THE HISTORY OF COMPUTER GAMESbrought to you by George’s Games
Early ideas
The origin of video games lies in early missile detente systems in the late 1940s. These were later adapted intosimple games during the 1950s. Eventually video games diverged into different types: mainframe, arcade,console, personal computer and later handheld games.
Mainframe Games
Game development blossomed in the early 70s, using huge University mainframe computers. There is littlerecord of these games, as they were not marketed, or available to the public. The students creating them oftendid so illicitly by making questionable use of very expensive computing resources, and so kept their work secret.
Rise of the Video Arcade
The arcade game industry entered its Golden Age in 1978 with the release o' Space Invaders by Taito, a successthat inspired dozens of manufacturers to enter the market.Colour arcade games became more popular in 1979 and 1980 with the arrival of titles such as PacMan. TheGolden Age of video arcade games reached its zenith in the 1980s.
The Game Console and Home Computer
With improvements to consoles in the 90s, home video games began to approach the level of graphics seen inarcade games. An increasing number of players would wait for popular arcade games to be adapted for consolesrather than going out. Home computers also became cheaper, more widespread and gained gaming abilities.
Today and Tomorrow
Today’s technology is changing rapidly. The newest developments include hand-held and mobile phonegaming, huge online games with many players, alternate reality games such as Second Life, and games, such asFarmville that are linked to social networks.For more information, the latest games products, and to play a selection of authentic vintage arcade games, visitus at George’s Games conveniently located at the Central Entertainment Complex on Derby Road.OPENING HOURS: 4-10pm, Sunday-Thursday 12 noon – 12 midnight, Friday and Saturday
