We
have seen days where we played outside our home without caring about the
weather, no matter how bad it is and never cared about the timings. Starting
from Gilli Danda, kite flying, cricket, football, kabaddi to hide and seek, we
played with all our strength and never cared for anything else when it came to
sport. The emerging world has changed so drastically that you just have to name
the game and it would be there in the virtual world with the various gaming
consoles. You can play it anytime just while sitting at home. Play it for hours
and you will still not feel tired.
The
video games came into existence Since the 1980s, video gaming has become a
popular form of entertainment and a part of the modern popular culture in most
parts of the world. One of the early
games was Spacewar, which was developed by computer scientists. Early arcade
video games developed from 1972 to 1978. During the 1970s, the first generation
of home consoles emerged, including the popular game Pong. In the beginning of
this new era, we had small handy gadgets to play which are operated by
batteries. Later in 90's, the 8- bit console systems started floating in the
market such as the games like Mario, Contra and Road Runner which were played
by most of us. All you need to do is to get the console and attach it to your
television. Using a joystick you can play the games and feel like it is you who
is inside the television, playing, running and shooting the enemies. That was
the time when video game parlor came into existence and later, these games were
also released on personal computers and thus it become the need of every child
late in 90's. The parents promise their kids to get good marks in exams and in
return they will get the video game consoles. It was then the status symbol among
the kids to have these gaming consoles.
Endman,
Nintendo Sega, and Taito were the first companies to pique the public interest
in arcade gaming when they released the electro-mechanical games Periscope and
Crown Special Soccer. Atari (founded by Nolan Bushnell, the godfather of
gaming) became the first gaming company to really set the benchmark for a
large-scale gaming community. The world of gaming got changed once the consoles
got available in the market easily. Nowadays, we have many gaming consoles like
Microsoft's XBOX 360, Sony's Play
Station 3,4. These games are the sixth-generation era types in the gaming world
or 128-bit era, we started with 8 bit and now moved to 128 bit graphics
consoles. NVIDEA a company who only creates graphics card for personal
computers has played an important role in the entertainment sector because it
brings the revolution of graphics and designs, and with the help of which we
can see better picture and play games on our systems rather than buying the
consoles.
The
technology has improved so swiftly due to which we have 3D games available
today. Just by using an Electronic Goggle, you can enter into the virtual world
of gaming and start experiencing the game so live that you can ever imagine in
the real life. It makes you feel the smoke, the wetness of the rain and the
smell of explosives altogether. That's
how real it is. Our new generation has
limitless options for entertainment while sitting at home!
