Josh and Kurt talk about Capcom claiming modding a game is akin to cheating. The arguments used are fundamentally one of equity vs equality. Humans love to focus on equality instead of equity when we deal with most problems. This is especially true in the world of security. Rather than doing something that has a net positive, we ignore the details and focus on doing something that feels "right". Show Notes Why Capcom thinks PC game modding is akin to “cheating” Ben Heck

Picture it...it's the early 90's, you and your family are on the road for summer vacation, the sun has set but you need to game hasn't. You try to turn on the dome light of the family station wagon so you can keep arranging falling blocks at break-neck speed, but your parents tell you it's illegal to drive with that light on...and it would be years, perhaps even decades before you found out that was a lie. Welcome back to Side Stitches! This week, in a twist of fate, Joe and Joe alone talks about a brief history of consoles before this week's main episode with console and electronics hacker Ben Heck drops by for a visit.

By the time of the late 1970's, Japan's airwaves were flooded with giant robots. Every week new adversaries would appear for their super-powered robot heroes to smash and save the day. However, as the animation genre itself was changing from TV Manga to Anime, giant robots also needed to change into something more meaningful and Yoshiyuki Tomino had an idea how to do it. Welcome to season 1 episode 34 of Digital Dissection: A Nerd Podcast! Today Joe and Mark give you a crash course on the making of Mobilesuit Gundam and the plot of the original series. This week's topic is also at the request of twitter follower "GeoFire" after winning our contest on twitter...a little while ago.

In this episode, Tony and Dennis are joined by Taylor Reese (owner/operator of Reese Rails and one of the hosts of This Flippin' Podcast). Given Taylor's pinball background, most of the discussion centers on that hobby. The guys announce the conclusion of the "shame" pinball tournament, discuss Stern Pinball's Supreme pin, provide a Skit-B legal update, talk about some quality issues that have arisen with the Attack from Mars Remake, and cover Ben Heck's announcement that he has left Spooky Pinball. In addition, time is spent on collector aspects of the pinball hobby, and a fun discussion about pinball "conventional wisdom" and where the guys buck the trend on what they favor.

Matt Bok is back yet again for an extra long, extra special episode. (Check out episode 16 for our last discussion on retro gaming). Just in time for the holiday season, we discuss the Atari Flashback portable and the NES Classic Edition. Show notes: AtGames - makers of the Atari Flashback systems NES Classic Edition Racing the Beam, a book about the amazing stuff that Atari developers were able to do with extremely primitive hardware. The RCA Studio II, an early cartidge-based system that I actually didn't know about until this podcast! Tempest 2000 on Atari Jaguar - a game that definitely needs a rerelease or a remaster or something. Ben Heck, the console hacker, has a book called Hacking Video Game Consoles The documentary we mentioned is called Atari: Game Over (also available on Netflix). Certainly the E.T. landfill legend is part of it, but the overall rise & fall of Atari is the subject of the documentary. The E.T. 2600 ROM hack, with some commentary on why it's not a terrible game, and was perhaps just ahead of its time I did a live stream of E.T. for 2600 on my on-again off-again show MSTCX.

