Front Page About the Topic Why This Game? Resource Page Immediate Experience Embedded In Our Lives Emotional Engaging Dynamic and Kinetic Conventional and Experimental Speak to the Individual	This case study is to explore the aesthetic value of video games and establish possible critera for judging the medium. I will be exploring the Super Nintendo Entertainment System game "Chrono Trigger" published by Squaresoft. Areas of this game I will be exploring include the following catagories based loosely on Gilbert Seldes' The Seven Lively Arts: Giving Shape and Form to Immediate Experiences Deeply Embedded In Our Lives Emotionally Engaging - Plot/Story and Characters Dynamic and Kinetic - Responding and Ever Changing Environment Conventional and Experimental - Non Self-Indulgent Innovations Speaking to the Experience of the Individual These criteria were established by Dr. Henry Jenkins of MIT to discuss the aesthetics of video games. I will also include my own thoughts and observations. Use the menu on the left side to navigate the different sections of the site. The link "Front Page" will return you to this page.
