20,000 Century and not out!

   



  • Iwatani was born in the Meguro ward of Tokyo, Japan. He joined the computer software company Namco in 1977, where he started his career in the video game business. There, he came up with the idea for a game called "Puck-Man" and in 1980, he, along with programmer Shigeo Funaki , a hardware engineer, a cabinet designer and Toshio Kai  for sound and music, finished the game. It was released to the Japanese public on May 22 of that year, where it became a huge success. It caught the attention of arcade-game manufacturer Midway, who bought the United States rights for the game and released the game in the U.S. as "X", for fear that kids might deface a Puck-Man cabinet by changing the 'P' to an 'F'. Due to its innovative concept and continuing international popularity, it is regarded as one of the all-time classic video games. Iwatani returned to his"X" roots in 2007 when he developed "X" Championship Edition for the Xbox 360, which he states is the final game he will develop.

  • Iwatani went on to create a few other video games, including Libble Rabble, but none of them reached the amount of success that "X" did. He was promoted within the ranks of Namco, eventually being responsible for overseeing the administration of the company. In a VH-1 Game Break interview, Iwatani said he did not personally profit from the creation of "X" , saying, "The truth of the matter is, there were no rewards per se for the success of "X". I was just an employee. There was no change in my salary, no bonus, no official citation of any kind." From April 2005 he taught the subject of Character Design Studies at Osaka University of Arts as visiting professor. Iwatani left Namco in March 2007 to become a full-time lecturer at Tokyo Polytechnic University.
  •      On June 2, 2010 just before visiting an event called the Festival of Games in the Netherlands, Iwatani was photographed showing the original sketches of "X", making it the first public appearance of these designs.The next day, June 3, 2010, at the Festival of Games, Iwatani received a certificate from Guinness World Records for "X" having the most "coin-operated arcade machines" installed world wide: 293,822. The record was set and recognized in 2005, and recorded in the Guinness World Records: Gamer's Edition 2008.

  • "X" is one of the earliest arcade video games; it is a tennis sports game featuring simple two-dimensional graphics. While other arcade video games such as Computer Space came before it, "X" was one of the first video games to reach mainstream popularity. The aim is to defeat the opponent in a simulated table tennis game by earning a higher score.

  •  The game was originally manufactured by Atari Incorporated (Atari), who released it in 1972. Allan Alcorn created "X" as a training exercise assigned to him by Atari co-founder Nolan Bushnell. Bushnell based the idea on an electronic "X" game included in the Magnavox Odyssey, which later resulted in a lawsuit against Atari. Surprised by the quality of Alcorn's work, Bushnell and Dabney decided to manufacture the game.

  • "X" quickly became a success in a damn time and is the first commercially successful video game, which led to the start of the video game industry. Soon after its release, several companies began producing games that copied "X" 's gameplay, and eventually released new types of games. As a result, Atari encouraged its staff to produce more innovative games. The company released several sequels that built upon the original's gameplay by adding new features. During the 1975 Christmas season, Atari released a home version of "X" exclusively through Sears retail stores. It was also a commercial success and led to numerous copies. The game has been remade on numerous home and portable platforms following its release. "X" has been referenced and parodied in multiple television shows and video games, and has been a part of several video game and cultural exhibitions.

1972__________________ massacre

  • The group's name is derived from the Black September conflict begun on 16 September 1970, when King Hussein of Jordan declared military rule in response to a fedayeen coup d’état to seize his kingdom  — resulting in the deaths or expulsion of thousands of Palestinians from Jordan. The BSO began as a small cell of Fatah men determined to take revenge upon King Hussein and the Jordanian army. Recruits from the PFLP, as-Sa'iqa, and other groups also joined.

    • Initially, most of its members were dissidents within Fatah who had been close to Abu Ali Iyad, the commander of Fatah forces in northern Jordan who continued to fight the Jordanian Army after the PLO leadership withdrew. He was killed, allegedly through execution, by Jordanian forces on 23 July 1971.It was alleged by them that the Jordanian prime minister at the time, Wasfi al-Tal, was personally responsible for his torture and death.

    • Their other Attacks are:
    1. 28 November 1971: the assassination of Jordan's prime minister, Wasfi Tel, in retaliation for the expulsion of the PLO from Jordan in 1970-71;
    2. December 1971: attempted assassination of Zeid al Rifai, Jordan's ambassador to London and former chief of the Jordanian royal court;
    3. 6 February 1972: sabotage of a West German electrical installation and gas plants in Ravenstein and Ommen in the Netherlands and in Hamburg in West Germany;
    4. 8 May 1972: hijacking of a Belgian aircraft, Sabena Flight 572, flying from Vienna to Lod.
    5. September and October 1972: dozens of letter bombs were sent from Amsterdam to Israeli diplomatic posts around the world, killing Israeli Agricultural Counselor Ami Shachori in Britain.[11]
    6. 1 March 1973: attack on the Saudi embassy in Khartoum, killing Cleo Noel, United States Chief of Mission to Sudan, George Curtis Moore, the US Deputy Chief of Mission to Sudan, and Guy Eid, the Belgian chargé d'affaires to Sudan
    7. Main article: 1973 Khartoum diplomatic assassinations
    8. 2 March 1973 1973 New York bomb plot
    9. 5 August 1973: two Palestinian militants claiming affiliation with Black September open fire on a passenger lounge in an Athens airport, killing 3 and wounding 55. A Lufthansa Boeing 737 is hijacked in December to demand that the gunmen be freed from Greek custody.
    What is their most notorious plot?
                                       Ans:The group's most infamous operation was the killing of 11 Israeli athletes, nine of whom were first taken hostage, and the killing of a German police officer, during the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich. Black September's official name for the operation was "Ikrit and Biram", after the names of two Palestinian Christian villages whose residents had been killed or expelled by the Israeli military Haganah in 1948.