Those are important, but the concepts extends to games and other digital media too. Sometimes it might even be a practical market share consideration: By some measurements 20% of gamers […]
上一次提到，sony因为和任天堂分手了，才导致了playstation的问世，如果不分手，sony不见得一定要进入家用游戏机市场，但是，这个历史是不能假设的，如果能假设，我们也就都不会和初恋分手了。我们来看一下sony和任天堂分手以后，如何把他们曾经共同的孩子playstation独自拉扯大，并且正是playstation，把任天堂从家用游戏机的王座上拉下马来。在1991年6月的时候，任天堂和sony还没有分手，当时在芝加哥举办的CES国际消费电子展上，sony还发布了Playstation的原型机，这款原型机并没有真正的发布，就当我们以为这台原型机永远都不会面世的时候，国外网友竟然买到了这台神奇的原型机，当一会儿我再来说说这个原型机。另外一件我希望能再次面世的东西是红楼梦，希望后面的40回，曹雪芹写的那40回能再次露面。就在sony和任天堂共同发布这款机器以后，任天堂突然宣布单方面撕毁合约，据说，促使撕毁合约背后的关键人物是山内溥的女婿，当时美国任天堂的总裁荒川实。当时荒川实敏锐的发现了CD-ROM是未来的主流，一旦sony掌握了CD-ROM的生产，就相当于断了任天堂的后路。任天堂宣布和飞利浦公司合作生产CD-ROM，当然，最后飞利浦这个插足的第三者也是无疾而终，最终也没有合作出什么东西来。当然，也有另外一个传闻说，sony想通过sony音乐娱乐来进军游戏软件市场，这件事情让山内溥勃然大怒。不管怎么说了，任天堂和sony分手了。后者的传闻有一定的可信度，因为后来playstation就是sony和sony音乐娱乐共同推出的，并不是由sony公司推出的，sony和sony音乐娱乐每家公司出资一半，成立了一个新的合资公司，名字叫sony电脑娱乐(SCE)。从这一点可以推测出几点，第一，山内溥老爷子消息还是很灵通的，他获得的那个消息起码不是空穴来风。还有一点，我们也可以看出，sony总公司对playstation的成功并不抱太大的希望，否则也不会新成立一家公司来避嫌，当时，sony公司是世界上首屈一指的家电大厂，黑科技层出不穷，我说的sony的黑科技是真的黑科技，有机会我做一期关于sony黑科技的文章，列举一下sony的黑科技和现在国内一些厂商的黑科技有什么不同，国内的黑科技是黑了科技，简直就是往科技脸上抹黑。正式因为sony公司当时名声在外，所以集团内部的人觉得去卖个游戏机，有辱sony的名声，我堂堂的大sony竟然要去卖游戏？他们担心sony的品牌会因此受损。几十年后的中国，也有一个人和sony公司一样，觉得做游戏是一件让公司丢脸的事情，毕竟游戏会让年轻人堕落。原话是这样说的：中国本来就是独生子女家庭，孩子们都玩游戏的话，国家将来怎么办？所以游戏我们一分钱都不投。人家投，我们鼓掌，但是我们不做，这是我们的一个原则。这么正义凛然的讲话，赢得了现场观众的一阵阵掌声，赢得了众多网友的交口称赞，这才是中国企业家的责任感。然后，掌声未落，他就投资了数十亿到家庭数字娱乐。首先，他没有食言，他确实没有投一分钱，而是投了数十亿。其次，他没有投资游戏，他把游戏改名字了，叫家庭数字娱乐。原来说饿死也不做游戏的意思是，只要饿不死就做游戏。sony也是这个德行，瞧不起做游戏的，到现在快30年了，当年信誓旦旦的sony公司，几乎只剩下游戏机部门还在盈利，sony做的收音机，电视机，随身听，都已经赔钱甚至卖掉了，不知道30年前那帮家伙如果知道30年后的情况，会有什么感想。所以啊，话不要说满，做人留一线，日后好见面。当时被委以重任的是一个叫久多良木健的年轻人，在大贺典雄的支持下，他说出了自己的观点：我们和任天堂已经闹翻了，在游戏机这个事情上，如果我们这次怂了，不是成功不成功的问题，这件事可以让别人嘲笑一辈子！在坐的所有反对者也沉默了，是啊，如果任天堂这么闹，你大sony还吃哑巴亏，整天像外交部一样煮熟的鸭子嘴硬，只会称为别人一辈子的笑柄。sony不会成为这样的笑柄。久多良木健是个技术天才，他不是只会念PPT的演讲大师，实际上，他在人际关系处理方面可以算是个大白痴，不仅容易和媒体搞的关系僵硬，而且对粉丝不理不睬，甚至和同事的关系，也是僵化的不行。但是，他牛就牛在，他自己能搞定技术。你说不行的东西，他懒得说服你，他直接做出来打你的脸。以前给任天堂的机器搞音频芯片时候是这样，现在轮到自己的机器了，他自然更是十二分的努力。PS的基础是久多良木健开发的一种商用图像处理系统，名字叫System G。这个系统本来是用在电视节目的制作上，给电视台处理视频用的，性能极其强悍。他直接拿过来做游戏机了，以至于Sony展示Playstation的时候，资深的游戏记者都说sony肯定作假了，以现在的技术根本不可能实现这么绚丽的效果。记者么，当然是读者喜欢看啥就写啥，所以，大部分记者其实没啥良知，当然，不止记者，绝大部分人类都没啥良知。然后，骂sony肯定是喜闻乐见的，当时sony是老大，竟然试图用做出来的效果糊弄我们，我们游戏记者西方哪个国家没去过，会被你sony蒙骗？然后口诛笔伐。问题是，久多良木健和媒体打交道的方面很欠缺，有一种有口难辩的感觉，只能木讷的说我TMD没说谎，我这都是有一说一，我擦，媒体一看，这索尼你搞啥啊，起码整个能说会道的，至少得是个说相声演员级别的当发言人吧，你这整个久多良木健出来，话都说不利索，完蛋了，sony要玩。我前面也说了，久多良木健的厉害之处就是只会实力打脸，语言方面不吹，他竟然煞有介事的给记者解释为啥他的playstation能跑的这么快，当然了，记者根本听不懂。最后，他只好拿出playstation的样机让记者随便玩玩看，这明显不是造假。然后记者一看，我去，这看起来木讷的傻根挺能啊，不是吹牛。这主要是当时市场上只有区区几款3D游戏，比如说南梦宫的《山脊赛车》和世嘉的《VR战士》，算是3D游戏界的明星产品，如果大家有兴趣，可以去敏感词搜搜看，以现在的眼光来看，刚刚达到目前国产3D游戏的水平吧，还是比较粗糙的。当时plastation也不是没有硬伤，硬伤就是2D性能不行，3D性能强悍。由于配备了专用的3D播放芯片，再加上sony本来就很牛逼的CD-ROM技术，游戏开始的片头动画直接把当时的记者震撼的不要不要的。媒体都是这样，记者本来就是个工作，骂你能赚钱拿稿费，他就骂你，夸你能赚钱拿稿费，他就夸你，反正不管是骂还是夸，只要有稿费拿就好。这次看了傻根的真机展示，开始夸了。开始夸这绝对是一款跨时代的硬件产品等等。所以，有时候大家一定要记住一件事，千万不要相信任何媒体，但是大家也不能太矫枉过正，要有选择的相信，做出自己的判断。比如说，当你看到某个媒体说现在是几月几日北京时间7点整，这个一般是不说谎的，然后听完这一句，才开始说谎。真真假假的，让你很难分辨出来。还有报纸也是这样，顶多看一下日期，其它的，可能都是记者瞎搞的，也不能说100%都是假的，起码98%是假的吧。PS拥有极其强大的硬件，并且外观设计的也算中规中矩，playstation的主机采用的是全球统一设计，主机的颜色采用的是灰色，不抢眼也不黯淡，虽说不能说是漂亮的不像实力派吧，但是，的确是个中庸的实力派。另外，这台playstation还在主机表面进行了磨砂的处理，这在当时的产品，尤其是sony公司里非常的罕见。