Posted on April 22, 2010 | No Comments

Nostalgia week continues with Apple ][, Pascal, and old-fashioned newsletters!
Posted on February 19, 2010 | No Comments
Hot on the heels of our celebration of the BBS, here's a pair of retro stories to ease your transition into the weekend. First up is "Pascal Spoken Here", by Ian Bogost about the subtle shift over the years in how we view computers. Back in 1977 the advertising clearly identified the connection between using, exploring, and learning a computer in ways that you simply don't see any more.

The early days of John Madden Football
Posted on August 31, 2009 | No Comments
Great article over at Edge Online for anyone interested in the early days of EA's John Madden Football franchise. Did you know that one of the first versions of the game was initially 7-on-7 due to memory limitations? Madden himself put the kibosh on that one right away, saying, "What’s this seven-on-seven? This isn’t football. If my name’s going to be on something it’s got to be 11-on-11."
