Ngesikhathi izixuku zikhumbula kahle i- Nintendo Entertainment System njenge-home console yekhwalithi yokuqala yekhwalithi ye-arcade, abathandekayo be-retro kanye nabadlali be-hardcore bayavuma ukuthi kwakukhona uhlelo olulodwa olwenqabela i- NES kokubili ukuhlonishwa okubucayi, umthelela kanye nostalgia, i- ColecoVision .
Phakathi neminyaka emibili yeminyaka yokuphila, uClecoVision wahlukana nokulindela, amarekhodi okuthengisa futhi wayesebenza ngendlela efanele yokuba yi-console ephumelele kakhulu emlandweni, ngabe kwakungewona umonakalo wemboni ngo-1983/84 futhi umdlalo onobungozi wokuguqula i-console ibe ikhompyutha yasekhaya.
I-Pre-History
Ngezinye izindlela igama lale ngqangi lingase libizwe ngokuthi, Coleco: I-House eyakhiwa i-Atari , njengoba uCleco edala ibhizinisi lonke ekukhoneni nokuthuthuka kwezobuchwepheshe be-Atari .
Ngo-1975 i-Atari ka- Pong yayiyi-hit enkulu kuwo wonke womabili ama-arcades nama-home unit ayenama-home, aphezulu kakhulu ekuthengiseni komncintiswano wabo kuphela, iMagnavox Odyssey . Ngempumelelo kaPong , yonke inhlobo yezinkampani yayizama ukuqhubela emidlalweni yevidiyo, kuhlanganise neCenecticut Le ather Co mpany (aka Coleco ), owayeqale ibhizinisi labo ngezimpahla zesikhumba wabe esehambela ezakhiweni zamaplastiki ezihamba ngeplastiki .
Unyaka ngemuva kokukhululwa kukaPong uCleco wangena emdlalweni wevidiyo we-Phong nge-clone yokuqala ye- Pong , i- Telstar . Ngaphezu kokuqukatha i- Pong (ebizwa ngokuthi iTennis lapha), i-chip yayishintshiwe ukuze ifake ukuhlukahluka komdlalo, i- Hockey ne- Handball . Ukuba nemidlalo engaphezu kweyodwa kwenza i- Telstar ibe yi-console yokuqala yokuzinikela emhlabeni.
Nakuba u-Atari enamalungelo ePong , ngokusemthethweni behluleka ukulwa namagundane ama-clones ahlasela imakethe. Kwakukhona kakade indawo engumgogodla owawuzungeza lo mdlalo njengo-Atari ngokwabo "uboleke" umqondo nokuklama kusuka ku- Tennis for Two , abanye abathi bangumdlalo wokuqala wevidiyo, kanye negeyimu ye- Magnavox Odyssey's Tennis eyakhishwa ngonyaka ngaphambi I-Pong .
Ekuqaleni, i- Telstar yayingumdayisi omkhulu futhi eminyakeni emibili elandelayo, uCleco wakhipha izinhlobo eziningana ezahlukene, ngayinye enezinhlobo eziningi ze- Pong nokwanda kwekhwalithi. I-microchip eyenziwa yi- Telstar empeleni yenziwe yi-General Electric. Njengoba i-GE ingaboshwa isivumelwano esivumelana nanoma yimuphi inkampani efuna ukungena ebhizinisini legeyimu yevidiyo ingathola i- Pong clone yawo isebenzisa ama-GE chips. Ekugcineni, ngisho no-Atari waphendukela ku-GE njengoba kwakuyisixazululo eshibhile kunokukhiqiza izinhlamvu. Ngokushesha imakethe yagcwala ngamakhulu ama- Pong rip-offs ahlukene, futhi ukuthengisa kwaqala ukungena.
Njengoba abantu baqala ukukhathala yiPong , i-Atari yabona ukuthi kungenzeka ukudala uhlelo olunezinhlobonhlobo zemidlalo kumakhanjidi aguquguqukayo, futhi ngo-1977 bakhululwa i- Atari 2600 (aka Atari VCS ) . I- 2600 yaba yimpumelelo enkulu, ibusa imakethe kwaze kwaba ngo-1982 lapho uCleco enquma ukubuyela emthonjeni we-Atari tech weColecoVision .
