Sierra computer company (1979-2008) R.I.P.

Hi there today I'm going to pay tribute to an old computer company called Sierra online before it got ruined by Vivendi company and then finally got completely taken over by Activision now I'm going to take you back in time to see what it used to be like.

(1979-1994) Sierras golden age
Back in the days when computers were invented There was 2 people that formed a Computer company Ken Williams and his wife Roberta Willians. They made games like Mystery House, The Wizard and the Princess, Mission Asteroid, Time Zone and The Dark crystal. Of course it was only a pausing picture typing game where you have to type the right words in order to move on but you couldn't move around like in the later games, the graphics were way old like a silent movie film. Then Roberta Williams made Kings Quest 1 and you can move your character in 4 directions but you had to type commands in order to pick stuff up and fight bad guys in certain ways and earn puzzle points. The graphics were very old and block pixels and there wasn't any talking yet but it had high pitched music and text dialog and some color. There were other games like Kings Quest 2 and 3 and Space Quest 1 and 2. When Kings Quest 4 was made the block pixels were alot smaller there was more color than ever and it had limited mouse clicking support, and it has nicer music but you still had to type in word commands, there were other games like Space Quest 3, Laura Bow: The Colonels bequest. Quest for glory 1, Kings Quest 1 remake. Most of the games we're good you didn't have to worry about swearing expect with some games but it had a few swear words and it was very rare to find naked woman pictures. Then the computer game Kings Quest 5 got made, It finally had real voice acting, word songs and the graphics were a little more advanced though not truly 3-D and but the typing commands have no longer been needed instead you used mouse support and picked different icons and clicked it over a certain spot. I was like that with Space Quest 4, Kings Quest 6 and 7. There were other kids games like the Incredible Machine, Dr. Brain series. But unfortunately other Sierra games that have been made started to have swearing, rude words and started to show some naked woman pictures.

(1994-1999) Sierras Silver age
When the video game rating system was created in 1994 it was for Nintendo games, Sega games, Playstation 1 games and PC computer games. The adventure games were made from 1984 to 1995 before it became 3-D action games and the adventure games with earning points has finally disappeared and they made 3-D games. But the Sierra company went downhill with making rated T and rated M games like bloody violent games, allowing swearing and naked pictures and stuff from hades. They made 3-D games until in 1999 they were forced to shutdown the Sierra online company putting people out of a job.

(2000-2008) Sierras bronze age
For 3 years after their 1999 shutdown they reorganized and merged with Vivendi games and they made Spyro the Dragon and Crash Bandicoot games and made The Hobbit and War of the rings but sadly their other video and computer games were bloody and violent, and had swearing and some naked pictures in those rated T and rated M games. And made online games that were violent and nasty. Then in 2008 Activision bought out both Vivendi and Sierra company and both of the companies shutdown for good and they are no longer around. Same thing happened with Midway games company (1958-2009) R.I.P that got bought out by Warner Bros. Now Activision owns the rights to Sierra computer games.

Sierra entertainment legacy R.I.P.
Even though the Sierra company is dead their video and computer games live on in CD roms and downloaded games but you can no longer get game help from the Sierra company. Now you can play their computer games in DOSBOX mode. Without people like Ken and Roberta Williams we would never have good adventure computer games. Thank you Roberta Williams for bringing the computer games into our lives may the old Sierra online company never be forgotten and that one day it will be brought back into a heavenly paradise without money restrictions, limitations and no more swearing or bad pictures, until then keep remembering.

Good Squaresoft and Enix R.I.P.

Hi there I'm doing an article for the Nintendo Squaresoft and Enix back in the good video game days. As you know the good family friendly Squaresoft and Enix has been dead for quite a while. They have turned into a company making swearing teen video games ever since they made playstation 1 games. Now here's a tribute for the good squaresoft back in the better days.

(Good Nintendo Squaresoft 1985-1996) R.I.P.
You're wondering what was Squaresoft like before they became trashy. Well to answer that they made good RPG games without any swearing, or nasty pictures in fact they weren't allowed to put bad stuff in video games and kids could play them without running into bad stuff. Ted Woolsey was the one who did a good job translating super nintendo games and ever since Ted Woolsey left Squaresoft in 1996 the company Squaresoft went downhill with very bad English translators.

The Nintendo games were Final Fantasy 1, Rad Racer 1 and 2, Kings Knight, 3-D Worldrunner
The Gameboy games are Final Fantasy Adventure (also know as Mana 1), Final Fantasy Legends 1, 2, 3 (also know as Saga series)
The Super Nintendo games were Final Fantasy 4, 6 and also Final Fantasy Mystic Quest, Secret of Mana, Breath of Fire 1, Chrono Trigger, Secret of Evermore, and Super Mario RPG.

Downfall of Teen Squaresoft playstation years (1997-2003)
After Super Mario RPG got made Squaresoft from (1997 to 2003) decided to make Playstation 1 games with a bunch of rated Teen games games that contained swearing, bloody scenes, talk of death and suicide, nasty war and violence and other Hades stuff, they allowed some inappropriate pictures to be in the nasty modern day Playstation Final Fantasy games and the later Mana and Chrono games, in fact these games corrupt peoples minds and brainwash them to being very bad. They also made a bad Final Fantasy movie. The only good game they made was Kingdom Hearts 1 with Disney before they finally merged with Enix in 2003.

