza da simulazione di volo e complice un&#8217;offerta su Internet a cui &#8221;non puoi dire di no&#8221;, decido di dare a <strong>Heatseeker</strong> una <em>chance</em>. Di seguito, il mio consiglio spassionato: se siete giocatori che avete bisogno di “smascellarvi” davanti alle meraviglie dell’ultimo motore grafico, lasciate perdere<strong> Heatseeker</strong>. Se invece siete interessati a sperimentare un vero senso di meraviglia per qualcosa di inaspettato, dovete assolutamente caricare <strong>Heatseeker</strong> e sarete stupiti come <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">su Wii</span></strong> un gioco di vecchia generazione possa aggiungere un “gusto” davvero differente a un’esperienza molto ben nota. E’ come mangiare la solita minestra della mamma, ma questa volta la mamma ha aggiunto una spezia che fa la differenza, una seppur piccola differenza che rende la “solita” minestra più saporita del solito (ogni riferimento a <strong>Cooking Mama</strong> è puramente casuale). Questa è la magia del Wii.</p>
<p>More than this&#8230;in <a href="../videogioco/" target="_blank"><strong>VideO&#8217;gioco</strong></a>, <em>quant&#8217;è bello spira tanto sentimento</em></p>

<p>At the weekend, I found myself in Birmingham at the <a href="http://www.thecomicsshow.co.uk/" target="_blank">British International Comics Show</a> (BICS), despite being completely ambivalent to comics while I was growing up. But a friend of mine was keen to go, and I decided to tag along, thinking that being a visual person there must be something of value for me in attending the show. In the end, I struck gold in the most unlikely of sources.</p>
<p><!--more-->Flicking though an old &#8216;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punisher" target="_blank">The Punisher</a>&#8216; comic, I came across a vintage <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NES" target="_blank">NES</a> advert. I leafed through comics of the same period and before I knew it, I&#8217;d come away from the convention with 26 of them under my arm, for the combined princely sum of £7. Within their pages, I gathered together a number of vintage advertisements spanning at least half a decade of the 80&#8217;s.</p>
<p>One common theme running through them all is the sheer amount of text involved in each execution, compared to our very image-led advertising industry of today. This can be viewed one of two ways &#8211; either advertisers of the time weren&#8217;t convinced that the images were enough to sell what was, essentially, a very young videogames industry; or we&#8217;re just very lazy consumers of media in today&#8217;s age. You decide.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/43131325@N05/sets/72157622531180034/" target="_blank">full set</a> can be found over at the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/43131325@N05/" target="_blank">Infinite Continues Flickr page</a>.</p>

<p>Formula 1 racing came full circle on the video game circuit when Namco&#8217;s Pole Position was released in arcades around 1982. Pole Position&#8217;s rear-view racing format pretty much cemented what the visual perspective is in any racing game you play these days. <!--more--></p>
<p>In the cockpit of a F1 race car, drivers must complete a time trail lap to qualify for a race at the Fuji Racetrack. After qualifying, gamers are put up against other strong racers in search of championship gold. Sounds linear and simple, and that&#8217;s because in some part it actually is. We&#8217;re not dealing with the complex gameplay of Gran Turismo, its Pole Position; put your feet on the clutch, break when necessary and beat the clock to qualify. That&#8217;s pretty much it, and its great.</p>
<p><img src="http://evolveent.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/pole-position-1.png" alt="pole-position-1" title="pole-position-1" width="450" height="394" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4006" /></p>
<p>Namco set the trend for 3D racing on the arcade circuit. Resurrected in numerous compilation packages on next-gen consoles, Pole Position justifies how classics never go out of style.</p>

<div class="mceTemp" style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#888888;">___________________________________________________________________________</span></div>
