Quotes by Nick Montfort (?)

“Parker Brothers and other companies sold a billion dollars worth of handheld games in 1979, which didn’t encourage them to look to the much smaller videogame market. In that market, the leading company, Atari, had sales of only $238 million during that same year—and that was after the Atari VCS had been on the market for more than twelve months.”
― Nick Montfort, Racing the Beam: The Atari Video Computer System

“When the snowspeeder endures for two minutes in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, it wins the temporary invulnerability of “the Force” and the Star Wars theme plays, as it does when the cartridge first starts up. This rare musical treat effectively draws a connection to the Star Wars movies and also works effectively in the game, making the period of invulnerability even more heightened. The theme plays as sound effects from the game continue, too, so that it is integrated into the experience of play rather than interrupting it.”

“good examples of platform-aware work in Alexander Galloway’s Protocol: How Control Exists after Decentralization, Steven E. Jones’s The Meaning of Video Games, and Matthew G. Kirschenbaum’s Mechanisms: New Media and the Forensic Imagination.”
