The nineties were vague times, and some curious stories continue to emerge so far. And now John Romero (John Romero), Creator Doom and co -founder ID Software, Published a video with a prototype Super Mario Bros. 3 on PC, behind which there is a curious story.
In 1990, the technical capabilities of entertainment systems were very different. The consoles are much better PCs coped with Sidskrollers (this is when the camera in a two -dimensional game moves smoothly with the character). However John Romero And his colleagues managed to defeat this problem and gathered a demo, which in those days looked almost a revelation. The developers wanted to conclude a contract with Nintendo And license the franchise Mario, To port it on PC. The Japanese company flatly refused the proposal. But the prototype came to the liking of the publishing house Apogee Software. It was and undertook to cooperate with talented developers. It was impossible to use the image of Mario for obvious reasons, so I had to build my own platformer and name it Commander Keen.
Largely thanks to this arcade, in general, it was born ID Software, which we remember today. So the console platformers managed to influence Wolfenstein And Doom, So, on the genre of shooters in general!
And now we know what the same prototype looked like.

Few people remember the Commander Keen, because the ID Software has since developed and moved the video game on the industry further, and Nintendo has still remained with her Mario not even in yesterday, but in the last century.
Nintendo some suckers. Instead of taking a talented guy under his wing, they sent him. As a result, the boy made a revolution in the gaming industry. Although here, agree with a person in the 90th, that so we give you a team and money, you just program for us. Nah, we are too cool. We are Nintendo.
The second time Nintendo crap in 94, when Sony with a disk drive was sent. As a result, Sony, along with PlayStation, became one of the most important competitors of Nintendo. And they abandoned the cartridges only on GameCube.
And do not forget the epic failure of Wii U, for which I urgently had to sculpt a new console.
In general, Nintendo knows how. it can and practices the same)
Or maybe the other way around? Just https://nonukgamblingsites.co.uk/review/slots-amigo/ Nintedo with her refusals (albeit unintentional) gave life now to all the usual RS gaming? Estimate what would happen if Then They sheltered Romero?
Dum? Wolfenstein? Yes, even a raid? – "No, have not heard. "
Everything that is done is all for the better!
Romero as always) for starters: co -founder! Further, actually “defeat this problem”, having written the engine, it turned out Karmaka (like all other ID engines)! Demon with the first level gathered again with a pocket and a hall.
Well, the guys were not so naive to show (and give) to the leadership of Softdisk such a powerful technology. With Nintendo, they communicated personally. Yes, and the Commander Keen was made secretly using SoftDisk production capacities for personal purposes.
Taking this opportunity, I want to recommend to everyone interested in the book of Masters of Doom, where, in addition to the biography of both junas, you can get a lot of interesting things about the dawn of the playful and golden 90s!
I remember looking at the history of the development. The bottom line is that at the time when Ninted was on a horse, she was a monopolist in fact. Then some anti-monopoly laws were adopted and Ninted was greatly squeezed. Just appeared Soga 16 bit and some other people about whom not everyone in our country heard in our country.
Time showed that Nintenda could create everything that she wanted so far she had a special situation. As soon as this situation has gone, everything begins to pour. Japanese were not ready for competition. And after the 20th-shher of years, Ninteda is still worn with her Mario, Donky Kong and other zoo.
So their stupid and destroyed them.
Nintendo even to my smartphone, which I do not consider at all as a game platform – and then not a competitor. Developers of games for smartphones and now have more influence on the industry than this autistic club. And about such mastodons as PS, which does not even affect, but largely determines and decides in which direction this market will move on – and it is ridiculous to speak in this aspect completely in this aspect.
Well, the “talented guy” Romero, if he had sheltered him, he had shelt. He would be tied to his hands and feet, not allowing to experiment and improvise. Or still would leave them.
Not even ready for competition, but simply stupidity of the leadership. When already, having finished products, they refuse it and tear all contracts. Idiocy, as it is.
Or maybe the other way around? Just Nintedo with her refusals (albeit unintentional) gave life now to all the usual RS gaming
I am talking about the erroneity of the decisions of the Nintendo leadership. The stupidity of the authorities destroyed the seg. Nintendo keeps thanks to fans.
The console comes out next year, and nothing is known about it, except that it is powerful and there will be 30 games on it. Information zero. Just. Sony over the past year announced everything that was possible at the last exhibition even in the suski scored a fierce thrash in general, if only to announce something, and Nintendo keeps a grave silence.
And here there is one interesting point -wii U was released at the end of 2012. The new console comes out of them 2016. That is, the console’s life cycle turned out at four years old. And now the question is that someone will want to contact the new console and make AAA-Gigra on it, which are developed at least three years, if Nintedo may not succeed and they will again muddle a new console?
The first half of the 2000s was quite successful for Nintendo. Given their blunders in the 90s (quarreled with Sony, because of which they abandoned the CD-drive in the console, released the failure Virtua Boy), is very successful. Gameboy Advance, Nintendo Gamecube, Nintendo DS, 3DS. And on WII their famous controller WII Remote. The main feature of the WII Remote compared to competitors is the movement detector that allows players to manage the characters of the game and objects on the screen with the movement of the hand, or “pointing” to objects displayed on the screen. This is ensured by the operation of the accelerometer and the photosensitive matrix. In addition, various devices can be connected to the controller, thus expanding its capabilities. But then for some reason they began to stupid again for some reason. Wiiu started starting well, and then I got exhausted well, just instantly. And they managed to do it, despite the gamepad with a touch screen that gives a bunch of opportunities. And now Nintendo NX … promise a very powerful console (I7 Skylake processor), more powerful RS4 and Xboxone. But something is not enough for me personally, after WIIU.
Obviously, there was a bug burning the motherboard, so Romero prudently merged and stopped the record.
But nes isn’t it?
> And Atari at that time was already dead after the crisis of the video game!
Yes, the crisis crushed her, but she still released Atari Lynx, Atary Jaguar and so on.
This is the point. Did something to survive at least somehow. And she would compete with the large and rich Nintena, she could not. In fact practically monopoly. Then they tried it and decided to correct it through laws.
Well, imagine, a new photorealistic, high-polygonal mario, on a new gland. Ahrenet! Well, as I heard the Nintenda representation in Russia, this is from 3 to 5 half-drunk freelancers. They will not be indignant for the mind.
