Formula One Video Games
Ever since ''Pole Position'' in 1982, Formula One (F1) has always played a part of the racing genre in video games. Early Formula One games were typically arcade racing games, before '' Formula One Grand Prix'' (1991) popularized Formula One racing simulations on home computers. History Early roots and arcade games (1970s–1990s) The roots of Formula One games can be traced back to the 1970s, with arcade racing games such as '' Speed Race'' and ''Gran Trak 10'' which depicted F1-like cars going on a race track. '' F-1'' (1976) by Namco has been cited as the first true Formula One arcade game. However, it was an electro-mechanical game, rather than an arcade video game. The first successful Formula One video game in arcade history was '' Pole Position'' (1982), by Namco. In ''Pole Position'', the player has to complete a lap in a certain amount of time in order to qualify for a race at the Fuji racetrack. After qualifying, the player had to face other cars in a championship ra ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Review Aggregator
A review aggregator is a system that collects reviews of products and services (such as films, books, video games, software, hardware, and cars). This system stores the reviews and uses them for purposes such as supporting a website where users can view the reviews, selling information to third parties about consumer tendencies, and creating databases for companies to learn about their actual and potential customers. The system enables users to easily compare many different reviews of the same work. Many of these systems calculate an approximate average assessment, usually based on assigning a numeric value to each review related to its degree of positive rating of the work. Review aggregation sites have begun to have economic effects on the companies that create or manufacture items under review, especially in certain categories such as electronic games, which are expensive to purchase. Some companies have tied royalty payment rates and employee bonuses to aggregate scores, and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
