Arcade Machine Self Test







Arcade Machine Self Test

Arcade Machine Self Test 02/05/2005 10:17 PM

bootloader.jpgimageFrom the AX|BX page at Assembler.org:

"When arcade machines boot, many will preform a self test, part of which is visual in nature. These come in various shapes and sizes. Some are for video calibration (convergence grids, color patterns, etc), while others show a tile map of sprites used in the game. These test screens can last a millisecond, or flash through a sequence of visual items that last several seconds.

For extra credit, watch while playing one of these:

Be sure load sound first. (Thanks, Josh!)

MIT is now looking to make use of the educational benefits of video games in a program called the Education Arcade. The idea is to work with game developers, researchers and scholars to help use games for educational purposes. There aren't too many details in the article, but it is an interesting idea. It could also lead to people having less of an instantly negative reaction to the idea of video games.

Movie theater repurposed as Xbox arcade


Movie theater repurposed as Xbox arcade 08/22/2004 07:30 AM
Cory Doctorow: A cinema operator in a small town in Utah has started running Friday night gaming tournaments in which Xboxes are connected to the big screens and sound-systems.
Theater managers took four video projectors, set one up in each of four theaters with a Microsoft XBox video game system connected to it, and then let the fun begin for more than 60 people.

"Tonight blew our minds," theater co-owner Calvin Timothy said afterward. "We're definitely going to keep doing this."

The game Friday night: "Halo" -- a first-person shoot-em-up game in which four people can play on a team against four others. The evening was set up in a tournament format where 16 teams battled each other until the wee hours of Saturday morning to find out who the kings of gaming are in the valley.
