My guy, Wozniak wasn't just "the other Apple guy" - he WAS Apple. Jobs was just the money man who gathered the initial investors and even then not only ripped Woz off by pocketing most of those initial money but bounced on the company shortly after the intro of the OG Mac in the 80's and stayed gone until the turn of the millenium. Woz designed, built and assembled all the OG hardware when Apple was just a startup. Jobs had no technical background and glommed on to Woz, just like Musk did with Thiel and co for Paypal.

7:35 - OK, the causality is a bit backwards here: games were designed in graph paper back then because displays buffers were tile-based in the 8-bit era for the most part. You can substitute "tile" for "character" too. And even machines that used bitmaps arranged those bitmaps in such a way as to make rendering 8x8 characters to the screen easy. Graph paper is a natural medium for design when when this is the case.

There was no war. Sega kamikazed. I'm glad I caught SF3 and Panzer Saga at the end. Good times. But then PS1 had grandia. So many awesome arcade ports on the saturn tho. Also so many awesome 2d games ps just didn't do. The 2d engine was pretty. And PS had wobbly graphics. If they'd just gone with polygons instead of quadrangles it wouldn't have been such a nightmare to program. Basically the saturn was a nightmare to make games on. Sony bought a shed load of developers and you could copy dreamcast games in any cdr as it ran on windows. Game Over Yeaaaahhhh. Well done SEGA (we still love you).

Except for 1 year much to their surprise but then EA reclaimed its spot the next year. 20 (and 30) years later and they are still managing to stay around, making mediocre game after mediocre game while buying up studios with fresh ideas and closing them down when the new ip that they pushed to rush out doesnt automatically make a billion dollars on day 1

Funny thing about the scratch and sniff discs, the GT2 one of which i owned; i actually later worked in a department that used that same technology for fragrance. Known as microencapsulation, it's basically perfume inside timy polymer beads that rupture under pressure. Didn't realise it was UK only though.

I don't quite recall it "just" from videogames, but the concept of scratch and sniff was around while I was growing up. So it does make sense that this niche little novelty thing also found its way into some videogames, when a random joke comic book could include a pack of smelly stickers.

I was just getting all nostalgic about this myself. I recently picked up Outcast 1.1 for a blast from the past and was reading through the manual, thinking about how I'd read through the manual before playing any game to get the back story and read how to play like I was doing homework or studying before a test. Which is weird because I was a terrible student who never studied, but at the time I could tell you all of the lore and translate many of the words from Outcast.

Fun, I flipped through a Tomb Raider IV guide book, an actual book with like 200 pages with hundreds of color photos today. Now TR IV is not from the 80s but I did wonder how they managed to capture the screenshots. They are printed small but they look really good. Maybe Windows had tools already, maybe they had to come up with something. Printed guides from that time are crazy anyway. So much effort. Reminds me of how I recorded the music of video games by setting up a microphone in front of the speaker. I later figured out a way to patch the audio cable into a tape recorder and then forward it to the TV so I could listen to it while recording but... yeah I was obsessed with some games.

if you think the scratch and sniff disc was odd, you should have seen what Sierra did with their Larry Laffer 7 game love for sail (arguably the last Larry Laffer game that was worth playing excluding the remakes). Each game was packaged with a card with 9 numbered tiles (no bigger than than the CD case itself). Whenever you entered a room in the game, a voice would announce "Cyber Sniff 2000" and the the appropriate number on the card would flash in screen.... You could then scratch it to get a whiff of what the room smelled like. And in a game where one of the challenges was to score a perfect score in a veeeeeeeeeeery particular activity of the horizontal type .... well.... you can see where a sniff card could go ....places.

When Tetris was created in 1984 by Alexey Pajitnov, a software engineer at the Soviet Academy of Sciences, it was originally designed as a test for new hardware rather than as a commercial product. Pajitnov created Tetris on an Electronika 60, a Soviet computer that lacked the graphical power of its Western counterparts, meaning the original game didn’t even have the colorful blocks we associate with Tetris today. Instead, it used brackets to represent the Tetris pieces. The game was later ported to the IBM PC by Vadim Gerasimov, a 16-year-old high school student working with Pajitnov, and it was this version that started to spread around the world, leading to its eventual global success.

For my computer science project in the 80s I had my friend who was an amateur photographer take pictures of all the screens for my dissertation. Most people didn’t do that, so their write-ups were full of mock-ups of what the software looked like rather than actual screens. I got top marks and I think at least some of that was because I found a way to take a screenshot!

The GT2 scratch and sniff discs were also released in the PAL region (Australasia) we had them here in New Zealand...it was a cool concept on paper, but the scent was very weak and vaguely smelt like rubber. The PS2 I think came with a demo disc that let you do some coding with the system - it came pre-loaded with the Snake game and was the first time I was exposed to coding; all I really did with it was mess around with speed values and lives but it was cool to get a look under the hood and see how games were put together.

If you get deluxe edition you get it tomorrow 12o clock But the servers are down right now because there’s a problem with players already having progress in their story and beating it already 100% so the service I shut down and off-line It’s an always online game.

That's an interesting fact about how Xbox got its name. I always assumed that Microsoft was trying to capitalize on the early 2000's trend of adding "X" to the beginning of everything to make it more eXtreme. I thought that, combined with the Surge/Mtn Dew green color scheme, was Microsoft giving us the eXtremeBOX as a contrasting alternative to the more conservative, staid presentation of Sony's PlayStation.

Additional interesting fact to Number 4: Many of the people who worked on "Golden Eye 64" would also work on the likewise as good "Perfect Dark" on the N64 and then would went on to form the Studio "Free Radical Design". If that name doesn't ring a bell yet: They're the ones behind the back at its time massively popular and stellar good "TimeSplitters" Trilogy. And recently have been shut down by the Embracer Group.

I tested Goldeneye at Nintendo of America. We were playing multiplayer all day in 12 hour shifts in a separate part of Nintendo's QA department.

Fun fact, paper prototypes are still relatively common practice to a certain extent in the game industry.

If you read or listen to the book console wars it actually tells the story of the developer pitching the Ecco game while at a work dinner. The book holds a lot of great history about video games and the industry.

Exactly why Goldeneye is so good. They just made what was fun, what they wanted to make, and they had passion for it. This is what is needed for a great game. Also since they were new they had no preconception of what others would do. Powerful combo. This is why games suck now. They are either copying one another or the game is design by committee.
