우리나라는 온라인 게임 개발의 글로벌 리더로서 MMORPG 장르와 캐주얼 아케이드 장르를 중심으로 다양한 게임을 만들어왔다. 하지만 MMORPG와 캐주얼 아케이드 게임의 과도한 경쟁은 장르의 편중 현상을 가져오게 되었고, 신선하고 새로운 재미를 기대하는 플레이어들의 요구와 결합하여 FPS(First Person Shooting) 장르나 스포츠 게임 장르 등의 새로운 장르 게임에 대한 연구와 개발로 이어졌다. 이러한 시대적 흐름 속에 대한민국 스포츠게임 개발 선구자인 조이시티는 길거리 농구 게임인 '프리스타일'을 개발하여 엄청난 화제를 불러일으켰고, 많은 개발사 및 개발자들에게 큰 영감을 선사하였다. 프리스타일의 후속작인 프리스타일2는 길거리 농구 게임의 재미를 더욱 현실감 있게 제공하고자 개발된 캐주얼 스포츠 장르 게임으로, 본 논문에서는 프리스타일2의 게임플레이 개발 사례를 통해 캐주얼 스포츠 장르의 개발 방법에 대한 한 예를 제시하고자 한다.

Existing sports simulators on the market focus on the motion of platform or reality expression using basic visual contents, and are limited to entertainment products. Therefore, the stimulus on 5 senses is not good enough to be applied on high virtual reality. Moreover, there are not enough professional contents to be applied to an educational sports simulator. In this paper, we developed a sport platform by separating the multi axis based common platform module and the sports application module. We designed the common platform which has 4 degrees of freedom such as surge, sway, heave and yaw motion. This platform has the purpose of stabilizing motion and minimizing interference. The changeable sport module which is attached to the common module has 2 degrees of freedom such as roll and pitch, so that it can be applied to the various fields of 2 degrees of freedom virtual reality sports such as horse riding and yacht.

(1986) and (1987) represent the society of 1980s in which the professional baseball game was initiated to cover the irrational military culture. The love and marriage of sports players were the headlines of the media, and the yearly salary of the players was the hottest issue of conversation. The military culture is represented in the scenes where the coaches train the failures and inapt players in extreme drills. The films pinpoint the absurdity of military culture and win-at-all-costs mentality. The collapse of the dictatorial leadership at the end of the films is a metaphor for the collapse of the fifth Republic of Korea. The episodes where the players talk about contract money, and the trade of players and sports business were a new phenomenon of the 1980's. The fact that Oh Hyesung of chooses love instead of victory deals a big blow to the secular ambition for money, victory and dictatorial leadership. His option provides catharsis for an audience oppressed under military leadership and success driven ideology. On the other hand, Oh Hyesung of dies right at the moment of winning the world champion. He achieves neither love nor success. While Oh Hyesung of is a symbol of pure love and gives spiritual comfort to the audience, Oh Hyesung of gives a sense of hopelessness to the audience. Both of the two sports films reflect the representation of the 1980's but received opposing reviews from audiences.
