Do you happen to be THAT LeoJ's friend? *imitate leo* YOU ARE WRONG.... YOU ARE DEAD WRONG MAN!!! Here's a quick story, there was a time when xbox didn't exist (you know a time when there was no annyoing/cry babies/blind fanboys) that made console gaming popular, that was the PS1. Now please don't erupted again |
Excuse me sir, but the Atari 2600 says boo to that. 30 million people can't be wrong.
"Now, a fun game should always be easy to understand - you should be able to take one look at it and know what you have to do straight away. It should be so well constructed that you can tell at a glance what your goal is and, even if you don’t succeed, you’ll blame yourself rather than the game. Moreover, the people standing around watching the game have also got to be able to enjoy it." - Shiggy
I have an article I was working on when I was a contributor but due to personal issues and an absence from here as a result of those issues it never got ready.
I made a promise to elgefe02 that I would write it and by then end of the week I will post it as a thread as I always try to keep my promises.
Bare in mind that it might not be 100% accurate havent crosschecked everything yet.
This is the order for online gaming history:
1981 Playcable by Mattel
1983 Gameline by CVC using the atari 2600 format
1988 NES by Nintendo
1991/1994 Sega meganet/channel by Sega
1995 Xband by Catapult entertainment using the format SNES/MEGA DRIVE
1995 Atari Jaguar voice modem by Atari
1995 Satellaview by Nintendo
1998 Sega netlink by Planetweb using the format sturn/dreamcast
1999 Nintendo 64 Disk drive by Nintendo
Thats part of the work I have ready and will finalize and post this weekend.

In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird.
Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.

Wow, then no one got it right if it was Mattel..
what about the PC..? Isnt it the first online gaming platform. Does he think the 360 came before the PC?


online gamming was way before dreamcast people.

Here is a little fun fact about Mattels online
It cost 5$ a month,
It had 20 games to chose from
It lasted 2 years
The games couldnt be bigger then 4 kb
It was canceled by the cable network to make room for MTV and the weather channel
Fear of pirating and indie developers made Mattel scrap the project alltogether in the end.

That's the new requirement for "making console gaming popular"?
Shit, looks like Nintendo being famous for NES and SNES and Mario being a global superstar were all lies. I can't believe Nintendo and all of it's great franchises aren't popular!

Didn't PS2 and the original Xbox have online also?
