Video games have gone from a niche hobby to a massive industry; there are dozens of eno000rmous game releases each year, and the eSports scene has had unprecedented growth in recent years. Here is a short history of arcade games to learn a bit more. During the 70's, the market became a lot better with games that everyone, even kids, can play like Space Invaders and Pacman. For younger generations, it might seem like game consoles have always been a fact of life; anyone under 25 probably grew up with a PlayStation or Xbox in their house. From the early days of Pong, through the glory years of Space Invaders, Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Gauntlet, Double Dragon, Street Fighter II and beyond, players have been lining up their quarters in anticipation of 90 seconds of quality arcade action. Back in the 1980s, if you wanted to experience the graphics of Dragon's Quest or the ride-in action of OutRun then you weren't going to find that on your home video game console. The arcade's ruled, and they became the hang-out of choice for many children. General Computer originally made the game in 1981 as a modification kit for the original Pac-Man, titled Crazy Otto. Following legal action with Atari, GCC was forced to present the project to Midway, the North American distributor of Pac-Man, before release in February 1982. Multiple names were considered for the game, including Super Pac-Man, Miss Pac-Man and Mrs. Pac-Man, before the final name was chosen for being easier to pronounce. While the game was reportedly made without Namco's blessing, Namco president Masaya Nakamura provided feedback on the player character's design, and the company collected the same royalties on each cabinet as they had with Pac-Man. And they were obviously very happy with said royalities as 125,000 Ms. Pac-Man arcade units were sold before the production of the original cabinet was suspended in 1988. Across the years thousands of different arcade machines have decked the floors of ten of thousands of arcades worldwide, but which of them were the most popular? As for revenue earned by the player, that's almost impossible to tell. Individual establishments aren't going to keep track of every coin put into every specific machine, but they certainly know which ones are filling up their coin banks more than others and so, in many cases, ended up investing in multiple units. Back in the golden age of arcade video games, hardware units cost anything from $1000 to $4000 (or more) brand new, and with a reported 10,000 video game arcades across North America alone by the end of 1982, that's some heavy investment going on and some serious profit being earned by the manufacturers. Possibly the most accurate way to work out which arcade game was the most popular is on actual hardware units sold, so we've done just that - rounded up the 10 arcade games that sold the most individual units. The truth is that the ubiquity of consoles is relatively new. #arcade #arcadegames #videogames #retrogaming #retro #gaming #retrogames #nintendo #gamer #games #s #sega #ps #streetfighter #pinball#puzzle #puzzles #puzzletime #jigsawpuzzle #puzzlelover #jigsaw #mainanedukasi #mainananak #x #rubik #puzzlesofinstagram #puzzleaddict #brainteaser #cube #rubikscube #pieces #game #fun #riddle #games #rubiks #art #riddles #jigsawpuzzles #quiz #puzzler #cubing #brainteasers An arcade video game is an arcade game where the player's inputs from the game's controllers are processed through electronic or computerized components and displayed to a video device, typically a monitor, all contained within an enclosed arcade cabinet. Arcades shaped the world of video games we know today. Let's go on a trip to the past and explore the history of arcades. Arcade video games are often installed alongside other arcade games such as pinball and redemption games at amusement arcades. Up until the late 1990s, arcade video games were the largest[1] and most technologically advanced[2][3] sector of the video game industry. #speedcube #speedcubing #playstation #game #retrogamer #arcademachine #neogeo #capcom #arcadecabinet #videogame #metalslug #retroarcade #xbox #fun #mame #fliperama #snkPac-Man Ms. Pac-Man Space Invaders Donkey Kong Galaga Asteroids Frogger Centipede Dig Dug Street Fighter II These titles are among the most iconic and influential in arcade history, contributing significantly to the gaming culture of the time.

These early computer programmers weren’t just wasting time or looking for new ways to goof off. They had practical reasons to create games. During the 1940s and 1950s, computers took up entire rooms and were so expensive that only universities and large companies could afford them. Most people had both a limited understanding of what these electronic behemoths were able to do and an unfamiliarity with the types of mathematical equations these machines were regularly programmed to compute. Games like tic-tac-toe or William Higinbotham’s 1958 Tennis for Two were excellent ways to attract public interest and support. As an added bonus, computer programmers were able to learn from the creation of games as well because it allowed them to break away from the usual subroutines and challenge the computer’s capabilities. It was this mindset that led a group of MIT students during the 1960s to create one of the first and most groundbreaking computer games. Students Steve Russell and his friends were granted access to the school’s new PDP-1 computer providing they used it to create a demonstration program that (1) utilized as many of the computer’s resources as possible and “taxed those resources to the limit,” (2) remained interesting even after repeated viewings, which meant that each run needed to be slightly different and (3) was interactive. Inspired by the science fiction novels Russell and his friends enjoyed, these computers “hackers” decided to create a dueling game between two spaceships. The result, called “Spacewar,” caused a sensation on campus and variations on the game soon spread to other universities that had computer engineering programs.
