Book excerpt: For fifteen seconds of one of the highest-grossing films of all time, The Avengersa (TM) plan to save the world comes to a grinding halt when Tony Stark calls out a low-level member of S.H.I.E.L.D. for playing Galaga on the job. Acclaimed novelist and lifelong Galaga player Michael Kimball knows the compulsion: Hea (TM)s set and re-set high scores on Galaga machines all across America. What many call the greatest fixed shooter arcade game in history, Galaga broke the Space Invaders mold with superior graphics, faster firing, bonus rounds, tractor beams, and advanced enemy A.I. Since its 1981 release, Galaga has inspired numerous sequels, bootlegs, hacks, and clonesa "and some version of Galaga has been released for nearly every gaming platform. Kimball shares his obsession with Galaga through a discussion of the innovative gameplay it introduced (including lots of tips), its extensive cultural legacy (including collectibles, movies, rap songs, drinking games, and sex acts), and how Galaga got Kimball through a difficult childhood--and maybe saved his life.

Book excerpt: Welcome to 1984 and the town of South Wakefield. Chris Lane is 14 and he's sure that he can see the future, or at least guess what's inside of Christie Brinkley's mind. But he can't foresee the closing of Joyland, the town’s only video arcade. With the arcade’s passing comes a summer of teenage lust, violence, and a search for new entertainment. Never far away is Chris’s younger sister, Tammy, who plays spy to the events that will change the lives of her family and town forever. Joyland is a novel about the impossibility of knowing the future. Schultz bring the Cold War home in a novel set to the digital pulse of video games and the echoes of hair metal. Joyland is illustrated throughout by graphic novelist Nate Powell, whose work has been praised by Sin City creator Frank Miller as “observant, intimate cartooning [that] surgically cuts to the bone.”

Download or read book Attract Mode: The Rise and Fall of Coin-Op Arcade Games written by Jamie Lendino and published by Steel Gear Press. This book was released on 2020-09-27 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From their haunts in the shadowy corner of a bar, front and center at a convenience store, or reigning over a massive mall installation bursting with light, sound, and action, arcade games have been thrilling and addicting quarter-bearers of all ages ever since Pong first lit up its paddles. Whether you wanted a few minutes’ quick-twitch exhilaration or the taste of three-initial immortality that came with topping the high score screen, you could get it from the diverse range of space shooters, dot-eating extravaganzas, quirky beat-’em-ups, and more that have helped define pop culture for more than four decades. In Attract Mode: The Rise and Fall of Coin-Op Arcade Games, author Jamie Lendino celebrates both the biggest blockbusters (Pac-Man, Star Wars: The Arcade Game) and the forgotten gems (Phoenix, Star Castle) of the Golden Age of coin-op gaming, and pulls back the curtain on the personalities and the groundbreaking technologies that brought them to glitzy, color-drenched life in the U.S., Japan, and all over the world. You’ll start your journey exploring the electromechanical attractions and pinball games of the early 20th century. Next, you’ll meet the earliest innovators, who used college computers and untested electronics to outline the possibilities of the emerging form, and discover the surprising history behind the towering megahits from Nintendo, Sega, and others that still inform gaming today. Then you’ll witness the devastating crash that almost ended it all—and the rebirth no one expected. Whether you prefer the white-knuckle gameplay of Robotron: 2084, the barrel-jumping whimsy of Donkey Kong, or the stunning graphics and animation of Dragon’s Lair, Attract Mode will transport you back to the heyday of arcade games and let you relive—or experience for the first time—the unique magic that transformed entertainment forever.

Download or read book The Big Picture and Other Byte-sized Short Stories written by S. A. Cecrle and published by Strategic Book Publishing. This book was released on 2014-02-14 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of short stories includes many different genres. Whether the story line is a psychological effort, comedy, science fiction, fantasy or satire, the author has tried to render a diverse entertainment value to each. In this fast-paced, hectic, and TV-dominated culture, these stories were written to offer a half-hour to one-hour window of insightful entertainment, reminiscent of "The Twilight Zone" and "Hitchcock Presents." Many of these tales have an abrupt, unexpected twist and could easily be adapted as television screenplays. The sequence of these short stories will keep the reader guessing as to what motifs and messages will appear next, much like a baseball pitcher working his batter to keep him off balance. Many of these stories are like a quick jolt, providing instant gratification. Among the 20 very different and mind-bending story lines are the wizardry of Baron Chronosimos, the scientific genius of time traveler Frank Morrison, and the ghostly appearance of former Black Panther Fred Hampton. Says the author, "With some it may be history, others a comical farce. I have tried to incorporate many different themes that might encourage a broader understanding of the myriad thought processes to be gained through the printed word." So sit back and enjoy The Big Picture and Other Byte-sized Short Stories.