其实这也得益于sony公司并不是太看好playstation的未来，因此组织了合资公司来生产销售playstaion这台游戏机，正因为这种爹不疼娘不爱的情况，playstation才能不受sony观念的束缚，以自由的想象力来对主机以及控制手柄做出了重新的定义。我们都知道，游戏机光有硬件是没用的，没有游戏的游戏机，硬件性能再牛逼，最终只能摆在家里看。正因为如此，所以sony的成功，其实是建立在不停的拉拢早就想造反的，已经被任天堂蹂躏的体无完肤的游戏厂商了。还有一个不得不提的重要因素是，索尼和索尼音乐娱乐共同出资建立的sony电脑娱乐，其中的大股东之一索尼音乐娱乐是做唱片的，这个索尼音乐娱乐在娱乐界是一个大腕，旗下一大群音乐家和作曲家，反正当时playstation也没有游戏支持，毕竟刚做出来的主机，还没有厂商开发游戏，于是这一块，直接使用的sony音乐娱乐的方式，和游戏工作室签约，而不是任天堂那种专制的模式，这个模式非常的宽松，就和音乐家一样，毕竟索尼音乐娱乐这方面做的非常的成功，以前做出游戏出来，大家并不知道这个游戏是谁做的，但是sony这个模式一推出，游戏玩家开始非常的认可这种模式。和我们听歌一样，很少注意哪家出版的这首歌，反而非常注意谁唱的这首歌，毕竟符合自己胃口的歌星不多，但是只要是这个歌星唱的歌，管它谁发行的呢?sony的这个模式也是这样，后来，玩家越来越注重哪个游戏制作人制作的游戏，哪个游戏工作室开发的游戏，自从playstation以后，出名的制作人和出名的音乐家一样，开始越来越个性化了，反而哪个厂商哪个发行商变得不是那么重要了。而且sony还举行游戏制作人选秀节目，从中出现了一大批出名的制作人，出名的游戏，比如一个大学生团队，也就是后来的shift公司，出品了处女座XI(sai)，一个解密游戏。还有一个随身模拟养成的游戏，随身玩伴多罗猫，都是在这个选秀活动中涌现出来的。再回过头来说说sony和任天堂共同开发的那台机器吧，他的名字也叫playstation。因为这台机器太过久远了，几乎所有人都已经遗忘了，也觉得不会再出现了，但是很神奇的事情总是会发生，敏感词上一个我非常喜欢的主播，名字叫Ben Heck。关于敏感词我再多说两句，敏感词是这个世界上最好的视频网站，这个不用怀疑，如果不管多小众的东西，在上面可以找到视频，比如我说的这个Ben Heck，还有几个Game Historian以及各种冷门的计算机的拆解视频，冷门编程语言的讲解视频，敏感词上全都有。而且做的非常非常的专业。别说是小众的内容，就是低俗的视频，敏感词上三俗的视频，底线绝对比国内的遮遮掩掩的低俗的多。所以呢，高雅的有，三俗的也有，非常推荐大家去看看敏感词，通过各种方法，发现一个神奇的世界，关于三俗的，我就不推荐了，毕竟，我一般也想装的高雅一点，还是留给有心人自己去发掘。只是友情提示一点，敏感词不同的国家，搜出来的视频是不同的，比如新加坡和日本不同，日本和美国不同，经过我仔细的比较，最三俗的国家是美国，最清真的国家是中国，直接不让上。比如说我讲的这些东西，比起敏感词的视频来，连个皮毛都算不上，我只能讲解三手的传闻，人家是拆解一手的硬件。好了，继续来谈这个任天堂和sony蜜月期创造出来，但是没有最终发布的plastation。想看视频的，非常推荐去敏感词搜索Ben Heck这个频道，这个主播，每一期都很好看。首先，这个主播搞到了一台sony和任天堂共同生产的playstation，然后发现，毕竟好几十年了，开发机，也没有什么游戏支持，就拆解了它。看看里面的芯片。然后他发现里面的很多硬件已经损坏了，毕竟30年的老古董了，也情有可原。然后，更厉害的是，他决定把这台机器修复起来。经过重新焊接电路板，修复光驱等一系列复杂的手续，那台机器竟然可以开机了，但是屏幕总是闪，还是不能用。这时候这个播主扎实的硬件直觉告诉他，应该是电容有问题。然后他开始查找电容和电源，在更换了电容以后，那台机器竟然可以启动起来了。可以播放CD，也可以使用任天堂的卡带玩游戏，甚至，声音听起来还不错。就这台机器，设计的也算中规中矩，乳白色的外壳，当年最强大的光驱，最新的声音芯片，支持任天堂最热门的游戏，如果当年sony和任天堂没有分手，这台机器会不会称为一代霸主呢？毕竟这台游戏机太强大了，sony的硬件加上任天堂的软件，简直可以说是打遍天下无敌手。但是，历史不容假设，时间也不会倒流，只有这个白色的盒子，诉说着当年那段恋情，那段sony和任天堂都不会再提起的恋情...
上一次提到，sony因为和任天堂分手了，才导致了playstation的问世，如果不分手，sony不见得一定要进入家用游戏机市场，但是，这个历史是不能假设的，如果能假设，我们也就都不会和初恋分手了。我们来看一下sony和任天堂分手以后，如何把他们曾经共同的孩子playstation独自拉扯大，并且正是playstation，把任天堂从家用游戏机的王座上拉下马来。在1991年6月的时候，任天堂和sony还没有分手，当时在芝加哥举办的CES国际消费电子展上，sony还发布了Playstation的原型机，这款原型机并没有真正的发布，就当我们以为这台原型机永远都不会面世的时候，国外网友竟然买到了这台神奇的原型机，当一会儿我再来说说这个原型机。另外一件我希望能再次面世的东西是红楼梦，希望后面的40回，曹雪芹写的那40回能再次露面。就在sony和任天堂共同发布这款机器以后，任天堂突然宣布单方面撕毁合约，据说，促使撕毁合约背后的关键人物是山内溥的女婿，当时美国任天堂的总裁荒川实。当时荒川实敏锐的发现了CD-ROM是未来的主流，一旦sony掌握了CD-ROM的生产，就相当于断了任天堂的后路。任天堂宣布和飞利浦公司合作生产CD-ROM，当然，最后飞利浦这个插足的第三者也是无疾而终，最终也没有合作出什么东西来。当然，也有另外一个传闻说，sony想通过sony音乐娱乐来进军游戏软件市场，这件事情让山内溥勃然大怒。不管怎么说了，任天堂和sony分手了。后者的传闻有一定的可信度，因为后来playstation就是sony和sony音乐娱乐共同推出的，并不是由sony公司推出的，sony和sony音乐娱乐每家公司出资一半，成立了一个新的合资公司，名字叫sony电脑娱乐(SCE)。从这一点可以推测出几点，第一，山内溥老爷子消息还是很灵通的，他获得的那个消息起码不是空穴来风。还有一点，我们也可以看出，sony总公司对playstation的成功并不抱太大的希望，否则也不会新成立一家公司来避嫌，当时，sony公司是世界上首屈一指的家电大厂，黑科技层出不穷，我说的sony的黑科技是真的黑科技，有机会我做一期关于sony黑科技的文章，列举一下sony的黑科技和现在国内一些厂商的黑科技有什么不同，国内的黑科技是黑了科技，简直就是往科技脸上抹黑。正式因为sony公司当时名声在外，所以集团内部的人觉得去卖个游戏机，有辱sony的名声，我堂堂的大sony竟然要去卖游戏？他们担心sony的品牌会因此受损。几十年后的中国，也有一个人和sony公司一样，觉得做游戏是一件让公司丢脸的事情，毕竟游戏会让年轻人堕落。原话是这样说的：中国本来就是独生子女家庭，孩子们都玩游戏的话，国家将来怎么办？所以游戏我们一分钱都不投。人家投，我们鼓掌，但是我们不做，这是我们的一个原则。这么正义凛然的讲话，赢得了现场观众的一阵阵掌声，赢得了众多网友的交口称赞，这才是中国企业家的责任感。然后，掌声未落，他就投资了数十亿到家庭数字娱乐。首先，他没有食言，他确实没有投一分钱，而是投了数十亿。其次，他没有投资游戏，他把游戏改名字了，叫家庭数字娱乐。原来说饿死也不做游戏的意思是，只要饿不死就做游戏。sony也是这个德行，瞧不起做游戏的，到现在快30年了，当年信誓旦旦的sony公司，几乎只剩下游戏机部门还在盈利，sony做的收音机，电视机，随身听，都已经赔钱甚至卖掉了，不知道30年前那帮家伙如果知道30年后的情况，会有什么感想。所以啊，话不要说满，做人留一线，日后好见面。