Good Nintendo Enix (1985-1996) R.I.P.
Now about Enix they too used to make family friendly games and kids could play them without running into bad stuff. The games are Dragon Warrior 1,2,3,4 for Nintendo and they made super Nintendo games like Actraiser 1 and 2, SoulBlazer, E.V.O the search for Eden, The 7th Saga, Brian Lord, Paladins Quest, Illusion of Gaia, King Arther and the Knights of Justice, Robotrek, Ogre Battle 1.

Slow Downfall of Teen Enix (1997-2003)
After Playstation 1 came out Enix slowly went downhill with making Playstation games for Teens by having some swearing and some nasty violence, but they still had gameboy Dragon Warrior games and some other bad stuff and they finally merged with Squaresoft in 2003.

After the Merger of Teen Square-Enix (2003-present)
After the 2 companies merged they still continued to make trashy teen games like in the Playstation years still having swearing and bloody violence in Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest (what used to be known as Dragon Warrior) gamecube games, gameboy advance games, Playstation 2 games, Nintendo DS games and computer games and even more bad Final Fantasy movies. The only good games are Kingdom Hearts 2 and 3 from Disney. Now these days Square-Enix has focused on bad online games which I'm not a big fan of.
Even though Square-Enix has forgotten about family friendly games you can buy their old school kids Nintendo games of Good olden Day Final Fantasy and Secret of Mana through the Nintendo Wii Virtual download games.
Rest in Peace Nintendo Squaresoft (1983-1996) and Rest in Peace Nintendo Enix (1975-2003) may no one forget about the good games they brought to us and the golden years of Nintendo RPG games. Until then I hope for a better world without Swearing Teen games.

From Ben who values old school clean entertainment (This is my viewpoint only)
In my next article I will talk about the Sierra Online company that's now gone.

Other subjects non related to hovering

Even though this flat screen blog is for car copters I'm going to talk about other stuff such as my stories I'm working on, my music, my art pictures, and I'll pay tribute to the good old media that's now gone or replaced by bad media. My web site hoverage.com will not only focus on hoverboards and flying cars but it will also talk about 3-D holograms, my upcoming fictional paper books I'm working on with my songs, music, artwork pictures and I'll show tribute to old school media studios that are no longer running like Don Bluth studios, Sierra online, Midway games. I'll talk about my tribute to the old Disney channel from 1983 to 2002 before it became Teen Disney and Toon Disney Channel from 1998 to 2009 before it became Teen Disney XD. I'll also show tribute to classic Nintendo with the red logo from 1975 to 2006 before they became Teen Nintendo with the gray logo and a tribute to gameboy games from 1989 to 2007 before it got discontinued. I'll also talk about the old Nickelodeon 1979 to 2009 before it became Teen Nickelodeon and a Tribute to the old Cartoon Network before it became the CN block showing Teen and Adult junk. I'll also show my tribute to the old Nintendo Squaresoft and Enix in their good years (Enix 1975-1996) and (Squaresoft 1983-1996) when they made family friendly games before they became rotten in 1997 and made trashy Teen playstation games and finally merged into Square-Enix in 2003 still making trashy Teen games to this present day. So don't be surprised if I talk about other stuff and I'm doing it so you won't be bored with my same hover stuff and I'll talk nicely and not be negative. I'll let you know if my website hoverage.com is going to change so don't be surprised if I start having non-hover related pages.

Where's the 3-D hologram tabletop images

Hi there flat screener Internet people. Today I want to talk about my complaint about 3-D TV people are trying to sell to you I know it's not hover related but I just want to point out to you that 3-D TVs companies are trying to sell you is a ripoff and the reason is because you have to wear those stupid 3-D glasses. If you see my profile images then you'll know I wear normal eye glasses (note I don't wear contact lenses because I can't handle them.) I've had experiences where you go to those old 3-D movies that require you to wear special glasses but the experiences were awful because first of all I already wear glasses and putting on a second pair doesn't fit me well so I'm wearing 2 glasses at once over my 2 eyes. Second I get dizzy and get headaches after the 3-D so called movies I watched with those dorky 3-D glasses on. Then afterwards you have to give back the 3-D glasses to the ticket person to have washed and cleaned or worse thrown away. 3-D glasses are a big barrier to 3-D movies and 3-D TV shows. Because first of all it doesn't show true 3-D and it's not bright enough. Then there's that issue that 3-D glasses can get lost easily, or lens cracked or ear holder broken off, also if you want other people to watch with you like your friends or family members but you don't have anymore 3-D glasses then they have to miss out on seeing 3-D. So if anyone is planning on buying a 3-D TV please forget it because it costs over $2,000 and you have to pay about $200 just for one pair of 3-D glasses. The 3-D holograms I want to have is like in the movies Treasure Planet, Pinocchio 3000 and the TV shows Reboot, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Fast Forward where they have 3-D hologram images popping out of the tabletops and characters watching see 3-D holograms and none of them wear 3-D glasses. If 3-D holograms are going to have a real future then get rid of those silly glasses. Because one day we'll all look back at the 3-D TV with 3-D glasses as old school and inconvenient. Until that day comes when we can see true 3-D hologram without 3-D glasses then I'll be into it but in the meantime I'm sticking with flat screen TV and computer monitors. (I've never been a big fan of 3-D glasses)

