FEATURE ARTICLE Although playing with building blocks, dolls and toy trucks was great once, as you get a bit older, however, games need to be more exciting.
VIDEO S E M A G
A lot of people seem to have the most fun with video games, which are nothing more than electronic systems like computers with display screens. Video games can be classified by genre, like shooter, action, music or horror, or by platform, like console, PC, handheld or arcade.
History Back in the 1950s, there was a lot of fun in watching TV, but a scientist named Ralph Baer thought it could be better if you were able to interact with your TV. He came up with the idea for the first video game in history, the Odyssey 100. In the 1960s, computers ceased to be just military devices. Following their development, scientists created arcade video games. By the 1980s, playing in penny arcades, on specially designed video game consoles and on home computers turned into popular entertainment all over the world.

Old timers Games consoles have gone from being those big old-fashioned things that people played using joysticks to control their television sets to the wild technological masterpieces we use today. In the 1970s, people started playing games like Pong and PacMan and Tetris with Ataris (you still can find computer versions of them). Nowadays, the wildly growing video game market has outgrown even bestsellers like Donkey Kong and Mario Brothers.
Jobs and games New job opportunities have opened up thanks to video game popularity. Video games usually use catchy music to make them seem more appealing and gifted musicians are finding that writing and playing electronic music is a great chance for employment. Famous music schools are offering courses in writing the music for video games. Composers and artists famous for other music — such as film composers Harry Gregson-Williams, Trent Reznor and Hans Zimmer — have worked on soundtracks for recent games.
Museum
New generation Instead of just having a player sit on the couch holding a joystick and try to capture some bleeping signals, we have graduated to Sony PlayStations, Nintendo Wiis, and the latest Xbox games. Some games let you use motion-sensing, pointer-based controllers to play sports like tennis and bowling or even play instruments with your television set. You actually have to get up off the couch and go through the movements of the sport.
Playing has became important for people of all ages. Just like the early scientists thought, games make everything more fun (including learning math, history and geography) like in flight simulators and real-time strategy games such as Age of Empires! They are so important that we even have museums dedicated to games! Check out the fabulous Museum of Play at http://museumofplay.org!
