  • 1-up

    1-up (or “1UP”, “1-UP”, etc.), pronounced "one up", is a general term in video gaming that refers to any item which gives the player an extra life, allowing play to continue beyond the game's normal limitation on attempts. Because there is no rule set in place governing all games, the specific implications of 1-ups varies tremendously from game to game. However, they are very often rare and difficult items to acquire, occasionally requiring the player to demonstrate significant skill or risk an unnecessary death.

    In certain games, it is possible to receive multiple extra lives at once. When this happens, the number of extra lives obtained sometimes changes the notification from "1-up" to a variant that reflects the total lives earned: two lives would be "2-up", five lives would be "5-up", and so on. Games that don't follow this rule often simply repeat the "1-up" notification in rapid succession concurrent with the number of lives awarded.

    History

    The term "1-up" appeared in American pinball games at least as early as the late 1960s, and perhaps earlier though its meaning then differed from its current definition. Early multi-player pinball games displayed "XUP" to signify that it was a certain player's turn (1UP for Player 1, 2UP for Player 2, etc.). It would also use this terminology to designate which score belonged to which player: "1UP" followed by a score indicated that it was Player 1's score, for example. Even then, however, the current concept of the 1-up was incorporated. These games often gave players multiple chances before one reached a game over. When a ball was lost in the gutter, the next ball was loaded and the game continued. If a player met certain conditions (such as a high score), they received an extra ball. Later, this concept was applied to arcade games. The inclusion of extra lives was very common in video games from the 1980s on, even in otherwise 'realistic' combat-themed games.

    1UP!

    1UP! is the fourth studio album by ska band illScarlett, released on September 29, 2009 in North America. The first single on the album is titled "Take It for Granted" and was first released on the band's website on August 6, 2009.
