During the early years of film games, it was fantastically popular for young children to go down to the Arcades and play film games.
In the activist ages, children now save themselves the journey of a five to ten minute walk and now artlessly plug in and play their desired athletics in their very own home.
Playing film athletics at home began in 1977 when the company, Atari, released their film game system, ‘VCS’ (later definite as Atari 2600) for a princely sum of $249. In the same year, Nintendo released their console, TV Game 6, to rival the Atari 2600.
Arcades were very popular in folks days, as it still is in the activist world, as Midway released the first film game that could keep high scores.
It’s name? The world-renowned ‘Space Invaders’.
In 1980, many classic arcade athletics were made. Video athletics such as Atari’s ‘Asteroids’ and Namco’s ‘Pacman’ which can now be artlessly played in handheld consoles such as the Nintendo DS.
By 1994, many sagas of Video Game history came and went. There was a Video Game Console market accident which made many companies pull out of the business leaving Nintendo, Sega and Atari – the leading competitors of the market.
In 1995, Atari pulled out of the market and a new competitor emerged – Sony – which would famously go on to lead the commiserate market. In that year, Sony released the ‘Playstation’ – a 32-bit CD-based film game console, Sega released the ‘Saturn’ and Nintendo released the ‘Nintendo 64′ which was the last film game commiserate that used buckshot media.
By the year 2000, Sony had a firm grip on the Video Game Console market as it released the Playstation 2 with many loyal game developers such as Namco (Ridge Racer, Tekken) and selling over 100 million units. The Playstation 2 was the first commiserate which was able to play athletics of its predecessor.
In the following years, Microsoft entered the market with the ‘Xbox’, Nintendo released the ‘Gamecube’. Nintendo led the handheld commiserate with the acquit of Gameboy Advance which could play Gameboy and Gameboy Color cartridges.
Sega finally left the Console industry, cheerfully residing to be a software-only designer.
Now in 2006, there seems to be a slow switch of the market leader with Microsoft releasing their Next-Gen commiserate closer than Sony and Nintendo.
The ‘XBox 360′ complexion razor-sharp graphics and enables users to play online with each other. It was released at Christmas 2005 but many consoles were sent back to the manufacturers because of faulty parts.
The Sony Playstation 3 is set for launch on the November 2006 after the adjourn of its original acquit date Spring 2006 because of copyright complications. It is rumoured that there will be over 30 launch titles. It is also rumoured that Sony has invested over $800 million in development, canvass and production.
Nintendo will acquit its commiserate ‘Revolution’, now renamed as ‘Wii’ (pronounced We) abruptly after the PS3 with its acquit date animal scheduled for Christmas 2006.
The end of 2006 will certainly entail some turning points in Video Game History.
