THE GAME EVOLUTION
MMX3043 L.F.M.I. 2014 10
Progress in the areas of GRAPHICS, SOUND, CONTROLLERS, TECHNOLOGY and MULTIPLAYER have affected the way players experience games.
For these five different categories, a milestone from the classic and contemporary eras has been selected, along with a title that best represents that period.
THE GAME EVOLUTION: VECTOR GRAPHIC
MMX3043 L.F.M.I. 2014 11
First introduced in 1978’s SPACE WARS, vector graphics were a popular alternative to sprite-based rendering.
Instead of dividing the screen area into pixels, vector-based games used a light beam that drew bright and complex images (both 2D and 3D) onto the screen by rapidly creating a series of connected lines.
The downside was that these visuals had to be composed of wire frames rather than of solid objects.
Gaming Graphic Evolution
THE GAME EVOLUTION: SOUND
MMX3043 L.F.M.I. 2014 12
Sound effects and music heighten the realism of the overall experience by drawing you in ways you often don’t realize.
In the early days, video games’ sound effects consisted of little more than ELECTRONIC BEEPS, but soon these beeps were strung together to form simple tunes.
The THEME SONG from Donkey Kong and Pac Man, as basic they are have become ingrained in the minds of many gamers who grew up in the early 80s.

THE GAME EVOLUTION: CONTROLLER
MMX3043 L.F.M.I. 2014 13
A game controller is a device used with games or entertainment systems to provide input to a video game, typically to control an object or character in the game.
THE GAME EVOLUTION: TECHNOLOGY
MMX3043 L.F.M.I. 2014 14
The development and release of laser-disc technology occurred at a time when video games were just beginning to take off. In just a few years, the industry had transformed from a “fad” to a full-blown craze.
Arcades were still where you could find the best games, with home systems striving to catch up. In hindsight, it was only a matter of time before someone made the CONNECTION BETWEEN LASER DISCS AND VIDEO GAMES.

MMX3043 L.F.M.I. 2014 16
Multiplayer is a mode of play for computer games and video games where two or more gamers can play in the same game at the same time, co-operatively as a clan (or team) or head-to-head competitively (often referred to as deathmatch)