<div class="mceTemp" style="text-align:justify;">Having been directly involved in the &#8216;home-style&#8217; video game business as a store owner, retailer,  repair technician (console repair as well as cartridge and disc repair), video amusement center operator, and show dealer since 1982 (as well as a hobbyist since 1975), I thought it just might be fun to give today&#8217;s younger &#8220;video game junkie&#8221; a visual tour back through time showing how the home video game console market evolved over the years.</div>
<div class="mceTemp" style="text-align:justify;"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3392" title="Nintendo-consoles-stack" src="http://coolrain44.wordpress.com/files/2009/06/nintendo-consoles-stack.png?w=170" alt="Nintendo-consoles-stack" width="170" height="300" /></div>
<div class="mceTemp" style="text-align:justify;"></div>
<div class="mceTemp" style="text-align:justify;">When we had our retail store open, from 1985 through 2006, we also had a few other cool features that included a &#8216;Video Bar&#8217; and &#8216;Play Center&#8217; open for families, kids, teens and adults to enjoy competitive as well as  non-competitive gaming with about a dozen and a half &#8216;video stations&#8217; set up with several different systems to play. Everything was &#8216;automated&#8217; (by use of pre-programmed wall timers) and were able to accommodate up to 36 players simultaneously. On Fridays and Saturdays we featured All-You-Can-Play Nights from 6pm til midnight that attracted a loyal following. We also hosted private birthday parties and organized group events for the local community. Another attraction we had included a &#8220;mini-museum&#8221; setup with a majority of the game consoles (pictured below) on display in lighted showcases for our customers, guests and visitors to see up-close with a brief description of each unit.</div>
<div class="mceTemp" style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#888888;">___________________________________________________________________________</span></div>
<div class="mceTemp" style="text-align:justify;">There will be more information added to this post over the next few weeks as well as a few links to few of the better websites that go more in-depth.  Additionally, there will be another post added in the near future featuring the various handheld systems over the years.</div>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>C&#8221;ya soon &#8212; Please keep checking back&#8230;</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Have fun and enjoy the tour <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<description><![CDATA[Si buen durante la época del lanzamiento de la Atari 2600 en el 77, ésta fue una de las predominante]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p align="justify">Si buen durante la época del lanzamiento de la Atari 2600 en el 77, ésta fue una de las predominantes, hubo más consolas que salieron al mercado a competir por el creciente mercado del jueguito electrónico. En los fines de la década del 70 y principio de los 80 hubo otras consolas que salieron al mercado, dando lugar a la llamada 2º era de las consolas y comenzando la primera gran guerra de consolas.</p>
<p align="justify">Una de ellas fue la sucesora de la primera consola de videojuegos, la Magnavox Odyssey, que se llamó… <strong><em>Magnavox Odyssey 2</em></strong>. La sucesora de la primera de las consolas fue lanzada en 1978 y en Europa se la conoció como la <b>Philips Videopac G7000</b>, en Brasil como la <b>Philips Odyssey</b> y en los Estados Unidos también como la <b>Philips Odyssey 2</b>, esto se debía a que Magnavox era parte de la empresa Philips y se encargaba de comercializarla en todo el mundo. La novedad de esta consola fue que también usó un sistema de cartuchos, que se convertiría en el estándar de las consolas durante mucho tiempo.</p>
<p align="justify">Otra de las consolas importantes en esta época fue la <strong>Intellivision</strong>, creada por la empresa Mattel (la empresa de <em>Barbie, </em>sí) quien realmente le supuso una competencia a la reina de las consolas, la Atari 2600. Intellivision fue lanzada al mercado en 1979. Las capacidades superiores de esta consola, la primera de 16-bits, pusieron a Atari en un serio aprieto, ya que muchos anuncios demostraban las diferencias de capacidad de cada consola que dejaron muy mal parada a Atari. Así, <strong>Intellivision</strong> se convirtió en una consola muy popular para la que se lanzaron casi 200 juegos en cartucho.</p>
<p align="justify">También otra consola que marcó un hito en la segunda generación fue la <strong>ColecoVision </strong>(1982), que fue muy popular también, no sólo porque podía correr juegos de la Atari 2600, si por sus sorprendentes capacidades para reproducir fielmente los juegos originales de los arcades, siendo el más popular el famoso <strong><em>Donkey Kong</em></strong>.</p>
