A glance to videogames

In my neighbourhood, near my house was a great baker, and always I bought bread in that baker because my mother loved their “marraquetas”. One time beside the baker opened a business. It had a great notice in his roof. The new site was called “Videojuegos”. I saw those machines, and obviously, it was amazing. The video games were very funny to me, but I think that it was my undoing. The videogames token costs 5 pesos, and I spend all my change. As a result my mother punished me, but it was not enough, because I knew a new way to pass the time.

The first videogame I played was the famous Pacman. Everybody knows this game, a big yellow sphere eating the points, fruit and the colour’s ghost. It was very funny until I found the games called Popeye and Donkey Kong. I spent a lot of my time in Diana’s Videogames. It was placed in the subway of “Paseo Ahumada”. Today there is a commercial office. In this place I saw a lot of videogames. It looked like the paradise of videogames, and when I and my friend got money, we went all afternoon to play “Double Dragon”.

I do not remember the year, but definitely when Street Fighter came out to the markets the level of videogames reached his height period. Why? People started to do championship. Moreover this game was incredible. You could get fight with other guys, so people wait his turn in the queue only to fight with the champion.

The first time I have a personal computer, I did not like the videogames, because it was very poor in graphics definition. Moreover the computers games did not fight side by side with the arcades games. When I played “Age of Empire” I returned to my old hobby. It was amazing again, because it was very funny, and we could learn history through the game. I could play easily 20 hour in one day, and then I played my favourite game: “Medal of Honour” a simple third person game based in the Second World War. I think it was the most wonderful games in all the time. Why? It was the first time that a game had the real sound of guns, environment, and machines. Other point was that the enemies was A.I. (Artificial intelligent) etc.

The evolved of videogames is grow year by year. I do not know where we will arrive, but I am sure that I always will be a fan.
