I remember Hugo being played on TV (read: on the national TV broadcast) by kids calling a special contest number in the morning. They would push 4 and 6 on their phone and Hugo would move left or right, 2 for down 8 for up etc. Your success was largely based on how close to the TV-station you lived, the lag for anyone living anywhere else in the country was insane.

Argonaut software developed Race Drivin' for the Gameboy, which impressed Nintendo so much they asked them to develop what would become Starfox (Starwing). Argonaut also designed the Super FX chip to go with it from scratch, Also the Super FX chip was originally called the "Mario chip", it's also printed on every early chip.

IIRC that was originally meant for the SNES as their answer to Virtua Fighter, hence the "FX" in the title, but that version was scrapped. I get the impression the the Super FX 2 they were using by then probably wasn't powerful enough to do it justice.

Ah,, my first strong memory as a 5 year old child. The year was 1994, and I received a Gameboy and Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. About a year later, I was playing the game again in my room, and got to the 3 little pigs boss in Mario Zone. I kept dying over and over, and out of frustration I banged the Gameboy against my head which cracked the screen. That was the saddest day of my life. To avoid getting in trouble, I hid it under some filing papers in the computer desk in our bonus room. My mother didn't ask me about it for a good 6 months, and while she was disappointed with me for hiding it, she bought me the recently released Gameboy Pocket.

As a kid I had a game called Robopon, which was a ripoff of pokemon with robots. But the unusual thing was it had an IR sensor which you could us a remote control for your TV to send items and stuff to the game, its really unique and strange, you didnt have that to show so I thought I'd mention it.
@OdaSwifteye
@OdaSwifteye 10 жыл бұрын
I'm glad you mentioned that. I actually found Robopon a lot of fun and played the sequel as well which ended up being a let down because the remote/clock gimmick was axed and it changes the gameplay mechanics rather than improve them. I liked a lot of games that I considered to be "Pokemon ripoffs." Like the various digimon games, The Dragon Warrior Monster Tamer series, Azure Dream's (which was really a rougelike but that term didn't exist among 9 year olds in the late 90s), and who can forget......wait. What game am I thinking of again? Animorphs had a game and it was a pokemon knockoff. I'll just let you imagine what the gameplay was like.

Was a bit let down by the Dragon Quest monsters joke but that was quite a few years later.

I spent a whole winter (well maybe 3-4 days during a terrible snowstorm) jammed under a lamp on a stand, curled up to one side of a rocker armchair playing Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening from beginning to end. On the last day I had to go to a magazine shop to get a gaming magazine that told the pattern to get through the final maze, because I had been wandering aimlessly through it for hours and I was losing my mind. The snow drifts were so high we couldn't get our front (and only) door open, so we had to open a window and slide out. I have such a fond memory of that time and any time I hear the music from the game it instantly takes me back to 1993.

Did eventually move up to the Game Boy Colour which I loved. Sadly I broke my original one (dropped something heavy on my bed not realising the poor thing was under the covers and cracked the screen), one day I was given another one by a friend who didn't want his old one but it had no battery cover and was a bit beat up.

Just saying the PSP did stand a chance. In fact the PSP is the only handheld in history that shared a decent portion of the market with Nintendo's handhelds by selling nearly 80 million units. Also the PSP is by far my favorite handheld because of the hack ability. Do not get me wrong.. I understand that Nintendo dominates the handheld market but saying PSP did not stand a chance is so utterly incorrect.

"Dead lines" on a Game Boy screen can actually be easily repaired - heat has to be applied to the ribbon cable that connects the LCD to the motherboard, which thereby reseats the individual connections and allows them to regain proper contact (thus making the dead lines go away). The only point of caution is that the contacts sit beneath a rubber/foam (can't remember) strip, which you have to carefully lift without damaging the ribbon cable further.

Still waiting for Atari Lynx Extravaganza. I was interested in Lynx in 90s because of fantastic arcade ports but never got it, my first portable was Game Gear, I have 3 Game Gears in total, and completed from theyr wrecks one final Game Gear which I have today. Shit, blurry screen and appaling battery life but unique, never-seen-again games. I like consoles with landscape orientation, GameBoy was too narrow for me, until GBA, so Game Gear and than PSP and Vita were my choices. I actually love PSP so much that I had model 1000, 2000, 3000 and Go, all at the same time, Vita never deserved so much passion, Sony just didn't nailed it like with PSP.