<p align="justify">Y como respuesta de Atari a las consolas de Mattel y Coleco, la compañía lanzó en 1982 la sucesora de la famosísima Atari 2600, la <strong>Atari 5200. </strong>Sin embargo no tuvo el éxito esperado que había tenido la 2600 y esto se debió a que no había retrocompatibilidad (aunque luego lanzó un adaptador en el 83 para poder jugar a los juegos de la 2600), y que Atari no le dio la atención ni los recursos necesarios. Esto se debía a que la empresa seguía poniendo sus esfuerzos en la vieja 2600 que saturaba el mercado en ese entonces.</p>
<p align="justify">Otras consolas que surgieron en la época fueron la <strong>Sega SG-1000</strong>, en Japón en 1983, que significó el ingreso de esta compañía al mercado de las consolas de videojuegos. También la <strong>Bally Astrocade</strong>, una consola de la sub división <strong>Midway </strong>de la empresa <strong>Bally </strong>que se dedicaba a hacer Pinballs, o la <strong>Arcadia 2001 </strong>desarrollada por la empresa <strong>Radio Emerson Corp.</strong></p>
<p align="justify">Sin embargo, como se puede notar, la industria de los videojuegos estaba en constante crecimiento y nuevos, juegos y consolas salían al mercado desmedidamente. Este crecimiento no se correspondía con la calidad de algunos juegos, como una versión del <strong>Pac-Man </strong>lanzada para la Atari 2600 que dejaba mucho que desear, aunque este no fue el único fracaso. En 1982, salió al mercado para esta misma consola el juego <strong>E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial</strong>, basado en la famosa película. Sin embargo el juego fue un fiasco total y un total desastre en ventas. Atari había calculado una cantidad de ventas que no se correspondió con la realidad y se quedó con millones de cartuchos en su poder que no pudo vender. Existe un mito urbano que dice que los cartuchos fueron destruidos y arrojados a un basurero en Nuevo México.</p>
<p align="justify">En 1979 surge <strong>Activision, </strong>fundada por ex programadores de Atari que renunciaron porque la compañía se negaba a reconocerlos como desarrolladores en los juegos y tampoco quería pagar comisiones por las ventas de los cartuchos. Entonces se convirtieron en la primera empresa desarrolladora de juegos <em>third-party</em>. Atari demandó a la nueva Activision pero perdió, sentando un precedente y haciendo entonces que muchas compañías nuevas ingresaran al mercado para desarrollar juegos. Sin embargo, estas nuevas compañías no eran tan buenas y los juegos eran de pésima calidad. Además las empresas perdieron la exclusividad de algunos juegos, creando una sobreoferta en el mercado.</p>
<p align="justify">Enseguida los precios bajaron drásticamente y las jugueterías y tiendas estaban saturadas de juegos, consolas, entre otras cosas. Los dueños de los negocios empezaron a devolver a las compañías los artículos no vendidos y con el tiempo dejaron de vender videojuegos, ya que no daban rédito. Esta fue llamada <strong>la gran crisis de los videojuegos norteamericana, </strong>que causó el colapso de muchas empresas dedicadas a los videojuegos.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><h1 style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://sopradoresdecartucho.wordpress.com/2009/08/16/meu-primeiro-jogo/" target="_self"><img class="aligncenter" title="nostalgia" src="http://i948.photobucket.com/albums/ad325/timeage/nostalgia.png" alt="" width="460" height="110" /></a></h1>
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;">Olá, eu sou Timeage e antes de começar o post eu gostaria de agradecer a todos os comentários, ao freqüentadores do blog <a href="http://memoriasdehokage.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Memórias de Hokage</a> pela força e a todos os envolvidos neste projeto, Alan Flammer, Jony X, Duzitozz. Dentre os administradores desse blog eu com certeza sou o mais distraído por isso se caso eu passar alguma informação errada ou simplesmente errar de maneira feia com o português podem me corrigir que eu não ligo, afinal quando um ajuda o outro todos ficam bem é isso que eu quero.<!--more--></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Agora começando com o assunto do post,“Meu primeiro jogo”, por que esse titulo? logicamente por que não existe nada mais nostálgico do que aquele primeiro jogo apresentado por um pai, mãe, irmão, primo, amigo ou qualquer pessoa próxima de nós, pois, provavelmente foi esse jogo que fez qualquer um de nós dar o primeiro passo para esse mundo e continuar jogando a infinidade de jogos existentes até hoje.