***I have received a couple of emails regarding submission of homework. To recap, homework is to be submitted via email with Film 2700 and Your Name in the subject line, including the name of the assignment is preferable. The assignment name/number does, however, need to be included in the body or attachment. You may write your answers directly into the body of the email, copy and paste your answers into the email or add the assignment as an attachment (Word, PDF, etc.), whatever works best and is easiest for you.***
HOMEWORK 1: DUE BEFORE CLASS JANUARY 16th.
Visit an arcade and then answer the following questions:
- Why aren’t arcades more popular?
- What was it like traveling to a destination to play games, as opposed to playing in your own home?
- What are the physical differences in playing at an arcade vs. playing at home? Does it affect the gaming experience?
- Which is a better value, home play or arcade play?
- Any final thoughts on your arcade experience?
Play
a retro game (can be played at the arcade you visit). “Retro” means a
game released before 1983 (the Great Videogame Crash) and answer the
following:
- What game did you play?
- Who published the game?
- When was it released?
- What platform was it released on?
- List two positive design aspects…
- List two negative…
- Finally, tell me why you think anyone would have wanted to play this game, let alone put quarters into a machine or buy it to play it?
