The Atari VCS was affordable and offered the flexibility of changeable cartridges. Nearly a thousand of these were created, the most significant of which established new techniques, mechanics, and even entire genres. This book offers a detailed and accessible study of this influential video game console from both computational and cultural perspectives. Studies of digital media have rarely investigated platforms--the systems underlying computing. This book (the first in a series of Platform Studies) does so, developing a critical approach that examines the relationship between platforms and creative expression. Nick Montfort and Ian Bogost discuss the Atari VCS itself and examine in detail six game cartridges: Combat, Adventure, Pac-Man, Yars' Revenge, Pitfall!, and Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. They describe the technical constraints and affordances of the system and track developments in programming, gameplay, interface, and aesthetics. Adventure, for example, was the first game to represent a virtual space larger than the screen (anticipating the boundless virtual spaces of such later games as World of Warcraft and Grand Theft Auto), by allowing the player to walk off one side into another space; and Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back was an early instance of interaction between media properties and video games. Montfort and Bogost show that the Atari VCS--often considered merely a retro fetish object--is an essential part of the history of video games.Platform studies.Computer gamesProgrammingVideo gamesEquipment and suppliesAtari 2600 (Video game console)Video gamesUnited StatesHistoryGAME STUDIES/GeneralDIGITAL HUMANITIES & NEW MEDIA/GeneralSOCIAL SCIENCES/Media StudiesComputer gamesProgramming.Video gamesEquipment and supplies.Atari 2600 (Video game console)Video gamesHistory.794.8Montfort Nick625122Bogost Ian625118OCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910782856503321Racing the beam3763222UNINA01106nam0 22002651i 450 UON0020619220231205103314.82620030730d1978 |0itac50 baspaVE|||| |||||ˆLos ‰rios profundosJose Maria Arguedasprologos Mario Vargas LlosacronoE.