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Minha  principal intenção com esse post, mais do que falar detalhadamente sobre um jogo (coisa que não vou fazer) é trazer a vocês a vontade ou a curiosidade de buscarem no fundo de suas memórias o primeiro movimento que fez com que vocês gostassem desse universo que é o universo dos jogos.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">No meu caso o meu primeiro meu primeiro passo, o meu primeiro movimento foi o jogo foi Burguer Time, talvez alguns de vocês conheçam, pois, existem diversas versões dele feitas para serem jogadas no PC, usando emuladores ou o próprio flash player. Por mais incrível que pareça o Burguer Time foi distribuído pela Bally Midway, qualquer ligação com a Midway empresa de Mortal Kombat não é uma simples coincidência, afinal a Bally Midway foi um dos departamentos da Midway.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://i948.photobucket.com/albums/ad325/timeage/BurgerTime_arcadeflyer.png"><img title="Burguer Time" src="http://i948.photobucket.com/albums/ad325/timeage/BurgerTime_arcadeflyer.png" alt="Burguer Time - capa 01" width="300" height="389" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Burguer Time - capa 01</p></div>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 309px"><a href="http://i948.photobucket.com/albums/ad325/timeage/BurgerTime.jpg"><img title="Burguer Time" src="http://i948.photobucket.com/albums/ad325/timeage/BurgerTime.jpg" alt="Burguer Time - capa 02" width="299" height="409" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Burguer Time - capa 02</p></div>
<p style="text-align:justify;">O jogo é um puzzle onde você controla um cozinheiro que deve passar em cima das plataformas para que elas caiam nos ingredientes e façam um hamburguer, ou seja, é simples e também viciante como todo puzzle. Foi com esse jogo a única vez que realmente me senti feliz fazendo hambúrgueres, falo isso por quê eu já trabalhei em lanchonete fast food e acreditem é bom no começo, mas com o tempo só se a pessoa realmente gostar desse tipo de trabalho.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Continuando com o Burguer Time, eu joguei ele quando tinha 5 ou 6 anos + ou – em 1990, época que eu havia ganhado um vídeo game da madrinha da minha irmã que graças a pesquisas feitas para esse post descobri o nome do bedito, Intellivision I, para vocês terem uma idéia o controle era um teclado numérico, mais estranho que isso só se eles inventarem um controle com o formato do yoshi, XD.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 348px"><a href="http://i948.photobucket.com/albums/ad325/timeage/BurgertimeInPlay.png"><img title="Burguer Time" src="http://i948.photobucket.com/albums/ad325/timeage/BurgertimeInPlay.png" alt="Burguer Time - tela de jogo" width="338" height="338" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Burguer Time - tela de jogo</p></div>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 346px"><a href="http://i948.photobucket.com/albums/ad325/timeage/800px-Intellivision1.jpg"><img class="  " title="Intelivision" src="http://i948.photobucket.com/albums/ad325/timeage/800px-Intellivision1.jpg" alt="Intelivision - console estranho" width="336" height="247" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Intelivision - console estranho</p></div>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Por mais tosco que o jogo pareça, levando em conta os jogos de hoje, me lembro claramente que até eu ter meu Super Nes e conhecer Mario Kart ele era o jogo mais divertido que joguei. Infelismente minha memória  não ajuda muito, mas eu recomendo a todos que lerem esse post jogarem um pouco para ver se vocês acham divertido, pois, eu antes de escrever o post joguei um pouco me diverti mais do que imaginava justamente pela nostalgia que ele me passa, mas hoje o meu estilo é outro, como era bom a época em que tudo sem exceção era divertido.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Para finalizar eu deixo uma pergunta para quem quiser responder nos comentários:</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Qual foi o seu primeiro jogo? conte sua história se você quiser.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">E não só nesse mas em todo post meu eu vou deixar uma sugestão de jogo + um vídeo para vocês verem como é, um livro ou revista/manga e uma sugestão de filme ou produções audiovisuais curta + link para vocês verem o trailer ou o curta.