The same idea is being brought to PC via Flight of Fancy, a game where you control a dragon by moving your arms. Sony's EyeToy has sold over 3 million units, and provides a new, fun experience for the user. One of those schemes could be using cameras. In short, I believe the industry is ripe for some fundamentally new control schemes. Most PC games are best played with a mouse and keyboard, and even a lot of the "game commander" type controllers out there simply emulate a keyboard with a better layout. Consoles have all had a variation of the classic control pad with a lot more bells and whistles. Interestingly enough, the latest craze with Dance Dance Revolution has brought the dance pad back into the limelight, but the dancing games are significantly different than the games of old, and the target market far broader than before.įor some time we have been subjected to a slow evolution of game controllers. Similarly, the Power Glove and Power Pad didn't add anything to the games of the day. was really cool to look at, but playing Gyromite was much easier without him. The ones that didn't? Well, that's easy to see in hindsight. Auto enthusiasts have steering wheels and shift sticks. Die hard aviation fans have a flight stick, foot pedals, and a throttle. The ones that succeed all have something in common ? they make the games more enjoyable. Haile Selassie was not, however, the first Emperor to publicly declare the importance of the Kebra Nagast.Over the years, gamers have been guinea pigs for a variety of controllers: joysticks, control pads, light guns, paddles, step pads, steering wheels, and more litter the wastelands of gaming history. Emperor Haile Selassie even had that fact enshrined in the Ethiopian Constitution of 1955. Thus, Sheba is the mother of their nation, and the kings of the land have divine right to rule because they are directly descended from her. Through their reading of the Kebra Nagast, Ethiopians see their country as God's chosen country, the final resting place that he chose for the Ark - and Sheba and her son were the means by which it came there. The importance of the queen, the Ark of the Covenant and the Kebra Nagast in Ethiopian history cannot be overstated. He took it back to Aksum, where it still resides today, in a specially built treasury in the courtyard of St Mary's Church. Under cover of darkness he left the city - taking with him its most precious relic, the Ark of the Covenant. But Menelik refused and decided to return home. The story goes that years later Menelik travelled to Jerusalem to see his father, who greeted him with joy and invited him to remain there to rule after his death. Here, the queen returns to her capital, Aksum, in northern Ethiopia, and months later gives birth to Solomon's son, who is named Menelik, meaning 'Son of the Wise'.
The stories are immortalised in the Ethiopian holy book - the Kebra Nagast - where we find accounts of the queen's hairy hoof, her trip to Solomon and her seduction.
Of all the stories of the Queen of Sheba, those of Ethiopia and the Horn of Africa are those that probably retain the most resonance today with the people who tell them. Historians believe this kingdom was located in what is now Ethiopia. Temple of Hatshepsut, whose walls show a 15th-century BC trade mission to the land of 'Punt'.
