The year was 1985, Freddy Mercury was bringing down the house at Wembley, Rocky Balboa won the Cold War by defeating Ivan Drago, and the Nintendo Entertainment System was release in the United States. It took the country by storm on the overall clad back of an Italian plumber named Mario. Nintendo ruled the home video game market until 1989 when a new player joined the game. The Sega Genesis' step onto the scene wasn't a home run right away. Sega decided to bring in a legend of the toy industry, a man named Tom Kalinske. This guy had his hands all over your childhood (not in the bad way) . Flintstone Vitamins? He created them. Barbie? He's the reason she's around today. Matchbox Cars? Who amongst us hasn't smashed one with a hammer when they no longer rolled properly. Tom and his team decided the only way to fight Nintendo's death grip on the market was to appeal to an older more mature and rebellious audience, teenagers. Sega became MTV to Nintendo's Disney Channel. Their battle took place in the stores, at the conventions, and on your TV. It had everything, corporate sabotage, defection to the competition, Joey Lawrence, Japanese rent-by-the-hour hotels, and a Hedgehog with attitude who's still doing his thing today. Get ready for the nostalgia fueled ride that is The Console Wars: Round 1.Support the show

What may seem like a novelty video game accessory from the 1980s actually has a much deeper backstory. The Nintendo Power Glove, a game controller you wore on your arm, came out in 1989, but its roots go back to the 1970s. Before it was the "baddest" accessory around, the Power Glove started out as the Data Glove, a high-end instrument used by scientists, MIT, and even NASA. What began as a $10,000 instrument for a new world called "Virtual Reality" eventually entered the consumer market. Did the data glove have more novel applications? Could this unique device even become a toy...? But to make it a toy, a redesign and a MUCH lower price point were both critical, and that meant a lot of compromises in both materials and functionality. Even though the Power Glove was launched with a huge boom, did the at-home gaming experience live up to the hype...?  War Games movie review: Patreon.com/80s

Show Notes "When you program for the NES you deeply need to understand the hardware, right. And that's not a thing; like as a .NET developer you don't really know what a register is, or like or a bus, or like NES has a thing called a PPU"— Jonathan Peppers Welcome friends to The Modern .NET Show; the premier .NET podcast, focusing entirely on the knowledge, tools, and frameworks that all .NET developers should have in their toolbox. We are the go-to podcast for .NET developers worldwide, and I am your host: Jamie "GaProgMan" Taylor. In this episode, Jonathan Peppers joins us to talk about something which is a little out of the ordinary for us here: programming the Nintendo Entertainment System but in C#. We talk about the process behind his (some would say absurd) idea for an AOT transpiler which can convert a subset of C# over to the Assembler required to write and publish a NES game. "So you think about that example, what I described there on the NES side is actually very similar to what's on the IL side, is that in IL, you have a string, right? It goes and looks up in a string table, the contents of the string, and puts it on a stack, and then it calls vram_write, and then it's the runtimes job to actually like make that happen at runtime; or in the case of an AOT compiler it would emit, you know, native machine code that does the same thing."— Jonathan Peppers Along the way, we talk about that Ahead-of-Time compilation is, have a brief intro to what IL is (that's what your C# code is compiled to before running it), and how all of that fits in with .NES—the wonderful name for Jon's AOT NES compiler. Anyway, without further ado, let's sit back, open up a terminal, type in `dotnet new podcast` and we'll dive into the core of Modern .NET.

In this installment of Pixelated Audio, we're taking a stroll through the soundtrack of Blades of Steel. Originally, Konami released this fact-action hockey game in the arcades in 1987 but it really gained popularity a year later when it was converted to the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1988.

Send us a textThe return of Me v. AI Top 5. Some of the cutting-edge technology from the 1960s. Fun times playing Vegas Dream for the NES.Episode 179 packs so much nostalgia that it might end up spilling over the sides.  It begins with a trip back over half a century. Long before smartphones, 8K televisions, and 3D printing technology was far different. We take a look back to the 1960s to some of the technology that was cutting edge at the time. You might be surprised at what was on the world's radar back then.Vegas Dream for the Nintendo Entertainment System might not have been a runaway hit but it was a lot of kids introduction into the glitzy world of casinos. For me, the game reminds me of my Nana. For the rest of you, it might be a mash-up of high rollers, robbers, and falling chandeliers? It is the return of Me v. AI Top 5. I battle it out with ChatGPT over the best 1990s television show themes. For the first time, there is an actual AI superstar to read out ChatGPT's answers, although not the one I intended.

