Independent Publisher Magazine.It was a time when technology was king, status was determined by your high score, and videogames were blitzing the world...From Pong to Pac-Man, Asteroids to Zaxxon—more than fifty million people around the world have come of age within the electronic flux of videogames, their subconscious forever etched with images projected from arcade and home videogame systems.From the first interactive blips of electronic light at Brookhaven National Labs and the creation of Spacewar! at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology; to the invention of the TV Game Project and the myriad systems of Magnavox, Atari, Coleco, and Mattel that followed; through the rise of the Golden Age of videogames and forward into the imagination of millions, Supercade is the first book to illustrate and document the history, legacy, and visual language of the videogame phenomenon.Exuberantly written and illustrated in full color, Supercade pays tribute to the technology, games, and visionaries of one of the most influential periods in the history of computer science—one that profoundly shaped the modern technological landscape and helped change the way people view entertainment.Supercade includes contributions from such commentators and particpants as Ralph Baer, Julian Dibbell, Keith Feinstein, Joe Fielder, Lauren Fielder, Justin Hall, Leonard Herman, Steven

to the cultural and historical mapping of electronic gaming. Its basic premise is at least seemingly simple: electronic games did not appear out of nowhere; they have a cultural background that needs to be excavated. The existing literature on the history of videogames has done little towards achieving this goal. In fact, the (hi)story is usually told in a remarkably uniform fashion, built around the same landmarks, breakthroughs and founding fathers (not a word about mothers!). In this article I will excavate some cultural and historical issues relevant for a critical assessment of the emergence of games as an interactive medium. The main emphasis will be the background of electronic games as a manifestation of the human-machine relationship. Although I am fully aware of the complexity of electronic games as a cultural hybrid, I have chosen not to deal with certain of their historical \"ingredients\", like motives from earlier forms of gaming and play and the oral and literary traditions of storytelling. In the final section I will reflect on the significance of these \"media archaeological\" findings for contemporary media culture and electronic gaming in particular, pointing out connecting links across the fabric of the 20th century culture.", "bookTitle": "Handbook of Computer Game Studies", "series": "", "seriesNumber": "", "volume": "", "numberOfVolumes": "", "edition": "", "date": "2005", "publisher": "The MIT Press", "place": "Cambridge, MA", "originalDate": "", "originalPublisher": "", "originalPlace": "", "format": "", "pages": "1-21", "ISBN": "", "DOI": "", "citationKey": "", "url": "", "accessDate": "", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "", "language": "", "libraryCatalog": "", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [ { "tag": "Arcades " }, { "tag": "Media Archaelogy" } ], "collections": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2012-07-10T17:27:23Z", "dateModified": "2012-07-10T17:27:55Z" } }, { "key": "NSPMRUPW", "version": 2, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 77132, "name": "Games Studies", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/games_studies", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/77132/items/NSPMRUPW", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/games_studies/items/NSPMRUPW", "type": "text/html" }, "up": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/77132/items/SJQRZ5MR", "type": "application/json" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 1009621, "username": "rhilu", "name": "", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/rhilu", "type": "text/html" } } } }, "data": { "key": "NSPMRUPW", "version": 2, "parentItem": "SJQRZ5MR", "itemType": "attachment", "linkMode": "imported_url", "title": "IEEE Xplore Abstract Record", "accessDate": "2012-07-09T23:12:59Z", "url": "http://ieeexplore.ieee.org.turing.library.northwestern.edu/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=5223982", "note": "", "contentType": "text/html", "charset": "utf-8", "filename": "stamp.html", "md5": "b8c22ee7ac1564f77fbb4e6d6a12f10a", "mtime": 1341875579000, "tags": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2012-07-09T23:12:59Z", "dateModified": "2012-07-09T23:12:59Z" } }, { "key": "SJQRZ5MR", "version": 1, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 77132, "name": "Games Studies", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/games_studies", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/77132/items/SJQRZ5MR", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/games_studies/items/SJQRZ5MR", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 1009621, "username": "rhilu", "name": "", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/rhilu", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Lowood", "parsedDate": "2009-09", "numChildren": 1 }, "data": { "key": "SJQRZ5MR", "version": 1, "itemType": "journalArticle", "title": "Videogames in Computer Space: The Complex History of Pong", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "H.", "lastName": "Lowood" } ], "abstractNote": "The earliest digital games emerged out of laboratories and research centers in the 1960s and 1970s.

