Computer Gaming

The history of computer gaming is so vast that I could probably start a whole new blog on it, reason why I never really got down to doing it. Still with all this information, I’ll try to incorporate all the important details you, the readers will be interested in!

Computers have been around for longer then you probably think, dating back to the late 1950’s. Generally first used for solving math equations and work of that sort, developers finally came to realization, that computers can be used for entertainment purposes also! There comes computer gaming, as computers started moving into universities and colleges, students were first too try to make their imaginations into realities by converting them into games. Computer gaming has definitely grown from there and now there are numerous ways people can play and new genres.

Computer gaming began with a bit of a shaky ground as computers weren’t as reliable and were just flat out huge. But great arcade games like Space Invader and such really propelled the potential in the 60’s. From then leaps have been made, as there are now very reliable computers, and not only that but also very graphically capable computers. As computers evolved, so did the gaming industry involved. Since the invention of the computer game, there have been many steps taken to further improve too.

This new invention was definitively great, but what’s playing a game without someone to play with? Here comes the multiplayer. Multiplayer was built in to the first ever games made for computer, but online multiplayer was really what was going too set it even higher. Online multiplayer really changed the way one could look at gaming, as it gives a whole new element to play with. No longer will one get bored playing story mode all alone as they can reach out and play with other. This really thrived in the MMORG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games), as gamers are given the chance to really become whoever they want and do as they feel in these big internet games such as World of Warcraft!

Users have been addicted since the evolution has begun and really I don’t think there’s any stopping it now. Gaming has been done; many people love it, as some hate it, but it all started with a big fat computer taking up half of a room. Without these computers and these games, I think the world would be a better place… Who am I kidding? Keep it coming developers! J
