Mindjack Magazine: Coercion by Douglas Rushkoff
Complete text of chapter seven: 'Virtual Marketing'.

  • The effects of the keyboard, the joystick, and the remote control had to be reversed.

  • I saw the computer keyboard and mouse as our best weapons in the effort to turn around the mind-numbing impact of traditional media.

  • Just as the remote control had deconstructed the television image and the joystick demystified it, the keyboard and mouse spawned a new generation of do-it-yourself media tacticians.

  • The first step was to reverse the do-it-yourself attitude that the computer keyboard had provoked, and restore the supremacy of commercial content over social contact.

  • The left joystick and the buttons are hardwired into into the backside of an old computer keyboard, the kind that had actual solder connections, and real switches in the keys.

  • Some dedicated gamers dispense with the keyboard itself, and wire directly into the "matrix", the little brain in the keyboard.

  • The center joystick is wired into a cheap six-button gamepad to hold down "ghosting" problems (where too many keyboard keys being pressed at one time produce odd results.) Each cluster's two red buttons are "A" and "B", the traditional buttons for old arcade games.The left cluster is labeled "MCP" and is Player Two, with that joystick wired to the "arrow keys".

  • Some MAME games actually flash the keyboard's "CapLock" and "NumLock" LED's to indicate one and two player credits, so those lines were run from the keyboard to indicator lights over the one and two player buttons.

  • (I have two kids who love gadgets as much as I do!) Upper-left three button cluster are MAME housekeeping functions; <ESC> to break out of games, <Tab> for internal game specs, and <P> for MAME's pause function, a great feature when it's time for dinner and you just hit 1, 000, 000 on Defender! I also wired in a footpedel tied to the "up arrow" key on the keyboard for racing games, and there is even a "plunger" button on the case front for pinball games! Art for Art's Sake , that old Disney warhorse, seemed a perfect theme; nobody else had used it yet, and it was SO 80's.