当时被委以重任的是一个叫久多良木健的年轻人，在大贺典雄的支持下，他说出了自己的观点：我们和任天堂已经闹翻了，在游戏机这个事情上，如果我们这次怂了，不是成功不成功的问题，这件事可以让别人嘲笑一辈子！在坐的所有反对者也沉默了，是啊，如果任天堂这么闹，你大sony还吃哑巴亏，整天像外交部一样煮熟的鸭子嘴硬，只会称为别人一辈子的笑柄。sony不会成为这样的笑柄。久多良木健是个技术天才，他不是只会念PPT的演讲大师，实际上，他在人际关系处理方面可以算是个大白痴，不仅容易和媒体搞的关系僵硬，而且对粉丝不理不睬，甚至和同事的关系，也是僵化的不行。但是，他牛就牛在，他自己能搞定技术。你说不行的东西，他懒得说服你，他直接做出来打你的脸。以前给任天堂的机器搞音频芯片时候是这样，现在轮到自己的机器了，他自然更是十二分的努力。PS的基础是久多良木健开发的一种商用图像处理系统，名字叫System G。这个系统本来是用在电视节目的制作上，给电视台处理视频用的，性能极其强悍。他直接拿过来做游戏机了，以至于Sony展示Playstation的时候，资深的游戏记者都说sony肯定作假了，以现在的技术根本不可能实现这么绚丽的效果。记者么，当然是读者喜欢看啥就写啥，所以，大部分记者其实没啥良知，当然，不止记者，绝大部分人类都没啥良知。然后，骂sony肯定是喜闻乐见的，当时sony是老大，竟然试图用做出来的效果糊弄我们，我们游戏记者西方哪个国家没去过，会被你sony蒙骗？然后口诛笔伐。问题是，久多良木健和媒体打交道的方面很欠缺，有一种有口难辩的感觉，只能木讷的说我TMD没说谎，我这都是有一说一，我擦，媒体一看，这索尼你搞啥啊，起码整个能说会道的，至少得是个说相声演员级别的当发言人吧，你这整个久多良木健出来，话都说不利索，完蛋了，sony要玩。我前面也说了，久多良木健的厉害之处就是只会实力打脸，语言方面不吹，他竟然煞有介事的给记者解释为啥他的playstation能跑的这么快，当然了，记者根本听不懂。最后，他只好拿出playstation的样机让记者随便玩玩看，这明显不是造假。然后记者一看，我去，这看起来木讷的傻根挺能啊，不是吹牛。这主要是当时市场上只有区区几款3D游戏，比如说南梦宫的《山脊赛车》和世嘉的《VR战士》，算是3D游戏界的明星产品，如果大家有兴趣，可以去敏感词搜搜看，以现在的眼光来看，刚刚达到目前国产3D游戏的水平吧，还是比较粗糙的。当时plastation也不是没有硬伤，硬伤就是2D性能不行，3D性能强悍。由于配备了专用的3D播放芯片，再加上sony本来就很牛逼的CD-ROM技术，游戏开始的片头动画直接把当时的记者震撼的不要不要的。媒体都是这样，记者本来就是个工作，骂你能赚钱拿稿费，他就骂你，夸你能赚钱拿稿费，他就夸你，反正不管是骂还是夸，只要有稿费拿就好。这次看了傻根的真机展示，开始夸了。开始夸这绝对是一款跨时代的硬件产品等等。所以，有时候大家一定要记住一件事，千万不要相信任何媒体，但是大家也不能太矫枉过正，要有选择的相信，做出自己的判断。比如说，当你看到某个媒体说现在是几月几日北京时间7点整，这个一般是不说谎的，然后听完这一句，才开始说谎。真真假假的，让你很难分辨出来。还有报纸也是这样，顶多看一下日期，其它的，可能都是记者瞎搞的，也不能说100%都是假的，起码98%是假的吧。PS拥有极其强大的硬件，并且外观设计的也算中规中矩，playstation的主机采用的是全球统一设计，主机的颜色采用的是灰色，不抢眼也不黯淡，虽说不能说是漂亮的不像实力派吧，但是，的确是个中庸的实力派。另外，这台playstation还在主机表面进行了磨砂的处理，这在当时的产品，尤其是sony公司里非常的罕见。其实这也得益于sony公司并不是太看好playstation的未来，因此组织了合资公司来生产销售playstaion这台游戏机，正因为这种爹不疼娘不爱的情况，playstation才能不受sony观念的束缚，以自由的想象力来对主机以及控制手柄做出了重新的定义。我们都知道，游戏机光有硬件是没用的，没有游戏的游戏机，硬件性能再牛逼，最终只能摆在家里看。正因为如此，所以sony的成功，其实是建立在不停的拉拢早就想造反的，已经被任天堂蹂躏的体无完肤的游戏厂商了。还有一个不得不提的重要因素是，索尼和索尼音乐娱乐共同出资建立的sony电脑娱乐，其中的大股东之一索尼音乐娱乐是做唱片的，这个索尼音乐娱乐在娱乐界是一个大腕，旗下一大群音乐家和作曲家，反正当时playstation也没有游戏支持，毕竟刚做出来的主机，还没有厂商开发游戏，于是这一块，直接使用的sony音乐娱乐的方式，和游戏工作室签约，而不是任天堂那种专制的模式，这个模式非常的宽松，就和音乐家一样，毕竟索尼音乐娱乐这方面做的非常的成功，以前做出游戏出来，大家并不知道这个游戏是谁做的，但是sony这个模式一推出，游戏玩家开始非常的认可这种模式。和我们听歌一样，很少注意哪家出版的这首歌，反而非常注意谁唱的这首歌，毕竟符合自己胃口的歌星不多，但是只要是这个歌星唱的歌，管它谁发行的呢?sony的这个模式也是这样，后来，玩家越来越注重哪个游戏制作人制作的游戏，哪个游戏工作室开发的游戏，自从playstation以后，出名的制作人和出名的音乐家一样，开始越来越个性化了，反而哪个厂商哪个发行商变得不是那么重要了。而且sony还举行游戏制作人选秀节目，从中出现了一大批出名的制作人，出名的游戏，比如一个大学生团队，也就是后来的shift公司，出品了处女座XI(sai)，一个解密游戏。还有一个随身模拟养成的游戏，随身玩伴多罗猫，都是在这个选秀活动中涌现出来的。再回过头来说说sony和任天堂共同开发的那台机器吧，他的名字也叫playstation。因为这台机器太过久远了，几乎所有人都已经遗忘了，也觉得不会再出现了，但是很神奇的事情总是会发生，敏感词上一个我非常喜欢的主播，名字叫Ben Heck。关于敏感词我再多说两句，敏感词是这个世界上最好的视频网站，这个不用怀疑，如果不管多小众的东西，在上面可以找到视频，比如我说的这个Ben Heck，还有几个Game Historian以及各种冷门的计算机的拆解视频，冷门编程语言的讲解视频，敏感词上全都有。而且做的非常非常的专业。别说是小众的内容，就是低俗的视频，敏感词上三俗的视频，底线绝对比国内的遮遮掩掩的低俗的多。所以呢，高雅的有，三俗的也有，非常推荐大家去看看敏感词，通过各种方法，发现一个神奇的世界，关于三俗的，我就不推荐了，毕竟，我一般也想装的高雅一点，还是留给有心人自己去发掘。只是友情提示一点，敏感词不同的国家，搜出来的视频是不同的，比如新加坡和日本不同，日本和美国不同，经过我仔细的比较，最三俗的国家是美国，最清真的国家是中国，直接不让上。比如说我讲的这些东西，比起敏感词的视频来，连个皮毛都算不上，我只能讲解三手的传闻，人家是拆解一手的硬件。好了，继续来谈这个任天堂和sony蜜月期创造出来，但是没有最终发布的plastation。想看视频的，非常推荐去敏感词搜索Ben Heck这个频道，这个主播，每一期都很好看。首先，这个主播搞到了一台sony和任天堂共同生产的playstation，然后发现，毕竟好几十年了，开发机，也没有什么游戏支持，就拆解了它。看看里面的芯片。然后他发现里面的很多硬件已经损坏了，毕竟30年的老古董了，也情有可原。然后，更厉害的是，他决定把这台机器修复起来。经过重新焊接电路板，修复光驱等一系列复杂的手续，那台机器竟然可以开机了，但是屏幕总是闪，还是不能用。这时候这个播主扎实的硬件直觉告诉他，应该是电容有问题。然后他开始查找电容和电源，在更换了电容以后，那台机器竟然可以启动起来了。可以播放CD，也可以使用任天堂的卡带玩游戏，甚至，声音听起来还不错。就这台机器，设计的也算中规中矩，乳白色的外壳，当年最强大的光驱，最新的声音芯片，支持任天堂最热门的游戏，如果当年sony和任天堂没有分手，这台机器会不会称为一代霸主呢？毕竟这台游戏机太强大了，sony的硬件加上任天堂的软件，简直可以说是打遍天下无敌手。但是，历史不容假设，时间也不会倒流，只有这个白色的盒子，诉说着当年那段恋情，那段sony和任天堂都不会再提起的恋情...
