The History of Video Games in two minutes

]]> I’m currently watching a video on the history of video games by YouTube user applemctom, and my wife, Joyce, keeps asking me why I know majority of the games featured in the video. I guess my video games addiction is finally showing, eh? To test my mettle, I tried to list down in order all the games shown in the two-minute footage. Unfortunately, I didn’t get them all. Before I show my list (rather, before you take a look at it), watch the video and try listing down in order all the games that you see. Let’s compare notes later.

Well, here’s my list:

Pong, Space Invaders, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, Pac-Man, Frogger, Donkey Kong, Super Mario Brothers, Leisure Suite Larry, Afterburner, Double Dragon, Prince of Persia, Tetris, Secret of Monkey Island, Sonic the Hedgehog, Castle Wolfenstein, Super Mario Kart, Street Fighter II, Mortal Kombat, Minesweeper, Myst, Rayman, Command & Conquer, Tekken, Tomb Raider, The Sims, Grand Theft Auto, and Total War.

Darn, I think I have to brush up on my video games history and literature again.

GP2X: Homebrew heaven!

]]>

James over at Retro Thing has written an interesting piece about the $179 wonder handheld from Korea; Gamepark’s GP2X.

We’ve all heard some good (and bad) things about this little machine, and we’ve all heard about efforts to make homebrew gaming possible on said device, but while my back was turned the homebrew scene on the GP2X has gone stupid crazy.

As listed in James’s article, the following systems now have emulators on Gamepark’s machine:

  • SNES
  • Mega Drive
  • MAME
  • Commodore 64
  • Atari ST

All in all it appears to be shaping up to be a very worthy competitor for the homebrew enthusiast’s platform of choice… It’s fun pwning the PSP and all, but if you just want to play games then Gamepark’s Linux based handheld may be the system you’ve been waiting for…

Read James’s article, or find out more about the GP2X at Lik-Sang or the official GP2X website.
