The Evolution of the Video Game

Its a brand new world...throughout this internet connected society a new trend has taken over the lives of many children and with the new advancements in technology more and more adults. playing video games is not just a trip to the arcade anymore.

Go back way back to like the 80's...do you remember Space Invaders?

Released in Japan in 1978, although quite simplistic by todays standards, it has remained one of the forerunners of the modern video gaming industry.

Ranked as the most influentail video game ever created, Space Invaders changed the style of game play.
Up until its release, video games were timed to a clock, and once a player's time was up (plus possible bonus time), the game ended. With Space Invaders, the game ended only when the player had exhausted the three allotted "lives" or when the invaders landed on the bottom of the screen: a person could therefore play for as long as their skill level allowed.
