Hi!
Welcome on my website!
On my website, I'll teach you some important things about videogames and I hope that thanks to me, you will become strongest and more interested in videogames ^^
A video game is a game that involves the interaction with a user interface to generate visual feedback on a video device. Video games may have a reward system - such as a score - that is based on accomplishment of tasks set within the game.
The "video" in "video game" traditionally refers to a raster display device. However, with the popular use of the term "video game", it now implies any type of display device. The electronic systems used to play video games are known as platforms; examples of these are personal computers and video game consoles. These platforms are broad in range, from large computers such as mainframes, to handheld devices such as cell phones and PDA's. Specialized video games such as arcade games, while previously common, have gradually declined in use. Many players identify their platform of choice as a distinct form of video gaming apart from the rest.
The history of video games traces back to 1948, where the idea of a video game was conceived and patented by Thomas T. Goldsmith Jr. and Estle Ray Mann.
In common usage a "PC game" refers to a game that is played on a personal computer connected to a high-resolution video monitor. A "console game" historically has referred to a specialized single purpose electronic device that connects to a standard television set or composite video monitor. A "hand-held" game is a self contained electronic device or miniature computer and monitor combination that is portable and can be held in a user's hands. "Arcade game" generally refers to an even more specialized type of electronic device that is typically designed to play only one game and is encased in a special cabinet. These distinctions are not always clear and there may be games that bridge one or more platform. There are also platforms that have non video game variations such as in the case of electro-mechanically based arcade games.