4:28 has one thing that Ashens forgot, Sony also ripped off Nintendo with the PSX. Yes yes yes, I know Sony was paid by Nintendo to engineer a CD rom drive add on for the SNES/Super Famicom that got canned - but it is very obvious that the PlayStation was taken from them being hired by Nintendo to help build the Cd rom, the fact that the project was titled 'Play Station' also is a dead giveaway then a year or so later Sony release the PlayStation (minus the space and the Nintendo logo on it.) Then a year later Nintendo bring out the N64 (which was the first video game console to have a 360* analogue controller stick and to not be pixellated graphics. 6 months after that Sony copied that and made a dual analogue stick controller - before that they only had the traditional D-pad. lol I own a 1st gen PSX (yellow white and red plugs on the back not a 'sony' plug), a PSone and a PS2 fatboy silver. Not a sony hater troll just stating facts and my opinion. :)

You really need to research a bit more, Nintendo hired SCE to make the CD addon for the SNES but Nintendo broke the deal without warning and decided to work with Philips to make the CD addon. Needless to say SCE was very displeased so It was decided to continue with the CD addon but it would be made into it's own stand alone system. Philips also never ended up making a CD addon BTW, They Made the CDI while SCE made the PS1. Oh and PSX is a PS2/DVR that was only released in Japan. And yes I know It was also the PS1's proto name but if we keep calling it that then why not call the rest of the systems by there proto names :/

And Nintendo ripped off Atari for the idea of making a gaming console to begin with. It's just how it works. Ideas are rarely completely original, and are usually a copy of some sort, as it makes it easier than developing a complete and full-fledged original product. Plus if you take something that works or has worked and was successful, like the Atari 2600 (before the crash), and just build on that, it's much easier to do what a company exists for: to make money. Yes, all company's really only care about money: Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft (for the XBox), Sega, etc. Games and gaming systems are only a means to get that money and hopefully make a shit load of it. That's why I'm not a 'fanboy' of any company; I think it's stupid and childish. None of these company's would give you 5 bucks if you were starving and asked them. They only give a shit about making money for themselves. Do they care about making good games? Of course...so they can sell more of them and make more money! Are we catching on to a theme yet? I've always just bought the console that has the games I want, and have always been that way, then laugh at the fanboy wars--the curious and immature thing that it is.

Graphical updates (depending mostly on handheld you're playing on) and the amount of guys to catch and activities to do with said guys. Story however hasn't evolved much since the original. Not too bad though since I wager most people don't play them for the story. (I mean I don't...)

So, originally the idea was that people could buy the game and collect the monsters, and they decided to do two versions of the same game, but make certain monsters version exclusive. This prompted you to trade with your friends to "Catch 'em all" With each iteration of the franchise I, as a fan, will admit that the core game play is exactly the same as it was when I put my copy of Red into my original Game Boy the first time. They do make minor tweaks with each release though, such as new mechanics, story lines, enhanced competitive battling system and of course, new monsters. I'm pretty sure there are so many because with each new game they get new players, so when they continue to sell like they do, why would they stop. Also, there are SOOOOO many spin offs and merchandising opportunities, its essentially like having a money cow that is ripe for the milking! And there you have your answer =)

They are the same concept, but revise mechanics, story, as well as characters. Fundamentally it is a turn-based Japanese RPG, and each iteration makes minor tweaks to the combat mechanics, adds new moves/abilities, etc. As others have said, each new generation adds a bunch more pokemon as well; the first two games had 151; the second generation had 250 or so, etc. Overall the reason they keep making so many is the same reason they make Mario games; most Mario games are very similar to one another, but they are a pretty sure sell.

I was given a gameboy when I was just 6 years old (1996). :) I dragged it with me everywhere. Heck, I think I never saw a day of elementary school when this thing wasn't in my schoolbag. Shit got real when my brother and I pooled our pocket money and bought the link cable. No-one else in our school had one, so we used ours to test out all kinds of games' two-player features. I still keep our gameboys and games in a drawer somewhere. Never getting rid of those I think. They're too precious to me.
