Technology In games design
1900's
1952 was when the first video game was ever made, it was called OXO and it is a very basic pixel game in which you press buttons to do commands. They are very basic but where evolutionary for there time. 1970's is when games kicked off and got its first real games consoles. Nintendo really raised the bar with there console and made video games more popular over the years.
The first video game console ever made was called the "brown box" and it is just a box. The black box was very basic and had massive controllers which would not fit comfortably into the players hands. It was created by Ralph Baer. It only played a very small selection of games such as pong.
The atrai 2600 was a big console and one of the very popular ones back in the 1970's and because this year had such huge advancements the games became more
Arcade games are older but can still be found in old arcade parks and they can still be bought but they cost 100£s. They are old games that are very pixelated and the games would require you to put a coin into the arcade machine and you would be allowed to play the game until you died or won. These machines are very old and are where made popular in the 1971-1978 but really became popular in the 1980's.
The 1980's was known as the "dark ages" because the consoles where bad and they had no impact in the gaming community as the consoles where actual really bad. There where awful games like et made and there really was nothing good for years. Later in the year the nes was released and that changed gaming as we know it. It changed gaming and games that even people who don't play games know who Mario is. The console is the first huge hit and it had a total of 61,000,000 sales for $199. Later in the year the sega gensis was made and it was a huge it but still not as big as the nes with only 40,000,000 sales.

This year was the biggest jump in gaming as you went from 3d games with old graphics to very good graphics and very different games. The consoles changed so much for the better that t really changed gaming for the better and the community blow up with YouTube and other websites such a Reddit. PC became a viable way to game and that. The release of the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 changed the community. Early in the 2000's in the year the PlayStation 2 was released and that's what really got me into playing games as a young kid.
So the gaming community today is very advanced and is advancing even faster every day. With games back on the PS2 looked great for their time, they would be completely dated today and would look really out of place. Games like the last of us and call of duty have photo realistic graphics that really make games from 10 years ago look old and because of the way technology is advancing, some day games that we think look great today will be blown away which is great for the community as more games are made and the industry grows. With new releases such as VR and Oculs rift coming out, the world of gaming is a rapidly growing multi billion pound industry and this is great news for gamers, casual or hardcore. With a large range of cards to pick from the only problem would by the price but if you really want to powerful pc then you will have to spend lots of money but it is worth it if you are really into pc gaming.
