Videogame history is not just a history of one successful
technology replacing the next. It is also a history of platforms
and communities that never quite made it; that struggled to make
their voices heard; that aggravated against the conventions of the
day; and that never enjoyed the commercial success or recognition
of their major counterparts. In Minor Platforms in Videogame
History, Benjamin Nicoll argues that 'minor' videogame histories
are anything but insignificant. Through an analysis of
transitional, decolonial, imaginary, residual, and minor videogame
platforms, Nicoll highlights moments of difference and
discontinuity in videogame history. From the domestication of
vector graphics in the early years of videogame consoles to the
'cloning' of Japanese computer games in South Korea in the 1980s,
this book explores case studies that challenge taken-for-granted
approaches to videogames, platforms, and their histories.