上一次提到，sony因为和任天堂分手了，才导致了playstation的问世，如果不分手，sony不见得一定要进入家用游戏机市场，但是，这个历史是不能假设的，如果能假设，我们也就都不会和初恋分手了。我们来看一下sony和任天堂分手以后，如何把他们曾经共同的孩子playstation独自拉扯大，并且正是playstation，把任天堂从家用游戏机的王座上拉下马来。在1991年6月的时候，任天堂和sony还没有分手，当时在芝加哥举办的CES国际消费电子展上，sony还发布了Playstation的原型机，这款原型机并没有真正的发布，就当我们以为这台原型机永远都不会面世的时候，国外网友竟然买到了这台神奇的原型机，当一会儿我再来说说这个原型机。另外一件我希望能再次面世的东西是红楼梦，希望后面的40回，曹雪芹写的那40回能再次露面。就在sony和任天堂共同发布这款机器以后，任天堂突然宣布单方面撕毁合约，据说，促使撕毁合约背后的关键人物是山内溥的女婿，当时美国任天堂的总裁荒川实。当时荒川实敏锐的发现了CD-ROM是未来的主流，一旦sony掌握了CD-ROM的生产，就相当于断了任天堂的后路。任天堂宣布和飞利浦公司合作生产CD-ROM，当然，最后飞利浦这个插足的第三者也是无疾而终，最终也没有合作出什么东西来。当然，也有另外一个传闻说，sony想通过sony音乐娱乐来进军游戏软件市场，这件事情让山内溥勃然大怒。不管怎么说了，任天堂和sony分手了。后者的传闻有一定的可信度，因为后来playstation就是sony和sony音乐娱乐共同推出的，并不是由sony公司推出的，sony和sony音乐娱乐每家公司出资一半，成立了一个新的合资公司，名字叫sony电脑娱乐(SCE)。从这一点可以推测出几点，第一，山内溥老爷子消息还是很灵通的，他获得的那个消息起码不是空穴来风。还有一点，我们也可以看出，sony总公司对playstation的成功并不抱太大的希望，否则也不会新成立一家公司来避嫌，当时，sony公司是世界上首屈一指的家电大厂，黑科技层出不穷，我说的sony的黑科技是真的黑科技，有机会我做一期关于sony黑科技的文章，列举一下sony的黑科技和现在国内一些厂商的黑科技有什么不同，国内的黑科技是黑了科技，简直就是往科技脸上抹黑。正式因为sony公司当时名声在外，所以集团内部的人觉得去卖个游戏机，有辱sony的名声，我堂堂的大sony竟然要去卖游戏？他们担心sony的品牌会因此受损。几十年后的中国，也有一个人和sony公司一样，觉得做游戏是一件让公司丢脸的事情，毕竟游戏会让年轻人堕落。原话是这样说的：中国本来就是独生子女家庭，孩子们都玩游戏的话，国家将来怎么办？所以游戏我们一分钱都不投。人家投，我们鼓掌，但是我们不做，这是我们的一个原则。这么正义凛然的讲话，赢得了现场观众的一阵阵掌声，赢得了众多网友的交口称赞，这才是中国企业家的责任感。然后，掌声未落，他就投资了数十亿到家庭数字娱乐。首先，他没有食言，他确实没有投一分钱，而是投了数十亿。其次，他没有投资游戏，他把游戏改名字了，叫家庭数字娱乐。原来说饿死也不做游戏的意思是，只要饿不死就做游戏。sony也是这个德行，瞧不起做游戏的，到现在快30年了，当年信誓旦旦的sony公司，几乎只剩下游戏机部门还在盈利，sony做的收音机，电视机，随身听，都已经赔钱甚至卖掉了，不知道30年前那帮家伙如果知道30年后的情况，会有什么感想。所以啊，话不要说满，做人留一线，日后好见面。当时被委以重任的是一个叫久多良木健的年轻人，在大贺典雄的支持下，他说出了自己的观点：我们和任天堂已经闹翻了，在游戏机这个事情上，如果我们这次怂了，不是成功不成功的问题，这件事可以让别人嘲笑一辈子！在坐的所有反对者也沉默了，是啊，如果任天堂这么闹，你大sony还吃哑巴亏，整天像外交部一样煮熟的鸭子嘴硬，只会称为别人一辈子的笑柄。sony不会成为这样的笑柄。久多良木健是个技术天才，他不是只会念PPT的演讲大师，实际上，他在人际关系处理方面可以算是个大白痴，不仅容易和媒体搞的关系僵硬，而且对粉丝不理不睬，甚至和同事的关系，也是僵化的不行。但是，他牛就牛在，他自己能搞定技术。你说不行的东西，他懒得说服你，他直接做出来打你的脸。以前给任天堂的机器搞音频芯片时候是这样，现在轮到自己的机器了，他自然更是十二分的努力。PS的基础是久多良木健开发的一种商用图像处理系统，名字叫System G。这个系统本来是用在电视节目的制作上，给电视台处理视频用的，性能极其强悍。他直接拿过来做游戏机了，以至于Sony展示Playstation的时候，资深的游戏记者都说sony肯定作假了，以现在的技术根本不可能实现这么绚丽的效果。记者么，当然是读者喜欢看啥就写啥，所以，大部分记者其实没啥良知，当然，不止记者，绝大部分人类都没啥良知。然后，骂sony肯定是喜闻乐见的，当时sony是老大，竟然试图用做出来的效果糊弄我们，我们游戏记者西方哪个国家没去过，会被你sony蒙骗？然后口诛笔伐。问题是，久多良木健和媒体打交道的方面很欠缺，有一种有口难辩的感觉，只能木讷的说我TMD没说谎，我这都是有一说一，我擦，媒体一看，这索尼你搞啥啊，起码整个能说会道的，至少得是个说相声演员级别的当发言人吧，你这整个久多良木健出来，话都说不利索，完蛋了，sony要玩。我前面也说了，久多良木健的厉害之处就是只会实力打脸，语言方面不吹，他竟然煞有介事的给记者解释为啥他的playstation能跑的这么快，当然了，记者根本听不懂。最后，他只好拿出playstation的样机让记者随便玩玩看，这明显不是造假。然后记者一看，我去，这看起来木讷的傻根挺能啊，不是吹牛。这主要是当时市场上只有区区几款3D游戏，比如说南梦宫的《山脊赛车》和世嘉的《VR战士》，算是3D游戏界的明星产品，如果大家有兴趣，可以去敏感词搜搜看，以现在的眼光来看，刚刚达到目前国产3D游戏的水平吧，还是比较粗糙的。