One of my most earliest memories from when I was a kid was the last time I played this game. In the late 90’s, I thought of this game as state of the art and considering how far video games have come from then, this was simply a prelude to far more expansive set of “interactive videos”. The puzzles were what really drew me with this game which was fun and of course made me feel like a genius, especially when my older brother couldn’t even figure out the simplest tasks.
This history of Moving Image from as early as the Kinotoscope to the introduction of QuickTime in 1991 and so on, moving image is a technological development that replays the emergence of cinema. We think of moving image as video and movies, but really it is literally much broader than that. It is not just video work but can extend further into interactive games or even earlier, the Zoetrope can be labeled as an early form of GIF art that loops an image. Even if it is still images within a spinning device, it is still giving the illusion of moving as it loops continuously until forced to stop.
