Old games, new games, what’s the difference?
Do you remember the old games that used to be played? If we’ve lived long enough, we can probably remember standing in arcades throwing quarters at video games.
We can also remember the old video game systems, like the Atari and the games we played on it. Video games are so much more complex now and it seems like more complex games are coming out all the time. Many of us still enjoy playing those old games from time to time, however, what is the difference between old games and new games?
The older games were actually played at a time when video game technology was very new. Even by the time a home video game system was released, we were still very used to playing old games and were excited by titles like Breakout or Space Invaders.
I can remember sitting at my friends house and spending countless hours playing these games. They were extremely nice and were great fun for life in general, which can get stressful from time to time.
New games are all about graphics and action. Yes, there are still plenty of word and puzzle games that people play, but newer game systems were created with the idea that people enjoy games where there are lots of things to do. This is true and it can certainly be said that it is due to the type of games that are coming out and that are very popular. Even the gaming systems that are coming out are updated almost every year. As video game technology grows, games must grow along with it.
It doesn’t matter if you like new or old games, it’s always good to play something new. Some gamers would never think of playing something retro, like Atari, but the fact is, for those of us who played it when we were younger, it’s still a lot of fun. It’s already hard to find those old games in the store, but you can still find them on eBay. In fact, many people search eBay every day for older games and discover that they can get newer games at a hefty discount. It’s a great way to grow your video game library without using up all your money.
