NINA POPE (web review) ATLAS MAGAZINE In the preamble to Atlas 6, the editors talk of the lure of dynamic html that bought them back to their screens after a summer vacation away.

PAUL GROOT All those senselessly lovely clickable buttons It's evidently the lot of every new medium: the grabbing desire with which technological opportunity is seized. Hollywood made itself master of the film, Hitler of the radio, advertising took over TV, Microsoft took the Net. |

The best starting point from which to understand the impact of emulation is a standard thought experiment: step into the time machine and zap to the year 1983, preferably in the neighbourhood of an arcade where you - in your 1983 version - are throwing your pocket money into all sorts of video games. |
