Das beste am Strand...

What do you think of when you imagine going to the beach on a hot summer day? Sunblock, towels, bikinis maybe? Not me. I think about Galaga.

Less than 150 feet from any shoreline near a beach boardwalk, there's probably a video game arcade. Beach arcades have been around even before there were video games – in the late 1880s and early 1900s, you could pay a nickel to have your palms shocked by an electric current or your grip tested by a challenge to squeeze metal handles at Venice Beach, California or Coney Island, New York. And then, since the advent of Pong in the 1970s and through the phenomenon of Dance Dance Revolution, video game arcades and beaches have been closely linked.

Modern TVs ruin old games ((Kathodenröhren pflegen))

Kotaku wiederholt die Bildprobleme...

Big, fancy LCD and plasma TVs are just wonderful for 360 & PS3 games. But for older games (and some new ones!)- and by old, we mean old - they're not so hot. And this is why.

This write-up by NFG (of the selectbutton forums) goes into astonishing detail on just why fixed-resolution displays aren't up to the job of displaying retro games the way they were meant to be displayed.

See, old cathode ray tube sets (ie your old TV) could handle the resizing of pixels - which is what your old 8-bit & 16-bit games were made of - just fine. But newer TVs need to digitally "fudge" the picture, and the way they go about fudging it results in a distorted, often ugly image.

Was zieht den Spielgast in die Spielstätte ?

Überraschende Antworten auf diese Frage hat die Marketingfirma Reichert (nicht verbunden mit dem gleichnamigen Hersteller) gefunden. Wo sortiert Ihr Euch ein?

Nach Auffassung der Marketing Profis bezieht eine Spielstätte ihren Reiz vor allem aus folgenden Komponenten:

• Befriedigung des Spieltriebs
  
  
• Kontakt mit Gleich-Interessierten
  
  
• Vertreiben von Langeweile
  
  
• Ableitung gestauter Aggressionen

Capcom FTW ! ((For the Wine))

Capcom FTW ?! ((Not For the Win this time...))

Tsujimoto has gotten into wine-making and last year, he launched his first vintage made at a Napa Valley winery. The property was purchased by Capcom USA in 1990, and Tsujimoto later bought it as a private property. He has fronted this venture with US$100 million of his own money.

His wines are priced between ¥5,000 and ¥15,000 (US$51 - $153) a bottle and are named "Ai" ("indigo" in Japanese), "Murasaki" ("purple"), "Rindo" ("Japanese Bell Flower") and "Asatsuyu" ("morning dew"). Classy, sure, but there's a missed crossed branding opportunity. A glass of Street Fighter Bordeaux anyone? With "Bordeaux" being French for SPILLED BLOOD.

According Tsujimoto, crafting video games and crafting wine are "exactly the same." We'd like to point out that drinking wine and drinking video games, however, are different.
