	1994 in video gaming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		November - Game Zero magazine drops their print format and becomes the first video game news magazine on the web.
		Sonic and Knuckles was released in the autumn of 1994.
		Sonic and Knuckles introduced "lock-on" gaming, allowing a player to connect Sonic 2 or 3 to the cartridge, which allowed the player to play these games as Knuckles.

	Program on Racing and Wagering Law (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		ORS §461.215.(1) simply states that the lottery commission “may initiate a game or games using video devices.” In the Ecumenical Ministries case, this language was broad enough to authorize the use of video poker as a legitimate video lottery game.
		Since video lottery terminals were limited to licensed establishments selling liquor, and since there was a statutory limit of five machines per establishment, the court found that the video poker terminals did not constitute a casino.
		The definition of a video lottery game is so broad that it can consist of games involving player choice so long as the player is given the signal as to which is the optimal choice based on probabilities of winning.

		The empirical literature on the effects of exposure to video game violence is sparse, however, in part because of its relatively recent emergence in modern U.S. society.
		As the name of the game implies, the goal of the player in Mortal Kombat is to kill any opponent he faces.
		The research to date on video game effects is sparse and weak in a number of ways.

	Game Studies - Creative Player Actions in FPS Online Video Games: Playing Counter-Strike
		Within the game console function, log files are easily generated and are most often used by players to check their kill/death ratios and to examine game action.
		Play is not just "playing the game," but "playing with the rules of the game" and is best shown in the diversity of talk, the creative uses of such talk and player behavior within the game, plus the modifications of game technical features.
		Through the playing of the game and negotiating conflicts one learns the meaning of the game, the meaning of "having fun." And that "having fun," is bound up with creative actions taken to enhance the pleasure of the game.

	VideoGames : Earthbound (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		For a "kiddie game" (and I'm using that loosely) it is incredibly addictive.
		The year was 1994, the video gaming world was climbing faster and faster to the top of the entertainment industry, every gamer knew it was coming and finally video games could be delivered from their nerdy, childish reputation.
		It was also a turning point in the industry, video games were being pushed further and further as mediums of pure entertainment, and pressure was being pressed harder and harder on game developers to create games that would look flashier, destroy more and sell better.

	Locus Online: Lucius Cook on Games
		Science fiction in electronic games is nothing new; many of the arcade games of the medium's "Golden Age" (1977-84), such as Space Invaders, Asteroids, Defender, and Missile Command, utilize familiar scenarios such as alien invasions or global thermonuclear war as a backdrop.
		The storyline, such as it was, involved a Marine fighting zombies and demons in a base on Mars; by the end of the game, the battle shifted to Hell itself, visualized as Giger-ish pulsating fleshscapes and lava flows.
		Computer games had arrived at last, but in the process had lost their genre roots; Doom's forebears weren't Smith or Tolkien, but Aliens and Evil Dead, and the games that followed in its wake, like Duke Nukem, Quake, and Unreal, were less concerned with storytelling than arresting visuals.

	DOOM - THE GENESIS OF A VIDEO GAMING LEGEND
		The game is Doom, by Id Software, and it features some of the most gory, satisfyingly bloodthirsty scenes of maiming and mutilation that has ever graced the small screen.
		Often as a game was 'cracked', its internal workings would be revealed to the hacker and it was a relatively simple matter to rearrange the game and presto, an editor would be the result.
		Video game commentators have often commented that an otherwise poor game can be made playable by the simple addition of multiplayer action.

		There were a handful of games released for it in both formats, and in Japan there was an additional pack released that let you connect it to your PC, but this one was pretty much dead in the water.
		Billed as a 32-bit 3D gaming machine, it remains the only console I have ever played that made me physically ill. After playing a few minutes worth of one of the games, I was left dazed, dizzy and downright nauseous.
		In 1994, while Sega of Japan was hard at work on their own 32-bit system, Sega of America was tasked to create an upgrade to their aging Genesis hardware.

	NewHampshire.com: News: Senate committee votes in support of video gaming (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Depending upon who you believe, allowing video gaming machines at the state's tracks or other facilities would provide about $250 million a year for the state and provide jobs, or it would cost more than the state would bring in to deal with added crime and gambling addiction.
		D'Allesandro used the state of Delaware's 10-year experience with a similar gaming program to support arguments that allowing video games can be achieved without adding to crime and other social problems opponents cite.
		Under the bill, 2.5 percent of the average daily income derived from video machines would be paid to the communities where the machines are and another 2.5 percent would go to Coos County for economic development.

		Sure, there are plenty of violent games out there, but parents concerned with their children gaming habits don't have to look very far to find more suitable, 'wholesome' alternatives.
		Admittedly, since gaming's got more commercialised, these are scarcer, but there's a whole back-catalogue from the 90s of Lucasarts adventure games, as well as some more recent platformers like Mario Sunshine or Psychonauts - both excellent games in their own right.

		The only graphics card company that was around in 1994 and is still a player in the gaming graphics business is ATI, which sold the Mach 64 card (with up to 2 MB of RAM).
		It was always obvious when a game was a port from the PC to the Amiga because the port was usually terrible as PC programmers knew nothing about programming for the Amiga's custom chipset, placing all the work on the CPU, which was a bit inferior to the CPUs in PCs.
		Games like Sam1 (A classic, for those who encontered it) Doom1, Police-Bail, Therngorus, Warrior version 2, and other pixleated badly structured DOS games that were classic at the time.

		The disclaimers, from all manufacturers, mention that games present a risk of seizures for some people, and that anyone playing a video game who feels dizzy or disoriented, or who has altered vision or muscle twitches, should stop immediately and consult a doctor.

		There was one girl (on the left) who was a total music game fanatic that was blushing the entire time she played; you do look pretty silly waving your arms about vigorously.
		In addition to ignoring then-current market conditions (which would have guaranteed the system failiure, even if it was a powerful kick ass system with tons of great games), it was also backed by Sega at a time when they were at their most arrogant, with one of the most asinine marketing strategies off all time.

		Her logic: Yes, sports games are made for sports fans, most of whom are men, “but the women are there, and they, too, are playing the sporting games.” She predicts that as video games “become more mainstream, you’ll have a wider range of content.”