Today, video games have become a limitless and multifaceted medium through which major corporations and Hollywood visionaries alike are reaching broader global audiences and influencing cultural trends at a rate unmatched by any other media.This book traces the growth of a global phenomenon that has become an integral part of popular culture today. All aspects of video games and gaming culture are covered inside this engaging reference work, including the leading video game innovators, the technological advances that made the games of the late 1970s and those of today possible, the corporations that won and lost billions of dollars pursing this lucrative market, arcade culture, and the demise of free-standing video consoles and the rise of home-based and handheld gaming devices. Narrative chapters explore the ongoing debates about whether video games lead to violence in children and teens (as was the case with the Columbine High School shootings) in addition to other topics, such as the evolution of the new games, and the battle between Sony's PlayStation 3, Nintendo's Wii, and Microsoft's Xbox 360.", "series": "", "seriesNumber": "", "volume": "", "numberOfVolumes": "", "edition": "", "date": "2008", "publisher": "ABC-CLIO", "place": "", "originalDate": "", "originalPublisher": "", "originalPlace": "", "format": "", "numPages": "401", "ISBN": "978-0-313-33868-7", "DOI": "", "citationKey": "", "url": "", "accessDate": "", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "The Video Game Explosion", "language": "en", "libraryCatalog": "Google Books", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [ { "tag": "Games / Video & Electronic", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Social Science / Popular Culture", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Video games", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Video games - History", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Video games - Social aspects", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Video games/ History", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Video games/ Social aspects", "type": 1 } ], "collections": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2012-07-09T23:09:09Z", "dateModified": "2012-07-09T23:09:09Z" } }, { "key": "VM6W2VDA", "version": 1, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 77132, "name": "Games Studies", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/games_studies", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/77132/items/VM6W2VDA", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/games_studies/items/VM6W2VDA", "type": "text/html" }, "up": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/77132/items/CDKNJJZK", "type": "application/json" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 1009621, "username": "rhilu", "name": "", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/rhilu", "type": "text/html" } } } }, "data": { "key": "VM6W2VDA", "version": 1, "parentItem": "CDKNJJZK", "itemType": "attachment", "linkMode": "linked_url", "title": "Google Books Link", "accessDate": "2012-07-09T23:09:09Z", "url": "http://books.google.com/books?id=XiM0ntMybNwC", "note": "", "contentType": "text/html", "charset": "", "tags": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2012-07-09T23:09:09Z", "dateModified": "2012-07-09T23:09:09Z" } }, { "key": "VM45RTHR", "version": 151, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 77132, "name": "Games Studies", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/games_studies", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/77132/items/VM45RTHR", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/games_studies/items/VM45RTHR", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 1009621, "username": "rhilu", "name": "", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/rhilu", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Wolf", "parsedDate": "2012-03-01", "numChildren": 1 }, "data": { "key": "VM45RTHR", "version": 151, "itemType": "book", "title": "Before the Crash: Early Video Game History", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Mark J.

Mixing phone calls, faxes, instant messaging, real and ‘fake ’ websites, and email, the game provides a fascinating case of an attempt at new directions for gaming communities. Through story, mode of playing, and use of technology, Majestic highlights the uncertain status of knowledge, community and self in a digital age; at the same time, it allows examination of alternative ways of understanding games ’ role and purpose in the larger culture.