当时plastation也不是没有硬伤，硬伤就是2D性能不行，3D性能强悍。由于配备了专用的3D播放芯片，再加上sony本来就很牛逼的CD-ROM技术，游戏开始的片头动画直接把当时的记者震撼的不要不要的。媒体都是这样，记者本来就是个工作，骂你能赚钱拿稿费，他就骂你，夸你能赚钱拿稿费，他就夸你，反正不管是骂还是夸，只要有稿费拿就好。这次看了傻根的真机展示，开始夸了。开始夸这绝对是一款跨时代的硬件产品等等。所以，有时候大家一定要记住一件事，千万不要相信任何媒体，但是大家也不能太矫枉过正，要有选择的相信，做出自己的判断。比如说，当你看到某个媒体说现在是几月几日北京时间7点整，这个一般是不说谎的，然后听完这一句，才开始说谎。真真假假的，让你很难分辨出来。还有报纸也是这样，顶多看一下日期，其它的，可能都是记者瞎搞的，也不能说100%都是假的，起码98%是假的吧。PS拥有极其强大的硬件，并且外观设计的也算中规中矩，playstation的主机采用的是全球统一设计，主机的颜色采用的是灰色，不抢眼也不黯淡，虽说不能说是漂亮的不像实力派吧，但是，的确是个中庸的实力派。另外，这台playstation还在主机表面进行了磨砂的处理，这在当时的产品，尤其是sony公司里非常的罕见。其实这也得益于sony公司并不是太看好playstation的未来，因此组织了合资公司来生产销售playstaion这台游戏机，正因为这种爹不疼娘不爱的情况，playstation才能不受sony观念的束缚，以自由的想象力来对主机以及控制手柄做出了重新的定义。我们都知道，游戏机光有硬件是没用的，没有游戏的游戏机，硬件性能再牛逼，最终只能摆在家里看。正因为如此，所以sony的成功，其实是建立在不停的拉拢早就想造反的，已经被任天堂蹂躏的体无完肤的游戏厂商了。还有一个不得不提的重要因素是，索尼和索尼音乐娱乐共同出资建立的sony电脑娱乐，其中的大股东之一索尼音乐娱乐是做唱片的，这个索尼音乐娱乐在娱乐界是一个大腕，旗下一大群音乐家和作曲家，反正当时playstation也没有游戏支持，毕竟刚做出来的主机，还没有厂商开发游戏，于是这一块，直接使用的sony音乐娱乐的方式，和游戏工作室签约，而不是任天堂那种专制的模式，这个模式非常的宽松，就和音乐家一样，毕竟索尼音乐娱乐这方面做的非常的成功，以前做出游戏出来，大家并不知道这个游戏是谁做的，但是sony这个模式一推出，游戏玩家开始非常的认可这种模式。和我们听歌一样，很少注意哪家出版的这首歌，反而非常注意谁唱的这首歌，毕竟符合自己胃口的歌星不多，但是只要是这个歌星唱的歌，管它谁发行的呢?sony的这个模式也是这样，后来，玩家越来越注重哪个游戏制作人制作的游戏，哪个游戏工作室开发的游戏，自从playstation以后，出名的制作人和出名的音乐家一样，开始越来越个性化了，反而哪个厂商哪个发行商变得不是那么重要了。而且sony还举行游戏制作人选秀节目，从中出现了一大批出名的制作人，出名的游戏，比如一个大学生团队，也就是后来的shift公司，出品了处女座XI(sai)，一个解密游戏。还有一个随身模拟养成的游戏，随身玩伴多罗猫，都是在这个选秀活动中涌现出来的。再回过头来说说sony和任天堂共同开发的那台机器吧，他的名字也叫playstation。因为这台机器太过久远了，几乎所有人都已经遗忘了，也觉得不会再出现了，但是很神奇的事情总是会发生，敏感词上一个我非常喜欢的主播，名字叫Ben Heck。关于敏感词我再多说两句，敏感词是这个世界上最好的视频网站，这个不用怀疑，如果不管多小众的东西，在上面可以找到视频，比如我说的这个Ben Heck，还有几个Game Historian以及各种冷门的计算机的拆解视频，冷门编程语言的讲解视频，敏感词上全都有。而且做的非常非常的专业。别说是小众的内容，就是低俗的视频，敏感词上三俗的视频，底线绝对比国内的遮遮掩掩的低俗的多。所以呢，高雅的有，三俗的也有，非常推荐大家去看看敏感词，通过各种方法，发现一个神奇的世界，关于三俗的，我就不推荐了，毕竟，我一般也想装的高雅一点，还是留给有心人自己去发掘。只是友情提示一点，敏感词不同的国家，搜出来的视频是不同的，比如新加坡和日本不同，日本和美国不同，经过我仔细的比较，最三俗的国家是美国，最清真的国家是中国，直接不让上。比如说我讲的这些东西，比起敏感词的视频来，连个皮毛都算不上，我只能讲解三手的传闻，人家是拆解一手的硬件。好了，继续来谈这个任天堂和sony蜜月期创造出来，但是没有最终发布的plastation。想看视频的，非常推荐去敏感词搜索Ben Heck这个频道，这个主播，每一期都很好看。首先，这个主播搞到了一台sony和任天堂共同生产的playstation，然后发现，毕竟好几十年了，开发机，也没有什么游戏支持，就拆解了它。看看里面的芯片。然后他发现里面的很多硬件已经损坏了，毕竟30年的老古董了，也情有可原。然后，更厉害的是，他决定把这台机器修复起来。经过重新焊接电路板，修复光驱等一系列复杂的手续，那台机器竟然可以开机了，但是屏幕总是闪，还是不能用。这时候这个播主扎实的硬件直觉告诉他，应该是电容有问题。然后他开始查找电容和电源，在更换了电容以后，那台机器竟然可以启动起来了。可以播放CD，也可以使用任天堂的卡带玩游戏，甚至，声音听起来还不错。就这台机器，设计的也算中规中矩，乳白色的外壳，当年最强大的光驱，最新的声音芯片，支持任天堂最热门的游戏，如果当年sony和任天堂没有分手，这台机器会不会称为一代霸主呢？毕竟这台游戏机太强大了，sony的硬件加上任天堂的软件，简直可以说是打遍天下无敌手。但是，历史不容假设，时间也不会倒流，只有这个白色的盒子，诉说着当年那段恋情，那段sony和任天堂都不会再提起的恋情...
