Hey People
Just a quick note that I forgot to mention before on my last post. I know that Chris is researching Retro Games for his assigment and was going to tell him about this easay that I found.
Its an university lecture that defines a retro game and why nostaliga is so important in the current generation of video games
Its at http://www.utc.fr/~nesposit/publications/esposito2005history.pdf
Cheers People

Thanks Luke, I've just bookmarked it!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a good essay, ideas of nostalgia and retro are slippery theories to deal with, they are wrapped up in layers of postmodernism and are hard to talk about from a truley objective standpoint but a great area of study. What is a "retro" game anyhow?
ReplyDeleteIs it anything pre the generation of console that is current? Is PS2 retro? Does the Wii problematize what we class as retro gaming as half of its purpose is to work as an emulator...
