Sony ruined gaming

Technically, it was a better handheld, featuring a color LCD screen, a backlight, and much more impressive graphics. There were no major issues with the Lynx; it just failed to attract attention. By Atari had basically given up on the Lynx, instead focusing all their attention on a new and exciting console: the Atari Jaguar.

Sadly, we know how that turned out. The Lynx was officially discontinued in , and much like their home consoles, Atari never released another handheld. But back in the late 80s, they were kind of a big deal for game consoles—though, mainly in Japan. They released a console called the PC Engine there, and it did very well. Given its success in Japan, it was a logical step to bring the PC Engine to the rest of the world. There has been a lot of speculation as to why the TurboGrafx 16 failed in North America.

Some blame the marketing—the box art for games was lackluster, and there were some confusing add-ons released. Way back in , the idea of combining a handheld game console with a cell phone was truly revolutionary. And no one was better suited to create it than cellular titan Nokia. Enter the Nokia N-Gage, the cell phone gaming device that could have taken the world by storm. The design was similar to the competing Game Boy Advance, but since it was also a phone, the button layout proved difficult to use.

Good try, though! Long before Oculus came along, Nintendo pioneered virtual reality with the fantastic and well-received Virtual Boy. I am, of course, being sarcastic. The Virtual Boy is an interesting case study for many reasons.

It was released in , just ahead of the Nintendo 64, which meant it was rushed and brought to market unfinished. Features like local multiplayer were advertised, but the required accessories were never released. Though it was the opposite of a success and basically ruined virtual reality for 20 years, Nintendo can never be accused of not trying new things. He looked the part, and because Wahlberg is an action star that can imbue humour with menace see his role in The Departed , to many he sounded like the perfect choice for the role.

Fans assumed the movie would suck but were at least reassured the Hollywood star would have a lot of fun as the badass detective. Despite the fact the noir style and cheeky wit helped defined the game, the adaptation removed these elements, turning the movie into a dreary mess without even the violent action of the games. Even though Wahlberg is charismatic, the dull script doesn't give him a chance to do anything with the character.

Because the filmmakers only paid lip service to the the game's look, style, tone, and removed so much of the protagonist's personality, one questions why they were so eager to adapt the film in the first place.

Even with finished consoles, distribution remains a challenge as shipping costs have escalated sharply. Click here to join our channel indianexpress and stay updated with the latest headlines.
