Selling Mario to Italians: the untold story of Nintendo in Italy

History of VideogamesBy DamienOctober 3, 20205 Comments

Nobody in the 90s cared about the history of videogames: everyone just played them really. Truthfully though, back then the medium was still in its teenage years; it would be like expecting 15th century painters to organize an exhibition about Renaissance art. In 2021, videogames are approaching their middle age, consequently more and more documentaries…

Sega Technical Institute – the history & the games

Game Design Vault, History of VideogamesBy DamienAugust 20, 2020Leave a comment

Nintendo versus Sega. A battle for the ages that made many kids’ blood boil during the 90s, no holds barred bout fought via scathing slogans and – who could forget – the war of the bits. Eight bit, sixteen bits, Genesis does, Nintendon’t and so on. Even though Sega gave up the fight many years…

During the 80s and most of the 90s, console games were designed to appeal to a young audience, while home/personal computer titles were – usually – meant for an older public. Still, as most gamers know, this doesn’t imply in the slightest that console titles were simpler or, god forbid, kid friendly; Ninja Gaiden or…

Rings of Power – Naughty Dog’s last pure game

Game Design VaultBy DamienFebruary 29, 20204 Comments

In 20 years of gaming journalism I’ve written four articles about Rings of Power, even though this is my first in English. On one hand it will be a load off my shoulders if this is the last time I’m publishing something about this game. Maybe, finally, this time I will say everything I want…

Game Design VaultBy DamienJanuary 24, 2020Leave a comment

I had barely recovered from the Winter steam sale that here they go again with a new one! Well, this time I’m sticking to my guns and I won’t buy anything, or at least try to. Let’s go with the usual mix of genres and indie classics and relative unknown titles. CITIZENS OF EARTH Have…

Back from the dead with a vengeance! Ready to get back to the mafioso family, dude! Far out! Believe it or not but there was a time when Electronic Arts was not the evil colossus we’ve all grown to loathe, but a publisher and developer of titles way ahead of their time thanks to solid…