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Novamente agradeço a todos.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Sugestão 1 -  o jogo: para os nostálgicos de plantão Burguer Time.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/6ohIl-c8Gm8&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/6ohIl-c8Gm8&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/U0_Wn0i_YkY&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/U0_Wn0i_YkY&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Sugestão 2 &#8211; o manga: Yakitate!! Japan é traduzido atualmente para o português pelo fansub <a href="http://chrono.com.br/" target="_blank">Chrono</a>, acompanho o desenho e estou começando a ler o manga, que como sempre é bem melhor que o desenho XD, ambos são muito engraçados, mas assim como o jogo mencionado no post e sugerido anteriormente tudo gira em volta de comida, sendo mais especifico pães.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">Sugestão 3 &#8211; audivisual: eu escolhi 3 videos interessantes que tem muito mais relação com a idéia de nostalgia e o pensamento do gamer.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">o primeiro é um video de um jogo que lembra muito o Burguer Time, só que o diferencial desse video é que existem pessoas atuando no lugar das imagens do game, o jogo é o Pac-Man e o video é Pac-Man the movie</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/hZWYwYqbfuM&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/hZWYwYqbfuM&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">o segundo é o trailer de Coraline que mostra bem o pensamento sem limites de quando nós somos crianças.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/Js7wxoqeVK0&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/Js7wxoqeVK0&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">e o terceiro e ultimo um video de um filme que tem o nivel de nostalgia maior do que o Burguer Time, pena que eu nunca joguei o jogo que com certeza deve existir, o filme é Goonies, não é possível que só eu sinta nostalgia com esse filme, vejo vocês em outro post.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/wgTQJ-HqBLs&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/wgTQJ-HqBLs&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Video Extra: do jogo do goonies, dica do Duzitozz.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/KR_ByTmO2X8&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/KR_ByTmO2X8&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Quem é que não lembra do Atari, ou os mais &#8220;adultos&#8221;, do Intelivision ou PC400? É, já se passaram mais de 30 anos desde o lançamento dos primeiros videogames, que pelo visto não foram suficientes para que os fabricantes parassem de cometer erros grotescos. Reportagem sugerida por Jean, e retirada de um site gringo. Veja abaixo que interessante, e aproveite para matar a sede de nostalgia.</p>
<p>Outro aspecto interessante desta reportagem, é que através dos erros dos fabricantes, você consegue identificar as razoes do marketshare de cada uma das empresas atualmente. O declínio da Sega, o declínio da Nintendo, o surgimento da Sony, dentre outros. Espero que gostem</p>
<p>1977 &#8211; RCA Studio II</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1962" title="Blog 1977 Studio II" src="http://showmetech.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/blog-1977-studio-ii.jpg" alt="Blog 1977 Studio II" width="450" height="295" /></p>
<p>Problema 1. Cade o Joystick???? É ali mesmo, no computador, ou seja, ARGHHH. Alguem tem alguma dúvida do porque após criado, o controle se chama JOY &#8211; STICK? rsssss</p>
<p>Problema 2. A Energia vem pelo cabo RF da TV (vc lembra disso???)</p>
<p>1979 &#8211; Intellivision (Eu tive um desses!!!!!)</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1966" title="Blog Intelivision" src="http://showmetech.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/blog-intelivision.jpg" alt="Blog Intelivision" width="450" height="296" /></p>
<p>Problema 1. Controle que parece um telefone e não um controle</p>
<p>Continue lendo este post!</p>
<p>Basta clicar no link abaixo</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>1982 &#8211; Atari 5200</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1964" title="Blog Atari 5200" src="http://showmetech.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/blog-atari-5200.jpg" alt="Blog Atari 5200" width="450" height="306" /></p>
<p>Problema 1. Controle que quebrava mutio facilmente, e botões que desbotavam</p>
