Pāʻani Pūnaewele - Mai ka MUD i ka Arcade
I nā makahiki he iwakālua i hala aku nei, noho au i loko o ka lua o koʻu kaikoʻeke me ka nānā ʻana iā Philip i ka wā he ʻelima mau makahiki e hoʻokani leo nui ana i kona tūtū wahine ma kāna pāʻani punahele - Pac Man. Ma hope o kāna lanakila ʻekolu, ua hāʻawi ʻo Phil i kāna kupuna wahine i kahi ʻano puʻupuʻu a nīnau aku, ‘Geeze, Grammy, ʻaʻole ʻoe i pāʻani iā Pac Man i kou wā kamaliʻi?’
ʻIke wau ʻaʻole wau i pāʻani i Pac Man ma ke ʻano he kamaliʻi. No ka hanauna Pong wau. Ua loaʻa iaʻu koʻu manawa e palaki ai i koʻu mākau ʻai ʻuhane no ka hapahā o kahi pāʻani i ka Student Union i koʻu makahiki mua ma ke koleke. I ka manawa a Phil liʻiliʻi e hoʻopunipuni nei i kona kupuna wahine (ua hoʻokau ʻo ia iā ia ma Advanced ʻoiai ʻo ia e pāʻani maʻalahi - a poina iā ia ke haʻi aku iā ia e ʻai ʻoe i nā pila mana i mea e ʻai ai i nā ʻuhane), ʻo ka honua o ka pāʻani ma kahi ʻōwili e hōʻiliʻili maʻalahi i ka manawa hou me kēlā me kēia mahina. Ua hoʻomaka nā ʻoihana e like me Nintendo a me Sony ma ka unuhi ʻana i nā pāʻani arcade e hōʻoluʻolu - akā ua haʻalele koke i kā lākou kuhikuhi ponoʻī. I loko o nā makahiki he ʻumi wale nō, ua lilo ka ʻoihana pāʻani kekahi o nā lālā ulu wikiwiki a me nā ʻoi loa o ka ʻoihana ʻenehana. Ua lawe ka pilina i ka pāʻani ʻana i kahi kiʻekiʻe - ke hoʻopili nei i ka Pūnaewele hoʻonui i kāu kumu o ka hoʻokūkū mai kāu arcade kaiāulu i ka honua holoʻokoʻa.
Akā ʻaʻole pili ka pilina ma ka Pūnaewele puni honua. ʻO kekahi o nā pilikia me ka pāʻani ʻana i nā pāʻani console i kākau ʻia no ka Playstation, ka GameCube a i ʻole ʻo Xbox e pono iā ʻoe e ʻAWAI i kahi console e pāʻani ai. E hoʻokomo iā Macromedia Flash a me Sun Java, nā plug-ins i makemake nui ʻia ʻelua no nā pūnaewele pūnaewele. Ua haku ʻia ʻo Java i ke ʻano o ka papahana papahana cross-platform i hoʻolālā ʻia e holo i kāu polokalamu kele pūnaewele ʻoiai ke ʻano o ka ʻōnaehana āu e hoʻohana nei. ʻO kā Macromedia polokalamu uila Flash ka ʻoi loa paha i kākoʻo ʻia a hoʻonohonoho ʻia i ka plug-in pūnaewele i ka honua. I loko o kekahi mau makahiki pōkole wale nō, ua lōʻihi ka lōʻihi o ka hele mai o nā paepae ʻelua mai nā kiʻi paʻi kiʻi pōpō ʻoi loa i nā kiʻi 3-D kupaianaha loa.
ʻAʻole he mea kupanaha, ʻo ka nalu mua o nā pāʻani pūnaewele e hoʻouka ʻia e Flash a me Java i kākau hou ʻia o kekahi o nā punahele kahiko - mai nā kūlana a i nā retro - a me kekahi e komo ana inā nā pāʻani lapuwale e like me Swat the Clown. Hoʻopili lākou i nā mea nāna mākou i hopu i ka hapa nui o kēlā mau makahiki gula o ka hala ʻana o 70s a me nā 80 mau mua, a hānai i ka makemake o kēia manawa no nā mea a pau i hala, akā ʻaʻole lākou wale nā pāʻani e pāʻani ai ma ka pūnaewele.
I ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, e ʻike ʻoe i nā mea āpau mai nā pāʻani papa maʻamau e like me Stratego i nā pāʻani casino i nā puzzles a me nā shootʻem-ups. ʻO kekahi multiplayer - he nui hou aku i hoʻolālā ʻia no hoʻokahi mea pāʻani e kūʻē i ka kamepiula - e like me nā pāʻani PC a me nā pāʻani console. He aha nā pāʻani i pāʻani nui ʻia ma ka pūnaewele i kēia mau lā?
Aia nā pāʻani Hale Piliwaiwai ma ke kūlana kiʻekiʻe, me ka poker kūkākūkā pūnaewele kekahi o nā hana i makemake nui ʻia ma ka pūnaewele. He paʻakikī ke pale aku i ka manawa kūpono e piliwaiwai, a ke hāʻawi kālā nei nā casino pūnaewele - i nā spades. Eia nō naʻe, nui nā wahi e hoʻāʻo ai i kou mākau ma ka poker, ʻeleʻele a me nā pāʻani casino ʻē aʻe me ka ʻole o ka lilo kālā.
ʻO Retro Arcade Pāʻani kahi kekona kokoke. Ma hope o ke kaila no nā mea retro, ʻike kahi hanauna hou i ka leʻaleʻa o ka hoʻāʻo ʻana e hoʻokele i nā palaka e waiho ana i kahi ma mua o ko lākou kau ʻana i ka piko o ka pale, a me ke kī ʻana iā Asteroids ke kokoke lākou i kāu moku ākea. Inā ʻaʻole e lana i kāu moku, aia nō ʻo Prince of Persia, Frogger, Donkey Kong a me nā pāʻani ʻē aʻe i hoʻonani mua i nā arcade a me nā lumi lumi ma nā wahi āpau.
Pākuʻi ʻia nā pāʻani Puzzle i nā pāʻani arcade maʻamau, me nā papa like me Tetris, Hoʻohui 4 a me Stratego i ka laina ma waena o nā pāʻani papa maʻamau a me nā mea maikaʻi o nā pāʻani arcade. Holo lākou mai ka leʻaleʻa o ka hoʻopili ʻana i nā kinikini i ka lālani e hoʻohuli i nā kālā e holoi i kahi papa holoʻokoʻa o nā ʻenemi o kou hoa paio me hoʻokahi neʻe ma Reversi.
ʻAʻole pau nā pāʻani Pāʻani leʻaleʻa. ʻOiai mālama ka pâʻani kinipōpō hīnaʻi a me nā pāʻani kinipōpō hīnaʻi i nā Tycoons, hiki i kekahi o mākou ke hoʻolilo i mau hola e pāʻani ana iā Mini Putt Golf a me Pong. Hiki iā ʻoe ke heʻe i loko o ka pā o ka paila a pā i kekahi o ka pā kinipōpō me kekahi o nā pāʻani kinipōpō hīnaʻi, a i ʻole hele i ke gula i ka heihei ʻana, ka skateboarding a i ʻole ka tennis. Inā ʻoe i loko o kahi ʻano lapuwale, hiki iā ʻoe ke pāʻani i nā hoʻolālā me nā penguins ma ke ʻano he slider, a i ʻole whack-a-mole me kāu ʻiole.
