Mogura Desse is interesting because it not only passed the legal requirements, but it tested every part of the system via play. By buying it back, they didn't just buy back their loophole, they bought back testing equipment. And also, if I recall, Battalion 1993 hasn't been dumped. For some reason, I think because the ROM was inside an early SOC of the time, nobody's been able to extract the game.

Having to include the Mini Vaders PCB simply increased the cost of the cabinet to comply with the regulatory requirement with absolutely no benefit to the consumer (either the buyer of the cabinet or the customers who actually played on it).

I was a Sea Wolf junkie as a kid. But even I had to admit that Space Invaders had something about it that was truly addictive, even in its relative infancy. Problem was, there was no way to copyright the concept of progressive alien wave, 1st person shooter games as protected intellectual property. So once Galaga/Galaxian/Gyruss came out, Space Invaders became a relic that only the little kids played while the aforementioned were occupied by bigger kids/teens and unavailable at the local arcade. When you bought the Atari/Sears 2600 packages in the early 80's, they often would include a Space Invaders cart for free. Not a fitting homage and ending for such an immutable classic.
@Datan0de22 күн бұрын
I have to somewhat disagree. Space Invaders for the 2600 is a fantastic take on the game with an absurd number of variations that genuinely mix up the gameplay and keep it fresh. It wasn't a pack-in cart because it was bad. It was a pack-in cart because it helped sell consoles.
@mattwuxx388818 күн бұрын
@@Datan0de Nothing wrong with Space Invaders it was a great game and one of the first 2600 games to get other kids over to your house in the early-80's as a "saving quarters at the arcade" -legit port. But as I said it quickly lost its luster as other competing companies/programmers were quick to cash in on the lack of copyright protection the game had in-built and created superior alternatives, within months of the 2600 version being released. The Atari 400/800 machines _alone,_ had 4 separate cart-tape ports for it(CXL4008, RX808, the infamous "Space Invader" pirate port sold at local Mom/Pop computer stores and the Roklan Software version, which was closer to the Colecovision/Commodore Vic20 port, than the Atari). So again, the SI game concept, had lost a lot of value(even in the arcades), by '82-'83. And yes, including a high name recognition game like SI with the Sears/Atari 2600 systems was a good idea. Most consumers didn't know then, what game historians know now about the declining SI brand and market share after 1981 or so.

I quit smoking 2 years ago, and so i approve of your sponsor. I get my nicotine in lozenge form now, but i had to break the "inhaling" addiction in a way that was bad for blood pressure: i used lozenges while i still smoked cigarettes, lowering the amount of cigs i smoked each day. Because you can be addicted to both nicotine and the act of smoking. At least that how it works if you smoked for 23 years. Yuck. Worst expensive (legal) habit in the world, and vaping nicotine just results in consuming more nicotine since its so easy to consume anywhere. I don't recommend vaping for someone who wants to quit smoking. Too easy to vape anywhere anytime, and though it may be healthier than cigarettes, your body will get used to needing small amounts of nicotine every 15 minutes or half hour, which doesn't help when quitting. Vapour still has particulate matter, which will still accumulate in your lungs. I have a 8mm node of lung treasure myself, thats why i quit.

Something which has long been a mystery to me, is an old arcade machine which I used to play in a local chip shop as a kid. It was a generic cabinet, no artwork or marquee, and a sunken CRT which you had to look right down at, as it was at an angle close to pointing directly upwards. The earliest clear memory I have of playing on this machine is the game Choplifter. I'm taking an educated guess that it most likely would have been 1986. But the earliest definite dateable memory I have is of playing Renegade on it, in 1987. I became obsessed with that game, so have no doubt that it was 1987. Roughly every three to four months, a new game would appear on the machine. Around 1992 / 93, Street Fighter II appeared on it. It was massively popular among local kids, so it became the permanent game for as long as I can remember thereafter. The mystery is; what was this machine?! How was it able to run a multitude of current arcade titles from Renegade in 1987 through to Street Fighter II around 1993?! In the mid-90's I chatted to the woman who ran the chip shop about it, and she explained that the machine was not their property and that some guy paid them a fixed rent to put it in their shop. She had no technical knowledge about it, she simply switched it on each day and kept it clean. But she mentioned that when the game was changed, the guy would come with a big board and swap it out. I have tried to research what this machine may have been, yet I cannot get close to an answer. Was it a Jamma machine? It seems to fit the bill, to some degree. But would Jamma have been capable of running all manner of games from Renegade to Street Fighter II? I've been chasing this answer for years.

@@playy1797 Interesting. I know for certain that the CRT was never changed, but I'm not sure whether the control panel ever was. If it was, I never noticed. One thing which I'm suspicious of, is the frequency with which the games would be updated. For a machine standing in a small chip shop, at only 10p per play, and the owner paying rent on putting it there, I struggle to imagine how he was able to profit from it whilst affording to change the game board some four times per year. It always had the latest hot game on it. I've long wondered about the possibility that it was some kind of bootleg system, and that the gameboards were also somehow pirated. The more I try to look back on what this machine may have been, the more I suspect that it may have been some sort of early illicit system which was not officially licenced and was loaded with illegal copies of games. I have searched a lot for any clues as to what it may have been, but I cannot find anything close to resembling it.

@@97channel Sounds like a JAMMA cab. Choplifter is not JAMMA, but the rest you listed are. It could have started as a non-JAMMA cab that was manually 'upgraded' to be JAMMA compatible. Bootleg arcade games were a thing, but since you still needed all the components (emulation was not an option yet) they would not be that much cheaper. And they would still be JAMMA, most likely. Unlike a console, or a console-like arcade system like the Neo Geo, JAMMA only really handles the connections between the monitor, controls and speakers etc. Everything needed to actually run the _game_ like the processor, memory, graphics chip, sound chip etc still has to be on the game PCB, which is why it can be compatible with such a wide variety of games.

I could see these being the next generation of arcade game collecting. Good to even have the board, best to have it with the machine it was meant to play on. So that leaves the $10,000 dollar question. Did Nintendo do this as well? During the NSS (Nintendo Super System) era? Another alternate method of "game changing" was perfected by SNK with the Neo Geo MVS. This was an alternative to Jamma, as Jamma needed the custom harness, the game motherboard (often needing proper fingerboards to install non Jamma to Jamma) and of course the controller/buttons as Jamma has awesome support for joysticks/trackballs/etc. For the Neo Geo, it was a simple cartridge change. I have a slot 1 MVS in a cabaret Neo Geo. And your choices are you can buy each Neo Geo MVS cart individually thus starting a library, or an MVS multicart that has over 100 games in a single cartridge. It's amazing what the Japanese innovated in the "Age of Arcade".
@deathstrike11 ай бұрын

Not quite right about the draw time. It just moves one every frame so it actually takes the same amount of time to draw them because it only ever redraws one at a time but when one is killed there are less frames needed to get back to the first one. eg 50 aliens, 50 frames to move them all, 40 is 40 frames all the way down to 1. You can see the way it works at the start of every round as it redraws them all one at a time.

Yeah I was thinking the same, I’d guess it’s more to do with how many invaders are updated per frame. After you’ve moved the player, moved the bullets, checked for and dealt with collisions etc, there may not be enough cpu time to move every invader, so instead they decided to just move one. If you have 40 invaders they’d be updated every 40 frames, if you have 20 they’d be updated every 20 frames and by the time there’s only 1 invader it’s moving every frame. I expect it’s something along those lines anyway
