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.

Is marijuana the best medicine?

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?

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?
