The Speedy History Of Video Games: Part 4
Well, so far it seems the video game controversy is starting to boil over the pot. What will happen next?
1994- Because of the previous year's court battle, the ESRB was started to inform parents of the violent nature of some games. That system is still used today.
1995- Sega's Saturn console was too expensive and did not sell well, and that really helped the rise of Sony's Playstation (and ego). The Playstation sold 2 million machines this year.
1996- Considered one of the first 64 bit consoles, the Nintendo 64 had many exciting games on it's launch.
1999- Sega's last stand, the Dreamcast was released. It was groundbreaking with it's online capabilities and such, but did not do all that well.
2000- The Playstation 2 (wow, look at the egos!) is released. It is a 128-bit system, that has better graphics capabilities than a computer and is the first console to use DVD technology.
2001- Grand Theft Auto 3 is released and is just as controversial as it was popular.
2002- The U.S. army produces a online action game used to recruit people to the army. The game cost 6 million to make, and is available for free.
We will stop there, as I hope you will remember the next 8 or 9 years. For the grand finale, I will show you a youtube video a fellow blogger made that will wrap it all up in a nice little bow.

Get the Darn Lamp!
Have you guys ever heard of text adventures? (Sometimes they are refered to the formal name, Interactive Fiction.) Somehow, these very old computer games still capture you and pull you in like Pong never could. If you have not, read this wikipedia article or play a few. Hint: If you look closely in Call Of Duty: Black Ops, you might find a text adventure to play...

Below is a trailer for a very recent documentary on Interactive Fiction, called "Get Lamp". The full movie is available for purchase.
Next week I will help you make them.

The Last Star Wars Galaxies Memorial
I thought since I used to play Sony's Star Wars Galaxies and the The Old Republic MMO is on it's way, I'll give you a link to a little video. Sad. Very sad. I also think you should read the comments or go to their website in you want more info.