上一次提到，sony因为和任天堂分手了，才导致了playstation的问世，如果不分手，sony不见得一定要进入家用游戏机市场，但是，这个历史是不能假设的，如果能假设，我们也就都不会和初恋分手了。我们来看一下sony和任天堂分手以后，如何把他们曾经共同的孩子playstation独自拉扯大，并且正是playstation，把任天堂从家用游戏机的王座上拉下马来。在1991年6月的时候，任天堂和sony还没有分手，当时在芝加哥举办的CES国际消费电子展上，sony还发布了Playstation的原型机，这款原型机并没有真正的发布，就当我们以为这台原型机永远都不会面世的时候，国外网友竟然买到了这台神奇的原型机，当一会儿我再来说说这个原型机。另外一件我希望能再次面世的东西是红楼梦，希望后面的40回，曹雪芹写的那40回能再次露面。就在sony和任天堂共同发布这款机器以后，任天堂突然宣布单方面撕毁合约，据说，促使撕毁合约背后的关键人物是山内溥的女婿，当时美国任天堂的总裁荒川实。当时荒川实敏锐的发现了CD-ROM是未来的主流，一旦sony掌握了CD-ROM的生产，就相当于断了任天堂的后路。任天堂宣布和飞利浦公司合作生产CD-ROM，当然，最后飞利浦这个插足的第三者也是无疾而终，最终也没有合作出什么东西来。当然，也有另外一个传闻说，sony想通过sony音乐娱乐来进军游戏软件市场，这件事情让山内溥勃然大怒。不管怎么说了，任天堂和sony分手了。后者的传闻有一定的可信度，因为后来playstation就是sony和sony音乐娱乐共同推出的，并不是由sony公司推出的，sony和sony音乐娱乐每家公司出资一半，成立了一个新的合资公司，名字叫sony电脑娱乐(SCE)。从这一点可以推测出几点，第一，山内溥老爷子消息还是很灵通的，他获得的那个消息起码不是空穴来风。还有一点，我们也可以看出，sony总公司对playstation的成功并不抱太大的希望，否则也不会新成立一家公司来避嫌，当时，sony公司是世界上首屈一指的家电大厂，黑科技层出不穷，我说的sony的黑科技是真的黑科技，有机会我做一期关于sony黑科技的文章，列举一下sony的黑科技和现在国内一些厂商的黑科技有什么不同，国内的黑科技是黑了科技，简直就是往科技脸上抹黑。正式因为sony公司当时名声在外，所以集团内部的人觉得去卖个游戏机，有辱sony的名声，我堂堂的大sony竟然要去卖游戏？他们担心sony的品牌会因此受损。几十年后的中国，也有一个人和sony公司一样，觉得做游戏是一件让公司丢脸的事情，毕竟游戏会让年轻人堕落。原话是这样说的：中国本来就是独生子女家庭，孩子们都玩游戏的话，国家将来怎么办？所以游戏我们一分钱都不投。人家投，我们鼓掌，但是我们不做，这是我们的一个原则。这么正义凛然的讲话，赢得了现场观众的一阵阵掌声，赢得了众多网友的交口称赞，这才是中国企业家的责任感。然后，掌声未落，他就投资了数十亿到家庭数字娱乐。首先，他没有食言，他确实没有投一分钱，而是投了数十亿。其次，他没有投资游戏，他把游戏改名字了，叫家庭数字娱乐。原来说饿死也不做游戏的意思是，只要饿不死就做游戏。sony也是这个德行，瞧不起做游戏的，到现在快30年了，当年信誓旦旦的sony公司，几乎只剩下游戏机部门还在盈利，sony做的收音机，电视机，随身听，都已经赔钱甚至卖掉了，不知道30年前那帮家伙如果知道30年后的情况，会有什么感想。所以啊，话不要说满，做人留一线，日后好见面。当时被委以重任的是一个叫久多良木健的年轻人，在大贺典雄的支持下，他说出了自己的观点：我们和任天堂已经闹翻了，在游戏机这个事情上，如果我们这次怂了，不是成功不成功的问题，这件事可以让别人嘲笑一辈子！在坐的所有反对者也沉默了，是啊，如果任天堂这么闹，你大sony还吃哑巴亏，整天像外交部一样煮熟的鸭子嘴硬，只会称为别人一辈子的笑柄。sony不会成为这样的笑柄。久多良木健是个技术天才，他不是只会念PPT的演讲大师，实际上，他在人际关系处理方面可以算是个大白痴，不仅容易和媒体搞的关系僵硬，而且对粉丝不理不睬，甚至和同事的关系，也是僵化的不行。但是，他牛就牛在，他自己能搞定技术。你说不行的东西，他懒得说服你，他直接做出来打你的脸。以前给任天堂的机器搞音频芯片时候是这样，现在轮到自己的机器了，他自然更是十二分的努力。PS的基础是久多良木健开发的一种商用图像处理系统，名字叫System G。这个系统本来是用在电视节目的制作上，给电视台处理视频用的，性能极其强悍。他直接拿过来做游戏机了，以至于Sony展示Playstation的时候，资深的游戏记者都说sony肯定作假了，以现在的技术根本不可能实现这么绚丽的效果。记者么，当然是读者喜欢看啥就写啥，所以，大部分记者其实没啥良知，当然，不止记者，绝大部分人类都没啥良知。然后，骂sony肯定是喜闻乐见的，当时sony是老大，竟然试图用做出来的效果糊弄我们，我们游戏记者西方哪个国家没去过，会被你sony蒙骗？然后口诛笔伐。问题是，久多良木健和媒体打交道的方面很欠缺，有一种有口难辩的感觉，只能木讷的说我TMD没说谎，我这都是有一说一，我擦，媒体一看，这索尼你搞啥啊，起码整个能说会道的，至少得是个说相声演员级别的当发言人吧，你这整个久多良木健出来，话都说不利索，完蛋了，sony要玩。我前面也说了，久多良木健的厉害之处就是只会实力打脸，语言方面不吹，他竟然煞有介事的给记者解释为啥他的playstation能跑的这么快，当然了，记者根本听不懂。最后，他只好拿出playstation的样机让记者随便玩玩看，这明显不是造假。然后记者一看，我去，这看起来木讷的傻根挺能啊，不是吹牛。这主要是当时市场上只有区区几款3D游戏，比如说南梦宫的《山脊赛车》和世嘉的《VR战士》，算是3D游戏界的明星产品，如果大家有兴趣，可以去敏感词搜搜看，以现在的眼光来看，刚刚达到目前国产3D游戏的水平吧，还是比较粗糙的。当时plastation也不是没有硬伤，硬伤就是2D性能不行，3D性能强悍。由于配备了专用的3D播放芯片，再加上sony本来就很牛逼的CD-ROM技术，游戏开始的片头动画直接把当时的记者震撼的不要不要的。媒体都是这样，记者本来就是个工作，骂你能赚钱拿稿费，他就骂你，夸你能赚钱拿稿费，他就夸你，反正不管是骂还是夸，只要有稿费拿就好。这次看了傻根的真机展示，开始夸了。开始夸这绝对是一款跨时代的硬件产品等等。所以，有时候大家一定要记住一件事，千万不要相信任何媒体，但是大家也不能太矫枉过正，要有选择的相信，做出自己的判断。比如说，当你看到某个媒体说现在是几月几日北京时间7点整，这个一般是不说谎的，然后听完这一句，才开始说谎。