At first I didn’t have any computer games so I only got to play what I would now say unexciting board games, which then, I have to admit, was pretty good and the only social fun I truly had. Slowly my interest in games quietened down and I found football and other types of sports far more interesting and before long I had completely stopped playing board games. It was a long time after that, a computer had been introduced in my house, and I started to play with the games that came with it. There was first only a few games which weren’t that astonishing, so I didn’t really spend that much time on it, I guess at first I didn’t really appreciate them so much, but slowly I got better and more fun games and once again I got into the fashion of playing games. The only difference this time was that they aren’t just simple board games they are brilliant computer games.
If this wasn’t enough for me I got into the fashion of stylish hand held electronic games, which I, and any of you who have tried them out can say that they are top. Now I didn’t have to scribble through class work waiting for the last bell to go off, now all I had to do was to be patient for one or two lessons and spend some break time on my games. It came in really handy there was no more time-wasting journeys or holiday’s just hours on end of games.
Every so often when a newer and more advanced electronic game was out I got it along with hundreds of kids world wide, the race was on, who got to finish first, who beat the game first and like usual I was part of it and probably you were also, well I don’t blame you. Eventually it just got out of hand, games were, and still are coming out as often as films which means I along with everyone else spend longer times on it and put games as priority one.
When I was much younger I thought that the games were just too expensive, they would charge us weeks of pocket money for just one game. Now I still think the prices are rip-offs but the only difference is I can afford it, but there are still many people that would love to buy more games but they just don’t have the cash to do so, and I am sure many of you who are reading this can totally agree with me.
I can guess that all of you, just like me value the most is the games that include racing or fighting which can be quit simply summed up as action games. They’re enjoyable and thrilling, which is probably or rather defiantly the only thing that stimulates us. Also I am sure that most of us can all agree that games with out all of this like Tetras are a waste of time and money.
Now I can say that the games are basically the same whether platform games, which is simply any particular character like Super Mario walking along a platform usually at the base of your screen, doing whatever you command him to do which in most cases is destroying everything in his path. There is also action games which is usually consists of fighting and explosions and they don’t get much better than that, so I guess you would all agree with me that the games are going to have to be made far more complex to excite the new generation of gamers, that’s us.
