History of games

History of video games, the game that comes into our mind is Pong. the ancestor of video games. It starts the whole video game industry and make people stay at home playing their game console and computers. Then many games came out and we can find them now under "classic games", they are (my favorite game) Tetris, Pac-man, Donkey Kong, Super Mario Bros etc.

better and better game console came out and change the history of video games by games like sonic, castlevania, legend of zelda, metroid, doom etc.
then, games like final fantasy and halo came out and make people stick to certain game console.

but the old games never die, legend of zelda, metroid, super mario, castlevania, even Tetris are still living, and more people are playing them in the latest console, WII, Xbox 360, PS3, which has many more features than what we have in the past. PS3, compared with those old console, it has more buttons, better graphics. Xbox360, pressure sensitive buttons and triggers. WII, motion sensor controller. with better and better game system, games become more and more fun.

From the history of video games, we can see that more and more people stay at home playing games whole day, and finally reach the end of the world as everyone is playing games and not working...
