task 2

The main focus of the early games was to make it available to everyone and to make video games competitive, like the man said in the video about pong, without a score it was no fun cause there was nothing to establish who one the game. It was a way to occupy teenagers so they would not be out vandalizing peoples property. The types of games that were created for the arcade were mainly one player games. But with pong the type of gameplay was multiplayer so that the people playing the game could interact with others.
Games and consoles are way more advanced now. Games are becoming much more realistic and are more complex. The games of the first five generations were way more simplified than the games of the past three generations. It all has to do with the enhanced graphics and the little details, such as facial expressions, muscles on the bodies, all the gadgets on guns, etc.
Games today provide more ways to interact than previous ones. The use of online gameplay gives gamers the opportunity to communicate with people across the globe. The focus of gameplay has not changed at all. Video games are still about being competitive with others and to try to be better at games than other people.


Part 2:

The that I have chosen to write my paper about is Ayiti. The reason why I have chosen this game is because it reminds me of other computer games that I enjoy playing such as the Sims and Age of Empires. It also reminds me of one of my favourite board games, which is the game of life. the concept of Ayiti is to be able to keep a family of five healthy for a certain amount of time and also sending them to school to be educated or into the work force. Ayiti was made by Global Kids and Gamelab and is for people ages 11 and up. It is a game like Age of Empires which involves mouse control.