fWotD Episode 2754: Donkey Kong Country Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Monday, 18 November 2024 is Donkey Kong Country.Donkey Kong Country is a 1994 platform game developed by Rare and published by Nintendo for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES). It is a reboot of Nintendo's Donkey Kong franchise and follows the gorilla Donkey Kong and his nephew Diddy Kong as they set out to recover their stolen banana hoard from the crocodile King K. Rool and his army, the Kremlings. The single-player traverses 40 side-scrolling levels as they jump between platforms and avoid obstacles. They collect items, ride minecarts and animals, defeat enemies and bosses, and find secret bonus stages. In multiplayer modes, two players work cooperatively or race each other.After developing Nintendo Entertainment System games in the 1980s, Rare, a British studio founded by Tim and Chris Stamper, purchased Silicon Graphics workstations to render 3D models. Nintendo sought a game to compete with Sega's Aladdin (1993) and commissioned Rare to revive the dormant Donkey Kong franchise. Rare assembled 12 developers to work on Donkey Kong Country over 18 months. Donkey Kong Country was inspired by the Super Mario series and was one of the first home console games to feature pre-rendered graphics, achieved through a compression technique that converted 3D models into SNES sprites with little loss of detail. It was the first Donkey Kong game neither produced nor directed by the franchise's creator Shigeru Miyamoto, though he contributed design ideas.Following its announcement at the Consumer Electronics Show in June 1994, Donkey Kong Country was highly anticipated and backed by a major marketing campaign that cost $16 million in America alone. It was released in November 1994 to acclaim; critics hailed its visuals as groundbreaking and praised its gameplay and music. Its quality and design were favourably compared to the Super Mario series. Donkey Kong Country received several year-end accolades and set the record for the fastest-selling video game at the time. With 9.3 million copies sold worldwide, it is the third-bestselling SNES game and the bestselling Donkey Kong game. Following the success, Nintendo purchased a large minority stake in Rare, which became a prominent second-party developer for Nintendo during the late 1990s.Donkey Kong Country re-established Donkey Kong as a popular Nintendo franchise and helped maintain the SNES's popularity into the fifth generation of video game consoles. It is considered one of the greatest video games of all time and has been ported to platforms such as the Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, and digital distribution services. Rare followed it with two sequels for the SNES, Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest (1995) and Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! (1996), and the Nintendo 64 game Donkey Kong 64 (1999). After a hiatus, during which Rare was acquired by the Nintendo competitor Microsoft, Retro Studios revived the series with Donkey Kong Country Returns (2010) for the Wii and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (2014) for the Wii U.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:30 UTC on Monday, 18 November 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Donkey Kong Country on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Stephen.

Tonight we are reflecting on Dragon Spirit: The New Legend, a 1989 arcade port of the 1987 vertical shooter Dragon Spirit by Namco.

Noid and entries 2 & 3 of the Adventure Island series.

Hearts break in the greatest romance/drama video game of all time. We're of course, playing the video game Titenic (spelled correctly). Titenic is a beat 'em up for the Nintendo Entertainment System based on the 1997 film Titanic and developed by Hummer Technologies. The first documented release of it online was on the 2005 multicart Super New Year Cart 15-in-1. Press Any Button hosts Nicky (a new gamer) and Eric (a lifetime gamer) are a married couple who both love video games. For every video game they will discuss its past (history of the game, developers story, and fun facts), present (game play, game review and strategy), and future (will there be a sequel?? A movie?)  BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE… Every game also comes with a challenge presented by the host that chose the game. If the challenge is not completed then whoever failed has to do a video game rap! So if you want to learn more about video games, hear some nerdy video game raps, or just have a good time this is the podcast for you. We try to cover all types of video games including: Retro and New video games Playstation, Nintendo, Xbox, Sega, and PC games Any and all genres including RPG, Simulation, Beat em up, platforming, mystery, first person shooter, sandbox, puzzle, action adventure, etc. Follow us on  Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/pressanybutton_podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Credits: Nicky Smith Eric Luedtke Music by Mark Spurlock and Eric Luedtke References: https://bootleggames.fandom.com/wiki/Titenic https://bootleggames.fandom.com/wiki/Hummer_Team https://bootleggames.fandom.com/wiki/BootlegGames_Wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_Entertainment_System https://romchip.org/index.php/romchip-journal/article/view/143 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hummer_Team https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titanic:_Adventure_Out_of_Time