Umzimba wekhonsoli - Inhliziyo yekhompyutha
Ngo-1982 imakethe yasekhaya yayilawulwa yi- Atari 2600 kanye ne -Intellivision kaMatel . Abaningi bazama ukuncintisana kodwa bahluleka ... kuze kufike uCococoVision .
Ngama-80s okuqala kobuchwepheshe bekhompiyutha bekubonga ukubonga okungabizi kakhulu ku- Commodore 64 , futhi abathengi babefisa imidlalo ephezulu. I-Coleco ekhishwe ngokuba ngowokuqala ukufaka iprosesa yekhompiyutha ibe yikholomu yemidlalo yekhaya ekhaya. Nakuba lokhu kwandise izindleko ngamaphesenti angama-50 ngaphezulu kunomncintiswano, kwavumela uCleco ukuletha ikhwalithi ye-arcade eduze.
Nakuba ubuchwepheshe obuphambili buyi-point yokuthengisa, kwakungeke kukwanele ukukhipha amakhasimende kusuka emandleni asemandleni, ase- Atari 2600 . Ngaphezu kokudinga umdlalo we-hit, i-Coleco ukweba abathengi kusukela ku- 2600 nabo kuzodinga ukuthi baphinde baphange tech ka-Atari.
I-ColecoVision / Nintendo Partnership ne-Atari Clone
Ngasekuqaleni kweminyaka engu-80, uNintendo wayesevele efaka i-toe emgodini wegeyimu yekhaya ekhaya ne- Pong clone yabo, uhlelo lweMidlalo ye-TV . I-Nintendo ibhizinisi elikhulu lezemidlalo lalivela ezigodini nge-hit yabo yokuqala, uDonkey Kong . Ngaleso sikhathi kwakukhona impi yokubambisana phakathi kuka-Atari noMatel emalungelo egeyimu yevidiyo yaseDonkey Kong , kodwa uCleco wangena ngesipho esisheshayo nesethembiso sokwenza umdlalo uphezulu ngekhwalithi kunanoma iyiphi enye indlela engayikhulula. U-DK waya eCococo owenza ukuzijabulisa okuphephile futhi wasihlanganisa neClecoVision . Ithuba lokudlala i-arcade hit ekhaya lokushayela imoto ye-console ekuphumeleleni okukhulu.
Esinye isici ku- ColecoVision ephula amarekhodi okuthengisa kwakuyi-module yokuqala yokukhulisa. Njengoba i- ColecoVision yakhelwe ngobuchwepheshe bekhompuyutha, njengekhompiyutha ingashintshwa ngezingxenye ze-hardware ezandise amandla ayo. I-Module Yokukhulisa # 1 iqaliswe eceleni kwe- ColecoVision futhi iqukethe i-emulator ezovumela uhlelo ukuthi ludlale i- Atari 2600 cartridges. Ama-Gamers manje anesistimu eyodwa engakwazi ukuwela-amapulatifomu, enikeza uClecoVision umtapo omkhulu wemidlalo kunanoma iyiphi enye i-console. Lokhu kwamphakamisa uClecoVision phezulu ngoba kwasheshe kuthunyelwe u-Atari no- Intellivision ngezinyanga ezimbalwa.
U-Atari wazama ukungenelela ngokumangalela uCococo ngokuphula ilungelo lakhe lobunikazi be- 2600 , kodwa ngaleso sikhathi imidlalo yevidiyo yayingumqondo omusha wokuthi kwakukhona imithetho embalwa evikela amalungelo wobunikazi. I-Atari ibambe ukushaya ukuzama ukuvikela i-tech yabo eminyakeni, hhayi nje ngama- Pong clones kodwa nezinkantolo ezivumela imidlalo engagunyaziwe ukuba yenziwe ngo- 2600 . U-Coleco wakwazi ukucindezela enkantolo ngokufakazela ukuthi bakha ummulator wabo izingxenye ezingasese. Njengoba engekho ingxenye yodwa eyayiyi-Atari, izinkantolo azizange zizwe ukuphulwa kwe-patent. Kuleli Coleco elibusayo akugcini nje ngokuqhubeka nokuthengisa kwabo kodwa kwenza i-clone e- standout yedwa ebizwa ngokuthi i- Coleco Gemini .
