TÉLÉ START: 40 YEARS OF TV SHOWS ON VIDEO GAMES IN FRANCE

Nicolas Bonzom



 

Released in October 2020 by OMAKE BOOKS editions, the Presse Start book told the story of 40 years of video game magazines in France. It is now the turn of TV shows on video games to be scrutinized...


With Télé Start , discover the 40-year history of TV shows dedicated to video games!


From the precursors (Superdéfi, Microludic, Pixifoly, etc.) to the most popular ( Hugo Délire , Micro Kid's , Télévisator 2 , Cyberflash , La Planète de Donkey Kong , Le Journal des jeux vidéo , etc.), all of these shows marked the childhood of video game fans!

  • The first work entirely dedicated to the history of French television programs on video games!

  • The book also analyzes the TV channels entirely dedicated to video games (C:, Game One, No Life...), as well as the advertisements and cartoons of the time exploring this theme.

  • The 368-page book is intended to be very comprehensive by also highlighting other original programs, sometimes more confidential, from French-speaking countries (Luxembourg, Monaco, etc.) - For this book, the author has found animators, producers, directors and actors who participated in these programs. Nearly 25 sometimes renowned witnesses (Georges Beller, Jean-Michel Blottière, Alain Le Diberder, Fred Moulin, Marcus, Cyril Drevet, Karen Cheryl...) therefore tell exclusively for Télé Start, ten, twenty or thirty years later, behind the scenes of the creation of these often very innovative programs.

  • All the actors of the time therefore deliver their memories of these programs, sometimes without concession, often with a lot of humor and especially through a lot of crazy anecdotes.

  • You will learn for example:

  • How the journalist Jean-Michel Blottière succeeded in imposing the first TV magazine dedicated to video games, Micro Kid's?

  • How was Cléo, the lovely virtual creature who captivated Canal + viewers, born?

  • How did Nintendo release the rights to Donkey Kong to a French producer?

  • How did Medialab revolutionize the small screen with these computer-generated characters, animated in real time?