真真假假的，让你很难分辨出来。还有报纸也是这样，顶多看一下日期，其它的，可能都是记者瞎搞的，也不能说100%都是假的，起码98%是假的吧。PS拥有极其强大的硬件，并且外观设计的也算中规中矩，playstation的主机采用的是全球统一设计，主机的颜色采用的是灰色，不抢眼也不黯淡，虽说不能说是漂亮的不像实力派吧，但是，的确是个中庸的实力派。另外，这台playstation还在主机表面进行了磨砂的处理，这在当时的产品，尤其是sony公司里非常的罕见。其实这也得益于sony公司并不是太看好playstation的未来，因此组织了合资公司来生产销售playstaion这台游戏机，正因为这种爹不疼娘不爱的情况，playstation才能不受sony观念的束缚，以自由的想象力来对主机以及控制手柄做出了重新的定义。我们都知道，游戏机光有硬件是没用的，没有游戏的游戏机，硬件性能再牛逼，最终只能摆在家里看。正因为如此，所以sony的成功，其实是建立在不停的拉拢早就想造反的，已经被任天堂蹂躏的体无完肤的游戏厂商了。还有一个不得不提的重要因素是，索尼和索尼音乐娱乐共同出资建立的sony电脑娱乐，其中的大股东之一索尼音乐娱乐是做唱片的，这个索尼音乐娱乐在娱乐界是一个大腕，旗下一大群音乐家和作曲家，反正当时playstation也没有游戏支持，毕竟刚做出来的主机，还没有厂商开发游戏，于是这一块，直接使用的sony音乐娱乐的方式，和游戏工作室签约，而不是任天堂那种专制的模式，这个模式非常的宽松，就和音乐家一样，毕竟索尼音乐娱乐这方面做的非常的成功，以前做出游戏出来，大家并不知道这个游戏是谁做的，但是sony这个模式一推出，游戏玩家开始非常的认可这种模式。和我们听歌一样，很少注意哪家出版的这首歌，反而非常注意谁唱的这首歌，毕竟符合自己胃口的歌星不多，但是只要是这个歌星唱的歌，管它谁发行的呢?sony的这个模式也是这样，后来，玩家越来越注重哪个游戏制作人制作的游戏，哪个游戏工作室开发的游戏，自从playstation以后，出名的制作人和出名的音乐家一样，开始越来越个性化了，反而哪个厂商哪个发行商变得不是那么重要了。而且sony还举行游戏制作人选秀节目，从中出现了一大批出名的制作人，出名的游戏，比如一个大学生团队，也就是后来的shift公司，出品了处女座XI(sai)，一个解密游戏。还有一个随身模拟养成的游戏，随身玩伴多罗猫，都是在这个选秀活动中涌现出来的。再回过头来说说sony和任天堂共同开发的那台机器吧，他的名字也叫playstation。因为这台机器太过久远了，几乎所有人都已经遗忘了，也觉得不会再出现了，但是很神奇的事情总是会发生，敏感词上一个我非常喜欢的主播，名字叫Ben Heck。关于敏感词我再多说两句，敏感词是这个世界上最好的视频网站，这个不用怀疑，如果不管多小众的东西，在上面可以找到视频，比如我说的这个Ben Heck，还有几个Game Historian以及各种冷门的计算机的拆解视频，冷门编程语言的讲解视频，敏感词上全都有。而且做的非常非常的专业。别说是小众的内容，就是低俗的视频，敏感词上三俗的视频，底线绝对比国内的遮遮掩掩的低俗的多。所以呢，高雅的有，三俗的也有，非常推荐大家去看看敏感词，通过各种方法，发现一个神奇的世界，关于三俗的，我就不推荐了，毕竟，我一般也想装的高雅一点，还是留给有心人自己去发掘。只是友情提示一点，敏感词不同的国家，搜出来的视频是不同的，比如新加坡和日本不同，日本和美国不同，经过我仔细的比较，最三俗的国家是美国，最清真的国家是中国，直接不让上。比如说我讲的这些东西，比起敏感词的视频来，连个皮毛都算不上，我只能讲解三手的传闻，人家是拆解一手的硬件。好了，继续来谈这个任天堂和sony蜜月期创造出来，但是没有最终发布的plastation。想看视频的，非常推荐去敏感词搜索Ben Heck这个频道，这个主播，每一期都很好看。首先，这个主播搞到了一台sony和任天堂共同生产的playstation，然后发现，毕竟好几十年了，开发机，也没有什么游戏支持，就拆解了它。看看里面的芯片。然后他发现里面的很多硬件已经损坏了，毕竟30年的老古董了，也情有可原。然后，更厉害的是，他决定把这台机器修复起来。经过重新焊接电路板，修复光驱等一系列复杂的手续，那台机器竟然可以开机了，但是屏幕总是闪，还是不能用。这时候这个播主扎实的硬件直觉告诉他，应该是电容有问题。然后他开始查找电容和电源，在更换了电容以后，那台机器竟然可以启动起来了。可以播放CD，也可以使用任天堂的卡带玩游戏，甚至，声音听起来还不错。就这台机器，设计的也算中规中矩，乳白色的外壳，当年最强大的光驱，最新的声音芯片，支持任天堂最热门的游戏，如果当年sony和任天堂没有分手，这台机器会不会称为一代霸主呢？毕竟这台游戏机太强大了，sony的硬件加上任天堂的软件，简直可以说是打遍天下无敌手。但是，历史不容假设，时间也不会倒流，只有这个白色的盒子，诉说着当年那段恋情，那段sony和任天堂都不会再提起的恋情...

Main Topic: The OSI Challenger series of computers At this point in the podcast run, we are still in the late 1970’s time frame, and the OSI machines fall into that time frame for their release. No vintage computer historical journey would be complete without including these very important machines. As usual, we’ll cover the history, technical specs, peripherals, Web sites, books, emulation and much, much more. I am joined by special guest host Terry Stewart of the Classic Computers website who will help me cover these machines. In addition, we are joined by OSI aficionados Mark Csele and David Fenyes who share their first-hand memories of the OSI.
