Video G crash of 1977/83

F and R were wiped out because of their competitors prices, but only Atari amd a few others still stayed. in 1983 the 77 crash was only a "test run" for what this year will bring. PC's came and that caused a marked block by declining sales and not getting their stock cleared out in time ment that contracts were broken. The N*intendo was also a key bringing its company N*intendo back into the field. NOTE! a full version is available in text, there are a total of 12 pages now and its has been edited.

Developers

Third party developers Video G developers fall into one of three categories: third-party developers, in-house developers, and independents. Developers usually employ a staff of programmers, G designers, artists, sound engineers, producers and testers. usually called upon by a video G publisher to develop a title for one or more systems. Its common for a developer to have several teams working on different titles for different publishers. third-party developers tend to be smaller and comprised of a single, close team. one cancelled G can be bad to adeveloper. Because many of the smaller development companies last only a few years or months. noe false move and the entire business can be wiped out because the person who was paying for the G to be developed had withdrawed his contract/ amd or is not happy with the level of service he is receiving. In house Many video G publishers also have large in-house development teams, or in-house developers. they can number from a few to the dozens. In the case of MMORPG'S, they can number in the hundreds. tend to have greater freedom as to design and content of a G than do third-party developers. publishers tend to be more forgiving of their own development teams going over budget and missing deadlines, e.g. Neversoft the developer of Tony Hawks, Activision which also helped to make Tony Hawks. and Luxoflux who helped to make streets of LA. Independant are typically small software developers that self-publish their G'S, often relying on the Internet and word of mouth for publicity. Without the huge marketing budgets of mainstream publishers, their products never get as much recognition or popular acclaim as those of larger publishers.they are free to explore experimental themes and styles of GP
