For the first seven years of development, Smart was essentially a one man band on the game, coding and doing his own PR for the title, drumming up considerable interest among gamers and the press.
The game was a bug-infested mess, and the package itself came with a tiny manual that didn't even begin to explain how to play a game that complex.
The release of the game, though, began what some consider the longest running flame war on the Internet, with Smart and some of his fans on one side, and a whole bunch of detractors on the other.

 Drumming - Aquarius Metaphysical Newspaper Article   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Drumming has been a part of almost every culture throughout history and today has become popular because it encourages cultural tolerance and understanding; community connectedness; and mental, emotional, and physical healing.
In African traditions, drumming is primarily a form of communication and celebration of the rights of passage and transitional phases of life.
Drumming, he says, leaves a spontaneous opening and encourages balance and peace within and is an easy way to get into meditation.

 Macworld: News: Haddad on Mac games, Cohen responds
Their Mac game conversions are often a few months later than their PC counterparts, but these publishers have gotten a lot better than they used to be about narrowing that gap.
If you're running a game development studio and you're lucky enough to have Mac programmers on staff, as well as talented game developers that can craft their own libraries and tools to be platform-agnostic, it's possible to create a multiplatform game and expend limited additional resources in the process.
Because most of today's game developers and producers are trained in a Windows-centric environment, very few of them have the skills or the discipline to manage a multi-platform project.

DRUMMING is Steve Reich's longest work, two full discs of minimalist rhythms performed by an occasionally changing ensemble.
Stylistically "Drumming" is a continuation and final refinement of the phasing technique that Reich had been working with since 1965.
"Drumming", on the other hand, is so dull that I felt no compulsion to return to it except the curiosity to know if there was something in there after all.

 Hands-On: TAIKO: Drum Master for PS2 on Gamepro.com.
The word taiko refers to both the Japanese art of taiko drumming and to the drums themselves (so you could technically refer to the game as "Drum Drum Master" but TAIKO sounds a bit less repetitive).
It is possible to play with one player on a drum controller and the second on a dual shock, but for the full experience you really should have two drums hooked up to the PlayStation 2.

 Mambo A Go Go - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There are 3 drums, each one divided into three sections, giving a player a maximum of nine places to hit.
The game predominantly features Latin music including "Mambo #5" (the original by Perez Prado, and not the Lou Bega song) and "La Bamba", as well as "El Bimbo" (the original song that served as the basis for "El Ritmo Tropical", which does not appear in this game).
This game is probably the most obscure game in the bemani line of games, as Mambo a Gogo was overshadowed by another music game produced by Sega, intitled "Samba de Amigo", and is also the least popular of the bemani line of games.

The game is built around the basic arcade mode, which replicates the arcade version's song progression and three basic levels of difficulty.
A bizarre cast of characters fills the game -- like those in Puyo Puyo, their intentions are uncertain, but they do add plenty of visual personality -- and more than 30 songs are available, collected from the various arcade iterations of the game.

Raph Koster is blogging furiously these days, and he's just posted a round-up of the Korea Games Conference that ended this week.
I'm going to jump on point 5, because it's a pity that this meme that games don't appeal to women is being perpetuated so; data shows time and time again that almost half of all gamers (41-48% depending on age, platform and location) are already female, despite minimal to non-existent target marketing.
Everyone knows the games industry must appeal to more than just blokes, but few are quite ready to announce significant experiments yet.

 [No title]
In early game pieces, like Pool & Archery, the structures may be as simple as providing an order for the possible solos, duos, trios, and quartets available for a particular size ensemble and then providing specific ways in which participating musicians can interrupt this order.
In later game pieces, like Cobra (the most recorded and performed of Zorn's game pieces), the rules are more open (there is, for example, no attempt at having all possible combinations of players perform together, and there is no notated material) and the ways in which performers can interupt the proceedings are more elaborate.
In all of the game pieces a prompter, who does not play an instrument during the piece, keeps track of where players are within the structure, making sure that everyone knows what's going on.
