» Overview

Other classic games include Dr. Mario (another popular puzzle type game), Super Mario Brothers (where you go around killing enemies, dodging them, racking up points and money and trying to get through all the levels before you defeat the boss and save the beautiful princess) has also been around for years and is known by practically every video game playing fanatic in the world. Video game technology has certainly come a long way since game systems like Atari and Super Nintendo. We are now in a video game world where the technology is so advanced, we are able to use the motion from our own bodies to play them, game systems with virtual memory that act like a desktop computer, connect to the internet where you can challenge and play against or with millions of different players from everywhere around the world, and games that are called virtual reality (you put a helmet with crazy looking goggles on and experience game play as though you are actually in the game.) With that said, it is clear that video games have become a major part of culture and society with the current generations. Most young people have played some form of video game at one point or another in their lives, whether it be in an arcade, on the internet, or with a buddy at home. Even older generations have started on the video game bandwagon, and many actually consider video games to be an opportunity to spend some fun quality time together with their children. Video games can be a positive and non harmful activity in a person's life, however there are a few risks involved with them. Video games can be very violent, and children who are exposed to them at too young an age can develop anger issues and have a hard time expressing themselves emotionally. Some also play video games so much that when they try to pull themselves away from them for an extended period of time they go through withdrawal symptoms, much like a drug addict. These are extreme situations, and if you take the right precautions and limit yourself to a certain amount of video game playing per day, you should be okay. Have fun with video games, and make your life more interesting with all the different kinds of video games their creators have to offer.
