Amasuntswana kunye neebhayithi yikholamu yeveki apho uMhleli oyiNtloko uRobert esabelana ngeengcinga zakhe malunga nemidlalo yevidiyo kunye noshishino ngeCawa eyonqenayo. Ukukhanya kokufundwa kwemini yokuphumla, i-Bits & Bytes imfutshane, ukuya kwinqanaba, kunye nento yokufunda ngesiselo esimnandi.
Ndizakuxoxa ngenye yezona zinto zinkulu zokuzisola komdlalo wevidiyo namhlanje.
Xa mna nodadewethu sasingabantwana, uninzi lwengqokelela yethu yemidlalo yevidiyo yayikwindlu kamakhulu wethu. Umakazi wethu uLinda, ngezizathu esingazange siziqonde ngokupheleleyo, wayethanda ukugcina iibhokisi zayo yonke into esike sayithenga. Oku kuquka imidlalo yevidiyo. Zonke ii-consoles zethu zisenazo iibhokisi zazo. Ngaphezu koko, uninzi lwemidlalo lusenazo iibhokisi zazo.
Phakathi kweso sixa kufuneka sibe yimidlalo yethu yeNintendo 64. Apha kulapho ukuzisola kungena khona.
Igumbi likaLinda lalihlala imidlalo. Ngaphantsi kweTV kwiziko lakhe lokuzonwabisa kulapho ibhokisi ye-N64 emva kwebhokisi ye-N64 yayifakwe ngononophelo. Noko ke, ngenye imini le ndawo yazala ziibhokisi. Kwakungekho ndawo yaneleyo. Ndathatha isigqibo, ngobulumko bam obungenasiphelo, ukuba ndithathe iibhokisi zemidlalo esingayithandiyo kwaye ndiyitshabalalise.
Usisi wam ethandabuza, sasika ngaphambili nasemva kweebhokisi esasingayi kuzigcina. Ngelo xesha, ndandicinga ukuba licebo elilungileyo.
Ngempelaveki besikwa makhulu sibuthene silusapho. Ndakhumbula ukuba uLinda waye wathatha iibhokisi zeN64 ezazishiyekile wazibekela bucala ukuze ndigoduke nazo. Ndahlala egumbini lakhe, apho sisahlanganisana khona ukuze sidlale imidlalo yevidiyo, sahluza amatyala aseleyo. Sigcine imali efanelekileyo—Ocarina wexesha, Imaski kaMajora, URayman 2, yaye Super Mario 64, ukubalula ezimbalwa. Yayizibhokisi zemidlalo esazitshabalalisayo ezibuhlungu kakhulu, nangona kunjalo.
Ndiye ndaphethula ngapha nangapha ngaphambili nangemva esizigcinileyo. Uvalo lwangena.
Ibali likaYoshi. Idonki Kong 64. Ukuvuna iNyanga 64. Iqhawe leBomberman. Umdyarho wamaza 64. Racing Beetle Adventure. Olu luhlu lwaqhubeka luqhubeka. Kwakubuhlungu gqitha. Yiyiphi esenokubonakala ingaqhelekanga kwabanye, akunjalo? Yintoni embi ngokulahla ikhadibhodi engenamsebenzi?
Kum, ezi bhokisi zichasene ngqo nokungenamsebenzi. Iibhokisi zemidlalo luhlobo lwe-ephemera ehlala ikhutshwa ngokukhawuleza nangokungenalusini ngabathengi abaninzi. Ijongwa njengento engaphaya kokupakishwa, njengeengxowa ze-polypropylene chip okanye isisongelo se-Snickers bar, abantu abaninzi bazijonga iibhokisi zemidlalo njengenkunkuma eninzi. Andikwazi ukuzibamba kodwa ndibabone njengento enomdla ngakumbi. Uyilo lweebhokisi ngokwazo zithetha kwixesha apho zivela khona. Kwimeko yeNintendo 64, ukupakishwa kugxunyekwe kwii-'90s nakwi-early-2000s zoyilo lweemvakalelo, ukusuka kumbala kunye nokhetho lwefonti ukuya kwi-3D yonikezelo lwabalinganiswa emacaleni.
Azibonakali ngathi zininzi, kodwa ibhokisi yomdlalo iyinxalenye yamava okudlala umdlalo njengayo nayiphi na enye into, ngakumbi ukusuka kwixesha apho iNintendo 64 yayikwinqanaba eliphezulu. Ebutsheni bam, ndandidla ngokuhlala emotweni xa siphuma evenkileni okanye evenkileni ndize ndibambe ibhokisi ezandleni zam ukusuka apho ukuya ekhaya, ndiyijike, ndijonge ubugcisa, ndifunde umbhalo ngasemva. Incwadi yemiyalelo ngaphakathi yayimangalisa ngokufanayo-ubugcisa obungakumbi, umbhalo ongaphezulu, ulwakhiwo olungakumbi de kube ngumzuzu apho ekugqibeleni ndandivula amandla ndize ndidlale. Ngamanye amaxesha ulindelo lwalungcono kunomdlalo ngokwawo!
Kulihlazo ukucinga ngento ebilahlekile, ngakumbi kuba uninzi lwemidlalo ibingacacanga kwaye, ngenxa yoko, kunzima ukuza ngeebhokisi zabo ngoku, ngenxa yoko. Okuvuyisayo kukuba, into eseleyo iseyinto entle kakhulu. Isenokuba yinkunkuma kwabanye, kodwa kum kunye nodadewethu ezi bhokisi zizikhumbuzo ezibalulekileyo zexesha elidlulileyo. Iibhokisi zeenkumbulo.
