      I played sonic when I was like 6 too lol

      I didn't know so many British and Americans were so important in creating stuff for Japanese companies too Because they hacked a Nintendo console. And made it capable of running a game in 3d. Which is illegal to do. But the Nintendo staff didn't t believe that is possible and they wanted to see it after they heard about it so invited them and saw. Then asked them if they will make a game for their new console like thisThat game was 1993 tho and built on a console that...

      Highlights in video game history

      Highlights in video game history featured in this film:

      In 1978, Tomohiro Nishikaku 's "Space Invaders" increased the sales of arcade machines by 200 times. The Atari 2600 system in the American game industry was a super best-selling home game console (that is, the predecessor of the Xiaobawang learning machine that I played when I was a child). );

      Video Game Museum (early part)

      After two days of watching this early history of video games narrated by Mario's voice actor Charles Martinet, there are six episodes in total, each episode of more than 40 minutes, from Atari to Doom, it feels like visiting a museum. Charles Martinet himself did not appear in the camera and did not "deliberately" shout out Mario's lines. One of the features of the film is that some old game producers make some "game actions", and the other is a large number of "paper and...

      Video games are more than High Score

      Watching High Score these two days is like going back to the Games 101 lecture every Monday night two years ago. Because it is the only class on the Washington Square campus, I have to take the school bus from BK to Manhattan. I try to write down all the points that are not on the slides to cope with the quiz in the lab on Wednesday. At the end of the mid-term, when I was reciting the release year, platform, and producer of more than 100 games, I complained in my heart...

      Everything is Remix

      I can almost memorize the history of game console business competition. As a game history lover, my bookcase is full of game history books from different publishers at home and abroad, so when I flipped through this film on Netflix, I ignored it. , isn't it just talking about what you already know? But really not, it does not use the traditional way of storytelling. The protagonist is no longer a god-like Hero such as Shigeru Miyamoto, but an ordinary child who won the...

      It feels like a documentary for non-player groups, combined with technological progress and genre, it places great emphasis on the producer's personal heroic pioneering work and its far-reaching impact on the industry and even individual players. But the content is very limited. It only introduces the early development of the game, and many important works are not introduced. It seems too shallow as a...

      From the perspective of developers, to reveal the tip of the iceberg of game history, the details are of course quite attentive, but the volume of six episodes can only be...

    Movie plot

    Although new things emerge in an endless stream, there are always people who are nostalgic, some historical works will still be mentioned from time to time, and even some works will reappear in front of a new generation of players in the form of remakes and engraved versions. If you want to understand or relive the origins and development of modern video games, Netflix's new documentary "High Score" is worth looking forward to.