                  • "X" founder Koo In-Hwoi established Lak-Hui Chemical Industrial Corp. in 1947.In 1952, Lak-Hui (pronounced "Lucky", currently LG Chem) became the first Korean company to enter the plastic industry. As the company expanded its plastic business, it established GoldStar Co. Ltd. (currently "X" Electronics Inc.) in 1958. Both companies Lucky and GoldStar merged and formed Lucky-Goldstar.
                  • GoldStar produced South Korea's first radio. Many consumer electronics were sold under the brand name GoldStar, while some other household products (not available outside South Korea) were sold under the brand name of Lucky. The Lucky brand was famous for hygiene products such as soaps and HiTi laundry detergents, but the brand was mostly associated with its Lucky and Perioe toothpaste. Even today, "X" continues to manufacture some of these products for the South Korean market, such as laundry detergent.
                  • In 1995, to compete better in the Western market, the Lucky-Goldstar Corporation was renamed "X". The company also associates the letters "X" with the company's tagline "Y", which is actually a backronym. Since 2009, "X" has owned the domain name "X".com.In 1996 "X" formed a joint venture with IBM; it was later terminated.On 1 April 2000, "X" Chemical was split into three separate companies, namely "X"CI, "X" Chem, and "X" Household & Health Care. Later, in July 2007, "X" Chem merged with "X" Petrochemical.

                  • Bayer AG is a German chemical and pharmaceutical company founded in Barmen (today a part of Wuppertal), Germany in 1863. It is headquartered in Leverkusen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany and well known for its original brand of aspirin. Bayer marketed "X" in 1895 and invented "Y" in 1897. The company was 150 years old on 1 August 2013.
                  • Bayer's first major product was acetylsalicylic acid (originally discovered by French chemist Charles Frederic Gerhardt in 1853), a modification of salicylic acid or salicin, a folk remedy found in the bark of the willow plant. By 1899, Bayer's trademark "Y" was registered worldwide for Bayer's brand of acetylsalicylic acid, but because of the confiscation of Bayer's US assets and trademarks during World War I by the United States – and the subsequent widespread usage of the word to describe all brands of the compound —, "Y" lost its trademark status in the United States, France, and the United Kingdom. It is now widely used in the US, UK, and France for all brands of the drug. However in over 80 other countries, such as Canada, Mexico, Germany, and Switzerland, it is still a registered trademark of Bayer.
                  • In 1904, the Bayer company introduced the Bayer cross as its corporate logo. Because Bayer's 
                  • "Y" was sold through pharmacists and doctors only, and the company could not put its own packaging on the drug, the Bayer cross was imprinted on the actual tablets, so that customers would associate Bayer with its "Y".

                  1. "Y", an analgesic, antipyretic, and anticoagulant medicine, arguably was the most commercially successful drug ever.
                  2. "X" (diacetylmorphine), a now illegal addictive drug, was originally sold as a cough treatment. "X" was a Bayer trademark, until World War I.
                  3. Prontosil, the first sulfonamide.
                  4. Ciprofloxacin, an antibiotic used to treat anthrax and urinary tract infections.
                  5. Levitra, a treatment for erectile dysfunction.
                  6. Polyurethane, a very versatile polymer used for a wide variety of applications
                  7. Polycarbonate, the material used in plasic products, CDs, for example (Makrolon).
                  8. Suramin
                  9. Parathion, insecticide
                  10. Propoxur, insecticide

Under his guidance, Amazon.com became the largest retailer on the World Wide Web and a top model for Internet sales."X" founded Amazon.com in 1994 after making a cross-country drive from New York to Seattle, writing up the Amazon business plan on the way. He initially set up the company in his garage.He had left his "well-paying job" at a New York City hedge fund when he "learned about the rapid growth in Internet use", which coincided with a "then-new U.S. Supreme Court ruling that online retailers would not have to collect sales taxes in states where they lack a physical presence"; he had headed to Washington because its relatively small population meant fewer of his future customers would have to pay sales tax.
                  According to Forbes, Amazon's shares "defied gravity" in 2011, jumping 55% and adding $6.5 billion to "X"'s net worth.