Where's the hover age book is ready to be sold

Sorry I haven't updated my blog for a while I've been very busy getting my book written but it's now finished. This book is called "Where's the hover age?" from Ben. This book talks about the future that didn't arrive like hoverboards of Treasure Planet, Flying cars of Flubber, hovercars of Pinocchio 3000, 3-D hologram movies, TV shows, 3-D hologram video and computer games, 3-D hologram Internet sites, 3-D hologram cell phones that's all viewed with normal eyes (no silly 3-D glasses needed) on a table top just like Pinocchio 3000. It talks about some inventions that already exist like Video phones, Moving sidewalks and stairs, Vacuum tube travel that banks use today to give you money but not big enough for humans to travel. It also talks about weapons of the future that didn't come like laser blaster guns, energy bombs. It also talks about inventions that flopped like hot burning plasma swords, pillar raising houses, cities in a gigantic dome, hyper space travel, teleporting closets. It also talks about a heal mender scanner that we don't have to cure people with or the carbon meat maker machine that creates meat out of carbon and hydrogen molecules without ever hunting animals for meat. It also talks about the no money system and peace in the world that never worked out on this telestial sphere. I'm selling the paper book for $15.00 and I'll be making an ebook for $5.00 to download that you'll buy at my website hoverage.com sorry we're 10 years overtime in the 20th century.

Ben's Hover age video

This is a video interview I gave back in June 2009 about my plans for the hover age. Enjoy.




this is the type of vehicle you will find in the hover age:

Bens copter car pictures

Bens roadable helicraft.
Hello flat screen Internet surfers. I've finally got pictures to show you of my copter car. My concept is to make wheel cars become copter cars. In these pictures it shows the concept for folding the make copter blades in half that is centered. The idea for this is the wheel car goes to the heliport or wide open field and the folded blades extend out and the tail rotor retracts out and then they spin very fast like the Life Flight bladed helicopter from Utah Valley Hospital does or the robinson bladed helicopters from the Utah airport do. Where they spin their blades real fast and it causes it to lift off the ground and fly up and fly all over the place in 6 directions and they can air brake, backup and hover still in midair and even takeoff and land vertically without the need for airport runways. My copter car will do exact same thing. But the only difference is when it lands and the blades come to a complete stop, it will fold up its main blades and retract in the tail rotor and then drive out of the heliport or the airport and continue its journey on the grounded highway or the I-15 grounded freeway and drive around on the town or city streets and you can even park it in your garage. Now the reason why I want to make a roadable helicopter is because I've been watching movies like "The Absent Minded Professor" "Son of Flubber" and the recent "Flubber" remake movies where Ned Brainard makes Flubber for super jumping shoes and his wheel car fly like a helicopter. Also I've watched a TV episode called "Alvin and the Chipmunks: Cadents Regrets" Where they have a copter jeep that drives in wheel mode and opens out the helicopter blades and flies up in the sky and then lands. You can find this episode on "The Alvin edition" DVD. In the past when I was a kid and a teenager growing up in Utah I had to ride in a wheel car that has got stuck in traffic jams and road closing sign barriers because the road fixers at work have to maintain the grounded roads for wheel cars to drive on. Also you can only drive on the grounded roads because the wheel cars are not usually designed for off road use very inconvenient. If you wanted to fly to other states in America like Las Vegas, or Denver you had to drive on the freeway to the winged airport and leave your wheel car behind. Then you had to take your luggage out of your wheel car and drag it through the airport mall. And give it to the luggage handlers workers and hope they take good care of it. You have to go to the plane ticket desk to show your ticket and go through security scanners so you don't carry threatening weapons on board. Then you have to rush through the airport hoping you make your winged airplane flight or you have to wait for 1 hour for your winged airplane to arrive. Sometimes it would get canceled or delayed. Even when you get on the winged airplane you have to put up with annoying people on board and the winged airplane takes like 30 minutes or 1 hour just for the winged airplane to roll and fly on the runway. The runways have to be fixed by the road fixers. The winged airplanes have to aim their landing just right or they crash land. Once your safely on the ground you have to wait for 10 minutes for the winged airplane to come to the loading docks and then you walk through the airport mall to get your luggage and you have to wait for a wheel car ride or take the wheel bus to get to town. People have lived liked that throughout most of the 20th century and the funny thing is they're still doing in the 20th century overtime decade. This copter car if tests prove to work well, then I'll make a roadable helicopter from scratch and replace the 20th century helicopters that we have today. This is only for helicopter pilots to fly. Not for airplane pilots or common drivers.
I'll have more updates on this roadable helicopter and I'll talk about self magnetic hoverboards and hovercars in my next update.
