Imagine if nobody ever think off coming out with an idea on designing computer games for our personal computer. How boring it is when using your computer just for doing your chores. Nothing else.
We're all lucky back in 1972 a local man named Nolan Bushnell invent a game called Pong that appeared in a bar in Sunnyvale, California for the first time.
The game was kind of an electronic version of table tennis, with simple graphics on a black-and-white screen. A central line represented the net , and the ball was a small blob. A short line at each end of the screen represented the two players' bats. Simple controllers allowed the players to move the bats, the object being to hit the ball past their opponent.
The Pong machine was a simple computer, permanently programmed to play that game. By modern standards, the graphics were extremely crude. But it was completely new and an instant success. From there on more and more game came out to the mass market, mostly on the arcade machine.
In 1978, that's five years after the first computer game machine then the Space Invaders came to the United States from Japan. This is the beginning of Japanese invasion in arcade game domination in amusement arcades and their gaming industries flourished until now.
Those day one of the most popular kinds of computer game is the Adventure. There is so many kind of adventure games, part of the fun of these games is that it's often takes many weeks to complete it. Usually this kind of game doesn't involved much with graphics, so it's kinda easy to be developed. All it's take is story telling , logic and puzzle. Today is very hard to sell this kind of game. User are more on fantastic graphics less typing instruction to move or given instructions in their game.
The arcade machine is really a blessing indisguised for home computer. Soon the version of the particularly all famous arcade machine converted into home computer version.