Imidlalo
I- ColecoVision yafaka imidlalo yekhwalithi yekhwalithi emakhaya, futhi nakuba la ayengewona amathrekhi aqondile wezinhlamvu ze-arcade zemali, zavuselelwa ukufanisa ikhono leCococoVision elisaqhubeka kakhulu kunanoma ubani owayeke wabona ngaphambili ohlelweni lwekhaya.
Umdlalo weDonkey Kong owafika nesistimu akuyona nje kuphela iCococoVision eseduze kakhulu yokubuyisela umdlalo we-arcade wokuqala, kodwa inguqulo ephelele kunayo yonke yeDonkey Kong ekhishwe uhlelo lwekhaya. Ngisho ne-Nintendo inguqulo ikhishwe ngokwayo ku- Nintendo Entertainment System , futhi kamuva nje i- Nintendo Wii , ayiqukethe wonke amazinga we-arcade.
Nakuba abaningi bengaphikisana ngokuthi izihloko zokuqalwa, ikakhulukazi i- Donkey Kong , zivame kakhulu nekhwalithi ye-arcade, izinhlelo eziningi zezinhlelo ezalandela azange zibonise isikhathi esiningi noma ukunakekelwa. Ukubukwa kwe-Visual and Gameplay kwakukhona iziqu eziningana zeCococoVision ezingenakukwazi ukubamba amalangabi kubalingani babo bezimali , njengoGalaga noPapeye .
I-Module Yokukhulisa & # 39; s Iyasebenza futhi isuswa
Nakuba Module Yokukhulisa # 1 yayiyingxenye yalokho eyenza i- ColecoVision ishaye, kwakungamanye amamojula azogcina ekuholeni ekupheleni kwesistimu.
Ukulindela bekuphezulu nokumenyezelwa kweModeli Yokukhulisa # 2 no- # 3 , okwakungekho okuhlangabezana nokulindeleke kwe-gamer. Isibonelo sokwandisa # 2 siphelile sibe yisiphathimandla esihamba phambili se-Steering Wheel control. Nakuba ngaleso sikhathi kwakuyiyona ndlela ehamba phambili kunazo zonke enhlobonhlobo yayo, igcwaliswe nge-gas pedal kanye ne-pack-in-game game Turbo , kwakungeyona umdayisi omkhulu futhi kuphela amancane emidlalo ehambisanayo eyake yenzelwe yona.
Kusukela ukukhululwa kweCococoVision , izinhlelo zaqhutshelwa esidlangalaleni ukuze zisetshenziselwe ukuthuthukiswa kwazo okwesithathu okuthiwa i- Super Game Module . I-SGM yayihloswe ukwandisa imemori namandla we- ColecoVision , evumela imidlalo ephakeme kakhulu ngehluzo ezingcono, i-gameplay namazinga angeziwe. Esikhundleni se-cartridges, i- SGM kwakufanele isebenzise i- "Super Game Wafers" efana ne-diskette egcinwe, izibalo namazinga aphakeme kumathebhu omhlaba. Amageyimu amaningana athuthukiswe eModule futhi ahlaselwa ngo-1983 eNew York Toy Show , ethola inani eliphezulu lokudumisa kanye ne-buzz. Wonke umuntu wayeqiniseka kakhulu ukuthi i- SGM izoba ngukuthi uCococo waqala ukusebenza neRCA kanye nomdali we-console yemidlalo ye-game Ralph Baer (iMagnavox Odyssey) emdlalweni wesibili we- Super Game Module , ongadlala imidlalo namabhayisikobho kwi diski efana ne-RAC ye-VideoDisk Players ye-CAC , isandulela ama-Laserdiscs nama-DVD.
