Drawing on extensive research, this book explores the techniques that old computer games used to run on tightly-constrained platforms. Retrogame developers faced incredible challenges of limited space, computing power, rudimentary tools, and the lack of homogeneous environments. Using examples from over 100 retrogames, this book examines the clever implementation tricks that game designers employed to make their creations possible, documenting these techniques that are being lost. However, these retrogame techniques have modern analogues and applications in general computer systems, not just games, and this book makes these contemporary connections. It also uses retrogames' implementation to introduce a wide variety of topics in computer systems including memory management, interpretation, data compression, procedural content generation, and software protection. Retrogame Archeology targets professionals and advanced-level students in computer science, engineering, and mathematics but would also be of interest to retrogame enthusiasts, computer historians, and game studies researchers in the humanities.

The story of a pioneering microcomputer: its beginnings as part of a national Computer Literary Project, its innovative hardware, and its creative uses. In 1982, the British Broadcasting Corporation launched its Computer Literacy Project, intended “to introduce interested adults to the world of computers and computing.” The BBC accompanied this initiative with television programs, courses, books, and software—an early experiment in multi-platform education. The BBC, along with Acorn Computers, also introduced the BBC Microcomputer, which would be at the forefront of the campaign. The BBC Micro was designed to meet the needs of users in homes and schools, to demystify computing, and to counter the general pessimism among the media in Britain about technology. In this book, Alison Gazzard looks at the BBC Micro, examining the early capabilities of multi-platform content generation and consumption and the multiple literacies this approach enabled—not only in programming and software creation, but also in accessing information across a range of media, and in “do-it-yourself” computing. She links many of these early developments to current new-media practices. Gazzard looks at games developed for the BBC Micro, including Granny's Garden, an educational game for primary schools, and Elite, the seminal space-trading game. She considers the shift in focus from hardware to peripherals, describing the Teletext Adapter as an early model for software distribution and the Domesday Project (which combined texts, video, and still photographs) as a hypermedia-like experience. Gazzard's account shows the BBC Micro not only as a vehicle for various literacies but also as a user-oriented machine that pushed the boundaries of what could be achieved in order to produce something completely new.

Retro Gamer 4/2016 Für Retro Gamer 4/2016 konnten wir unsere deutschen Autoren dafür gewinnen, ihre ganz persönlichen Erinnerungen an die Frühzeit des Commodore 64 mit unseren Lesern zu teilen. Wobei nicht jeder Spieleveteran auch wirklich ein Fan des Brotkastens war. Zusammen mit unserer (intern heiß diskutierten) Topliste „Die besten C64-Spiele“ ergibt das die 14seitige Titelgeschichte 33 Jahre Commodore 64 – die 1982 in USA erschienene 8-Bit-Kiste kam im März 1983 nach Deutschland. Aber auch für Atarianer, Speccy-Fans, Nintendo-Jünger, MS-DOS-Freaks oder Spielhallen-Daddler haben wir etwas in dieser Ausgabe etwas zu bieten: Beispielsweise stellen wir Street Fighter 2 ausführlich vor, berichten über Segas Doppelflop Mega CD und 32X, lassen Duke Nukem aufleben, rasen mit WipEout 2097 über Zukunftspisten und setzen uns zu Ron Gilbert aufs Sofa. Die meisten Seiten für ein einzelnes Thema erhielt dieses Mal der Apple Macintosh respektive die Firma Apple an sich: Obwohl zu Beginn der 8-Bit-Ära wichtige Spiele auf Apple II entstanden, bringen Retrofans selten Apple mit Retro Games in Verbindung. Völlig zu Unrecht! Und auf immerhin zwölf Seiten beschäftigen wir uns diesmal mit Nintendo-Hardware beziehungsweise den fast unbekannten Perlen dafür. ePaper-PDF: 74 MB

A guide to the weird and wonderful inhabitants of New Zealand, and the places you'll find them. After years of mimicking celebrities and Kiwi stereotypes on social media, comedian Tom Sainsbury has compiled all his favourite character types into a book. His array of Kiwi heroes includes the useless Farmhand who is forever jack-knifing the trailer, the Martyr Mother who constantly guilt-trips her children, and the Officious New Zealander who loves narking on his office co-workers for the mildest of misdemeanours. All these descriptions are lovingly collated into a concise, easy-to-use field guide that'll give you an in-depth insight into the people of Aotearoa.
