  Evolution of video games

Electronic games have come a long way, from 8-bit and 2D all the way to 3D and almost looking real.  Most games are still getting better and evolving.


The first ever games were not too good, one of them was Bertie the Brain. It was a large game of tic tac toe and you could play it, but it didn't look too fun. It was played on a large screen. Josef Kates was the creator of this game. 


Then around 8 years later, in 1958, William Higinbotham made the game Tennis for Two but according to the website Plarium, “William was a member of the team that created the first ever nuclear bomb…” Interesting fact. Tennis for Two was played on a small analog computer, players could push two buttons and hit the ball to the other side. This was essentially an early version of the game PONG. Then as the years went on the games got a bit better.


As time went on the games were more often 3D. Wolfenstein 3D was released in 1992. It was low graphics but better than a game that is 2D. This was also a good game because you could walk around instead of hitting a ball, like in PONG,  but it still was low pixel.The game was about escaping a prison in WWII and fighting guards there. 


Recently in 2017, Star Wars Battlefront II was released. The graphics were way better than any of the earlier games.This game is based on Star Wars. It is an FPS game and a 3rd person game. You could be multiple Jedi or Sith. This game is very realistic compared to the others.

Games are getting better every day. It has only been around sixty years and games look this realistic, They have come a long way. Games in the future will be even better. Over many years games have evolved and they are still evolving today.

    I think that it is really interesting that the person who made tennis for two also helped make the nuclear bomb! Did you know that there are more than 1,181,019 video games! What is your favorite video game?

    I liked that you started off with how games began and how games started evolving. I haven't played many videos games but sometimes I do and their really fun. Do you think that, in the future the games will be better or over the top?

      That is a good question, I think games over time will get better. Games are adding many things to make their game look almost real!

    I liked how you fitted a bunch of popular games into this piece. I know it would be hard mentioning all of these great games. There are so many to choose from. I have never played Star Wars Battlefront 2 but I love the Star Wars movies. I wondered if you could mention things like game consoles if you write about this again.

    I liked how you started off by telling telling the reader some of the earlier games and some of the latest types. I have played an older game and it was not very good animation at all. What was the first video game ever invented?

                                                        Pros and cons of electric cars. In this blog I will talk about how electric cars are good and bad to own. Many people don't have electric cars for good reasons. Today I will go over those reasons and some good reasons to have an electric car. Some pros of electric cars are, they are a lot quieter so when you walk on the  street you can not be bothered by all the really loud cars. The costs ongoing are a lot lower than to have ongoing prices for a gas fueled car. They are also more convenient, as Andrew Sendy from Solar Reviews stated, “A lot of people mistakenly think that electric cars are more inconvenient since you have to find charging stations, which...

     Recycling If people refuse to reduce their plastic use then many things will happen, many bad things. As Rinkesh stated in his article on Recycling, ” It is perfectly true that recycling Minimizes global warming and its grave impacts.” If people recycle we can help our environment and maybe global warming would stop growing so fast.             More than just global warming is happening from all the plastic not being recycled. Even animals are suffering from this. Some animals might get their heads stuck on plastic and die. Many animals have been found with food inside them because they could not digest it. The food had small pieces of plastic in it.              By recycling people can help not waste natural resources because the recycled plastic could be reused. You can recycle plastic to make organic matter.  Rinkesh states that, ...

  In this blog you will learn about Charles Person, Freedom Rider. He fought for equality and was not mentioned that much. That is why he is an unsung hero.He also helped change things that needed to be changed. He wanted to fight for equality because he was not admitted to a school he applied for just because of his race. He was also not allowed in restaurants like many others because of the color of his skin. The man was always being discriminated against so he wanted to help change that. He also wanted to help his friends. Charles wanted to gain freedom for everyone, he wanted freedom on buses where he could sit anywhere he wanted. He wanted to help change America. He accomplished seating freedom by helping to change bus laws, so he could sit anywhere and not get up for anyone. Charles Person’s life has value because he stood up for what is right. and without him black people would be only allowed at the back of the bus and would have to get up for others. Not many people talk a...