Data East was responsible for porting popular arcade games to the NES like Burgertime, Karate Champ and Rampage.  Data East seemed to be hell-bent on making circus strongman Jinborov Karnovski, aka “Karnov”, a sort of company mascot by inserting him into other Data East games such as Bad Dudes, where he is the level one boss.  Tonight our visiting Deacon is Cornellius Jefferson III.  The miNEStry founders, Archbishop Dracul and Father Avram, seek to inspire their 8-bit parishioners through methodical and ceremonial scrutiny of the library of games on the Nintendo Entertainment System.

A remix from the first episode of the podcast?Episode 161 looks ahead toward the fall while looking back with a heavy dose of nostalgia.It kicks off with a movie widely considered to be one of the worst of the 1980s.

We'll get into that plus the story of how my grandmother and I walked out of the theater during the film. It's a double-dip of Back In the Day as we not only take a look back at the beginnings of the Nintendo Entertainment System but also back to Episode 1 of the podcast as the NES was a part of the very first show.

Welcome to Super Crash Bros! This season takes a look at our favorite Nintendo franchises before culminating in the ultimate discussion of the ultimate fighting game, Super Smash Bros! In this inaugural episode, Jon and Dan kick off the season by getting sucked into a parallel dimension ruled by evolved dinosaurs turned into humans….I mean get sucked into a warp pipe and discuss everyone's favorite Italian plumber created by the Japanese, Mario! Mario is well known today since getting his big start in 1985's Super Mario Bros, released for the Nintendo Entertainment System. But back then, he was just known as Jumpman, the biggest pain in Donkey Kong's ass in the game Donkey Kong. The game was Nintendo's first big hit. Honestly, Mario's kind of a dick in this one. Just let the dude live life, you know? Anyway, Dan and Jon discuss the character's origins (including the wild reason behind his name), the series' enduring legacy and why people keep coming back to it time and time again. The Super Duo also discusses the numerous spin offs Mario and friends received (shoutout to the RPG side of things), his reach beyond video games (theme parks, films, television, cereal, etc)., and what's the perfect game to get into the series. Plus, Dan talks about why he believes in AMAB (All Marios Are Bastards) and how Mario's a huge boot licker to royalty. Super Mario Bros? More like Super Bowser Bros amirite!

 Tonight we are reflecting on Kung-Fu, a 1985 arcade port of Irem's arcade hit Kung Fu Master and a launch title for the NES. Irem was the only third-party company to take part in the release of the NES with Kung Fu and 10-Yard Fight. Nintendo's R&D 4 team ported Kung Fu and then went on to create Super Mario Bros. Tonight our guest is, once again, Jeff Gabor.The miNEStry founders, Archbishop Dracul and Father Avram, seek to inspire their 8-bit parishioners through methodical and ceremonial scrutiny of the library of games on the Nintendo Entertainment System.

Step into a Dimensional Slip: intermittent interludes in “MOTHER,” She Wrote's journey - where we speak with guests from a multitude of backgrounds and delve deeper into the themes, media, and fandom that make up the tapestry of the EarthBound experience. The memorable melodies of MOTHER are more than just background music - they're an essential part of the series' storytelling! We've often talked about the duo responsible for the score: art rock musician Keiichi Suzuki and "Hip" Tanaka, and you've just as often heard us wonder “how did they do this?” It seems like they pushed the Nintendo Entertainment System's hardware to the limit! So, to get deeper insight into how the music of MOTHER was made, we've turned to legendary chiptunes artist, PixelH8. PixelH8's expertise on the musical mechanics of the 8-bit era is second only to the Nintendo engineers who built the system and in this episode you'll hear him give us a hands-on demonstration of how sounds on the NES work, as well as astute assessments of the technical and narrative power of the game's score. We'll also learn more about the various eras of chiptune music, PixelH8's work reclaiming computer chips from dying consoles to build new instruments, and excitingly, his return to the music scene after a twelve year silence, with his new record, Hard Reset.

These tunes were born in an age of 8 bits, and 5 lo-fi channels of audio. But those limitations forced composer Koji Kondo to make them as distilled and powerful as possible.
