Gaming, and what has changed

Ever since games were made, they were always there for a purpose, to either be beaten, used for being competitive or just as a challenge, but how has it evolved from the olden days of Pitfall and Pong?

Let's say we had to make something amazing, we had equipment, and a lot of things ready for use and aid of making a video game, but how do we put those together and create something that's never before been seen and create an amazing spectacle people would easily buy into?

I have no idea, but I can tell you that the people that made games such as Pong and Pitfall had the right idea!

Before gaming, we had things like Bowling, Pinball and other competitive forms of things, but some of them put the body to use and required you to go out and play, and if you were to buy your own Pinball Machine or Bowling Alley, it would be costly (Although so much damn fun!) so what did someone then think of?

Gaming Consoles! I'd presume it was born out of the entertainment you use to get from playing a good game of Pinball or any other games that use to exist and competing with your friends, what changed was that people wanted to experience that fun and enjoyment in their homes and living rooms, but couldn't due to the fact that it was too costly, but when Consoles arrived that was a whole different story.

Affordable, Easy to learn, and cheap to run, Consoles were a thing of Marvel! People could get that same taste of fun and enjoyment they got from the Arcades, in their home, and boy did they evolve over time!

Games went from 8 Bit to 16 bit to 32 bit, and then we had 3D gaming, that was pixelated and pretty much would look amazingly bad to us now, but then again, was a marvel to most people.

Then came online gaming, I'd assume it was created on the PC and then slowly evolved into something that in now day's, almost everyone has used.

Now we have a combination of games, created from not just known publishers, but people that are independent and in their homes just creating games cause they can and want to!

Gaming has come a long way from what it use to be, but still as it evolves so do people and that being said we as humans can still create even more wonders in the future and I for one cannot wait to see what it holds, perhaps a Virtual Reality game with almost Real to Life graphics, or even a game based on the moon somehow, we never know, but we shall see!