<p>Problema 2. Energia pelo Cabo RF. Veja você mesmo: um erro repetido 3 anos depois por outro fabricante.</p>
<p>1984 &#8211; Atari 7800</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1965" title="Blog Atari 7800" src="http://showmetech.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/blog-atari-7800.jpg" alt="Blog Atari 7800" width="450" height="336" />Problema 1. Chip de Som usado era do Atari 2600, de 1974! Ninguém entendeu o downgrade.</p>
<p>1985 &#8211; Nintendo (NES)</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1967" title="Blog NES" src="http://showmetech.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/blog-nes.jpg" alt="Blog NES" width="450" height="276" /></p>
<p>Problema 1. Qualquer toquinho no console, adeus jogo, qualquer toquinho no jogo, adeus jogo. Enfim, era extremamente instável e reiniciava por qualquer motivo.</p>
<p>1993 &#8211; Atari Jaguar</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1968" title="Blog Atari Jagar" src="http://showmetech.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/blog-atari-jagar.jpg" alt="Blog Atari Jagar" width="469" height="337" /></p>
<p>Problema 1. O Controle, mais uma vez ele. Apesar do design interessante, possuia poucos botoes. Após um tempo, lançaram um controle denominado PRO, mas veio tarde demais.</p>
<p>1994 &#8211; Sega Saturn</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1969" title="Blog Sega Saturn" src="http://showmetech.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/blog-sega-saturn.jpg" alt="Blog Sega Saturn" width="450" height="341" /></p>
<p>Problema 1. O sistema operacional possuia dois chips e 5 processadores, o que tornava o desenvolvimento de games muito complexo. Resultado: a Sega perdeu muito mercado, dando lugar ao novato Playstation da Sony que dominou o mercado pelo restante da era de 32 bits</p>
<p>1995 &#8211; Nintendo Virtual Boy</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1970" title="Blog Nintendo Virtual Boy" src="http://showmetech.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/blog-nintendo-virtual-boy.jpg" alt="Blog Nintendo Virtual Boy" width="450" height="329" /></p>
<p>Problema 1. Parece um brinquedo daqueles dos anos 60, tipo aquela mão de ferro que possuia chave de fenda, dentre outras ferramentes quase inúteis no dia a dia.</p>
<p>Problema 2. Parece um alienígena do Matrix, aqueles que andavam nos campos de humanos, nos cultivando.</p>
<p>Problema 3. A tela era monocromática vermelha e não, não estávamos em 1960. O ano do lançamento foi 1995.</p>
<p>1996 &#8211; Nintendo 64</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1971" title="Blog Nintendo 64" src="http://showmetech.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/blog-nintendo-64.jpg" alt="Blog Nintendo 64" width="441" height="298" /></p>
<p>Problema 1. Os cartuchos RAM. Ao invés de usar CDs, muito mais baratos de se fabricar, a nintendo usava cartuchos caros de se produzir. Resumo, caso um jogo nao fizesse sucesso, a produtora do game ficava com um estoque absurdo de um produto caro. Resultado, o declínio de 10 anos da nintendo, que deixou de possuir parceiros. Estes parceiros, obviamente migraram para o Playstation, iniciando o domínio da Sony e Microsoft na era dos videogames.</p>
<p>2001 &#8211; Nintendo Gameboy Advanced</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1972" title="Blog Game Boy Advanced" src="http://showmetech.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/blog-game-boy-advanced.jpg" alt="Blog Game Boy Advanced" width="450" height="300" /></p>
<p>Problema 1. Tela de Cristal Líquido escura demais, o que dificultava os jogos e consumia energia.</p>
<p>2001 &#8211; XBox</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1973" title="Blog XBOX" src="http://showmetech.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/blog-xbox.jpg" alt="Blog XBOX" width="350" height="353" /></p>
<p>Problema 1. O controle lançado com ele originalmente nos EUA era simplesmente GIGANTESCO com mil e um botoes e difícil de segurar. Meu Deus do céu, os fabricantes CONTINUAM cometendo erros no Joystick??</p>
<p>2003 &#8211; Nintendo GameBoy Advanced SP</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1974" title="Blog GameBoy Advanced SP" src="http://showmetech.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/blog-gameboy-advanced-sp.jpg" alt="Blog GameBoy Advanced SP" width="450" height="384" /></p>
<p>Problema 1. Não possuia entrada para fones de ouvido. Meus Deus, é pra ser portátil ou nao? Caso você quizesse usar fones, deveria comprar um adaptador e conectar na entrada de enrgia. Ou seja, se vc usa fones, não pode conectar na tomada.</p>