NgoJuni, uCleco ungalindelekile ukulibala ukukhululwa kweSGM kanye nezinyanga ezimbili kamuva waxoshwa iphrojekthi, futhi esikhundleni salokho wakhulula iModule yokuHlanganisa ehlukile # 3 , i- Adam Computer .
I-Adam Computer Gamble
Ngaleso sikhathi, i- Commodore 64 yayiyikhompyutha yasekhaya ekhethekile futhi yaqala ukusika emakethe yemidlalo yevidiyo. U-Coleco uthole umqondo wokuthi kunokuba wenze ikhompiyutha edlala imidlalo yevidiyo, kungani ungaba nekhonsoli yemidlalo ephindwe kabili njengekhompyutha? Ngakho u- Adamu wazalwa.
Ukubolekisa izingxenye zayo eziningi kusukela ku- Super Game Module ekhanseliwe, u- Adamu wayenokhiye we-add-on, i- Digital Data Pack - isistimu yokugcina idatha ye-cassette efana neyasetshenziselwa i- Commodore 64 , iphrinta ebizwa ngokuthi i- SmartWriter Electronic Typewriter , isofthiwe yesistimu kanye nomdlalo wokupakisha.
Nakuba uCleco enamalungelo e-console ku- Donkey Kong , uNintendo wayeqedela isivumelwano se-Atari ukuze akhiqize kuphela iDK emakethe yekhompiyutha, ngakho-ke, umdlalo uhlelwe ekuqaleni kweSGM , uBuck Rodgers: Plant of Zoom , waba ngu- phakethe umdlalo.
Nakuba uhlelo lwangaphambili, u- Adam wayehlushwa izimbungulu nezinkinga ze-hardware. Okuphawulekayo kwalokhu kufaka inombolo enkulu yeDam Data Data Packs engalungile eyayingase ivele ngokushesha lapho isebenzisa, futhi ukuqhuma kwamagnetic kuvela kwikhompyutha uma kuqala kuxhunyiwe okuyolimaza noma kusule noma yikuphi amakhasethi okugcina idatha esiseduze nayo.
Izinkinga zobuchwepheshe zika-Adam ezishadile ngemali yentengo ye $ 750, izindleko eziphakeme kunokuthenga i- ColecoVision ne- Commodore 64 ehlanganisiwe, uphawu lwama-system. UCleco walahlekelwa ihembe lakhe ku- Adam njengoba nje kushaywe i-Crash Game Game Market Crash. Nakuba uCleco esenze izinhlelo zeModeli Yokukhulisa Okwesine, eyodwa ezovumela i- Intellivision cartridges ukuba idlalwe ohlelweni, yonke imiklamo yesikhathi esizayo ikhanseliwe ngokushesha.
I-ColecoVision iphela
I- ColecoVision ibanjwe emakethe kuze kube ngo-1984 lapho uCleco ephuma e-electronics biz ukugxila ikakhulukazi emidlalweni yabo yokudlala njengeCabbage Patch Kids .
Ngonyaka owodwa ngemuva kokuba uCococoVision eshiye emakethe, uNitendo owayengumlingani wangaphambili wezalayisensi wafika eNyakatho Melika futhi wabusa imboni yemidlalo yevidiyo ngeNintendo Entertainment System.
Kungakhathaliseki impumelelo, uCleco watholakala kumathoyizi, umthwalo wezezimali owabangelwa i-Adam Computer wawonakalisa inkampani ngaphandle kokulungisa. Kusukela ngo-1988 inkampani yaqala ukuthengisa izimpahla zayo futhi yavala iminyango yayo ngonyaka.
Nakuba le nkampani njengoba sazi ukuthi ayisekho, igama le-brand ladayiswa futhi ngo-2005 kwakhiwa i-Coleco entsha, ekhethekile kuma-toys e-elekthronikhi namageyimu ahlinzekwe ngesandla.
Eminyakeni yayo embalwa yonyaka, i- ColecoVision ithengise amayunithi angaphezu kwezigidi eziyisithupha futhi yenza uphawu oluhlala unomphela wezinga eliphakeme kakhulu nelithuthukisiwe lezemidlalo ye-video yama-80s.