He takes us into the secret world of Survivor Spoilers, where avid internet users pool their knowledge to unearth the show's secrets before they are revealed on the air. He introduces us to young Harry Potter fans who are writing their own Hogwarts tales while executives at Warner Brothers struggle for control of their franchise. He shows us how The Matrix has pushed transmedia storytelling to new levels, creating a fictional world where consumers track down bits of the story across multiple media channels.Jenkins argues that struggles over convergence will redefine the face of American popular culture. Industry leaders see opportunities to direct content across many channels to increase revenue and broaden markets. At the same time, consumers envision a liberated public sphere, free of network controls, in a decentralized media environment. Sometimes corporate and grassroots efforts reinforce each other, creating closer, more rewarding relations between media producers and consumers. Sometimes these two forces are at war.Jenkins provides a riveting introduction to the world where every story gets told and every brand gets sold across multiple media platforms. He explains the cultural shift that is occurring as consumers fight for control across disparate channels, changing the way we do business, elect our leaders, and educate our children.", "series": "", "seriesNumber": "", "volume": "", "numberOfVolumes": "", "edition": "", "date": "2006-08-01", "publisher": "NYU Press", "place": "", "originalDate": "", "originalPublisher": "", "originalPlace": "", "format": "", "numPages": "321", "ISBN": "978-0-8147-4281-5", "DOI": "", "citationKey": "", "url": "", "accessDate": "", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "Convergence Culture", "language": "en", "libraryCatalog": "Google Books", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [ { "tag": "Electronic books", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Language Arts & Disciplines / Journalism", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Mass media and culture", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Mass media and culture - United States", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Mass media and culture/ United States", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Mathematics / Functional Analysis", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Popular culture", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Popular culture - United States", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Popular culture/ United States", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Social Science / Media Studies", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Social Science / Popular Culture", "type": 1 } ], "collections": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2012-06-02T21:29:32Z", "dateModified": "2012-06-02T21:29:32Z" } }, { "key": "5TRHQ772", "version": 1, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 77132, "name": "Games Studies", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/games_studies", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/77132/items/5TRHQ772", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/games_studies/items/5TRHQ772", "type": "text/html" }, "up": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/77132/items/2R4W94A2", "type": "application/json" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 1009621, "username": "rhilu", "name": "", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/rhilu", "type": "text/html" } } } }, "data": { "key": "5TRHQ772", "version": 1, "parentItem": "2R4W94A2", "itemType": "attachment", "linkMode": "linked_url", "title": "Google Books Link", "accessDate": "2012-06-02T21:29:26Z", "url": "http://books.google.com/books?id=RlRVNikT06YC", "note": "", "contentType": "text/html", "charset": "", "tags": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2012-06-02T21:29:32Z", "dateModified": "2012-06-02T21:29:32Z" } }, { "key": "B3A2XVT5", "version": 149, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 77132, "name": "Games Studies", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/games_studies", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/77132/items/B3A2XVT5", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/games_studies/items/B3A2XVT5", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 1009621, "username": "rhilu", "name": "", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/rhilu", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Thompson", "parsedDate": "2008-07-01", "numChildren": 1 }, "data": { "key": "B3A2XVT5", "version": 149, "itemType": "book", "title": "The Frodo Franchise: The Lord of the Rings and Modern Hollywood", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Kristin", "lastName": "Thompson" } ], "abstractNote": "\"This is the best all-around view of the Tolkien phenomenon.

Fundamentally, the phenomenon involves the employment of multiple media platforms for expressing a fictional world. To date, theorists have focused on this phenomenon in mass entertainment, independent arts or gaming; and so, consequently the global, transartistic and transhistorical nature of the phenomenon has remained somewhat unrecognised. Theorists have also predominantly defined it according to end-point characteristics—such as the “expansion” trait (a story continues across media). This has resulted in the phenomenon being obscured amongst similar phenomena. Therefore, rather than investigate the phenomenon as it occurs in isolated artistic sectors and with an end-point characteristic, this thesis investigates all of these emergences through the lens of transmedia practice. That is, this thesis investigates the nature of transmedia practice in general, according to the way practitioners conceive and design a fictional world to be expressed across distinct media and environments.\n\nTo do this, this thesis draws on the semiotic theory of “multimodality” and “domains of practice” (Kress and van Leeuwen, 2001) to illuminate the unique knowledge and skills of practitioners involved in the design of transmedia projects. The industrial and aesthetic implications of the employment of distinct media are discussed, along with their semiotic activation. Related theories such as “hypertextuality” and “transfictionality” are problematised in light of transmedia phenomena. Since the phenomenon involves both narrative and game modes, a new methodology is introduced to study their presence at various stages of design: transmodality. The employment of the actual world in transmedia practices is discussed in light of Aristotle’s “dramatic unities” and through “deictic shift theory”. Through research questions from media, narrative and game studies as well as semiotics, this thesis aims to explain how transmedia is a peculiar practice that demands its own research area and methodologies.", "thesisType": "", "university": "University of Sydney", "place": "Sydney, Australia", "date": "2009", "series": "", "seriesNumber": "", "numPages": "358", "DOI": "", "ISBN": "", "citationKey": "", "url": "http://www.christydena.com/phd/", "accessDate": "", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "", "language": "", "libraryCatalog": "", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [], "collections": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2012-05-27T13:50:02Z", "dateModified": "2012-05-27T13:50:02Z" } }, { "key": "HFIZUVV9", "version": 1, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 77132, "name": "Games Studies", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/games_studies", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/77132/items/HFIZUVV9", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/games_studies/items/HFIZUVV9", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 986082, "username": "jikuusaber", "name": "", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/jikuusaber", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Kafai", "parsedDate": "2008", "numChildren": 0 }, "data": { "key": "HFIZUVV9", "version": 1, "itemType": "book", "title": "Beyond Barbie and Mortal Kombat : new perspectives on gender and gaming", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Yasmin B", "lastName": "Kafai" } ], "abstractNote": "\"Beyond Barbie and Mortal Kombat brings together new media theorists, game designers, educators, psychologists, and industry professionals, ... to look at how gender intersects with the broader contexts of digital games today: gaming, game industry and design, and serious games.