<p>I don’t know what’s worse, imagining someone making this game or imagining someone buying this game!  Either way, “John Madden” and “strip poker” are two things that really should never go together.  Madden has had a Hall of Fame career coaching the Oakland Raiders, followed by an iconic sports casting presence, and of course <strong>his infamous video game branding</strong>.  Luckily, the game pictured above comes from a <a href="http://www.buzzfeed.com/expresident/rejected-video-game-ideas" target="_blank">rejected video spoof</a>.  The real Madden NFL series is not only a best seller; it is a reality TV show where participants play in Madden video game championships.  I’ve watched that show on the edge of my seat!  No really, I’m just kidding but it was interesting to watch.  Those guys were SERIOUS about that video game.  It was just like when I used to play Duck Hunt.</p>
<p>I got a number of best gift stories that were about someone’s first video game system.  Here are some of the ones mentioned.  <strong>Don&#8217;t throw these away if you find them in your parent&#8217;s attic!</strong>  They can be worth something to collectors (depending on the condition).  You&#8217;re the quarterback; I&#8217;m just here to protect you.  Now enjoy the walk down memory lane.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#0000ff;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Clarss</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#0000ff;">El otro día me encontré la consola de Intellivision de mi hermano y me acordé de las horas que pasaba en frente de la tele con algunos juegos. El hecho de haber tenido hermanos grandes hizo que empezara a jugar desde muy chica .  Aunque creo que la mayoría de los que lean este post les pasó lo mismo y seguro todos sabían el código para entrar a los juegos de QBasic o cómo hacer las 1000 vidas en Mario Bros del NES, pienso que es padre recordar algunos de los juegos que teníamos cuando eramos niños.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#0000ff;"> Aquí les dejo los que yo más jugaba. Me encantaría que me comentaran cuáles eran los que ustedes más jugaban, a lo mejor así me acuerdo de otros.<br />
</span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Now, I tried to find a good reply to your intelligent design post, Shanoah. But most of what I found seemed to take itself much too seriously for this forum. Plus they contained all kinds of unacceptable things like accurate and reliable information. And we can&#8217;t have that.</p>
<p>So intelligent design is out. But Intelli<em>vision</em> is in.</p>

<p>And if you&#8217;re under 30 years old and wondering just what the hell this is all about, here&#8217;s one of a series of commercials that Mattel ran comparing the Intellivision to their main rival, the Atari 2600. The white-haired guy is George Plimpton, and the commercial is for <em>Star Strike, </em>which I thought was the shizznit once upon a time. And it was.</p>

<p>Dig Dug is a master of digging and pumping air, on a mission to to rid the underground of monsters.  Our hero accomplishes this task by piercing the monsters with his airhose and then <em>INFLATING</em> them until their flesh is ripped from their very bones.  As vicious as that sounds, the monsters can occasionally shed their corporeal selves, transforming into soil-defying ghosts.  The music provides an interesting twist, as it only plays while Dig Dug is moving.  The Game Boy version is worthy of special mention, featuring a <em>New Dig Dug</em> bonus game containing puzzle elements and even boss fights. </p>

ColecoVision (1982, Coleco)</p>
<p><em>Ladybug</em> is clearly derivative of <em>Pac-Man</em>, yet it introduces enough concepts to warrant playing time.  Like Pac-Man before her, Ladybug navigates through a maze eating X&#8217;s, a wild departure from <em>Pac-Man</em>&#8217;s dots.  Ladybug&#8217;s enemies, a group of evil insects, do not pursue her immediately.  Instead, a timer surrounding the maze slowly ticks down, warning Ladybug that her enemies will soon be turned loose.  There are no power pellets or weapons but there <em>are</em> horrifying skeletons distributed throughout the maze.  Ladybug must trick her enemies into consuming the skeletons, the only way the villains can be defeated.  <em>Ladybug</em>&#8217;s best twist comes courtesy of gates, which can be used to change the maze and close off certain sections.  This strategy aids Ladybug in avoiding her enemies, allowing her to concentrate on eating her beloved X&#8217;s.</p>
