Video games have evolved in recent decades at the pace of technological

advances. The sector has gone from simple games to more complex video
games, with more developed graphics.

Since the first video game as such appeared in 1972 (nineteen-seventy-two),

based on Ping-Pong, the sector has not stopped evolving. The first best
known games are those that come from arcade machines. These first came
to microcomputers, such as Pac Man or better known as “Comecocos”, or
the games of spaceships (Martians). Later , Arkanoid would appear , a game
that consisted of a moving bar and a ball, which had to be directed towards
the top of the screen in order to knock down all possible bricks.

The next step in the evolution of videogames came with the appearance of
the Nintendo video console and its star game, Super Mario Bross, which
appeared in 1986 (nineteen- eighty-six). Years after the launch of Super
Mario , SEGA's Megadrive console and its star game arrived on the
market Sony .

Games were originally stored in plastic cartridges , until SEGA added

the Compac Disk (CD) to the Megadrive. Although SEGA was innovating, the
large number of games that Nintendo had on the market did not allow it to
achieve the results it wanted, so it released the Sega Saturn . This began to
have more importance in the market and Nintendo fought back with
the Nintendo 64 sixty-four, some of the most important games of these
consoles are Donkey Kong or The Legend of Zelda.

In 1995 (nineteen-ninety-five) comes a new advance in game consoles, Play

Station appears . This console outperformed the Nintendo 64 sixty-four, due,
among other things, to the large number of games released by Sony and the
development of games on CD (Nintendo 64 sixty-four still did it on
cartridge). Some of the most important have been Tekken 3, FIFA 98 ninety-
eight or Gran Turismo 2.
Another of the fields in which the fight for the control of video consoles was
fought was in laptops . SEGA launched the Game Gear with games like
Mortal Kombat or Lemmings and Nintendo put the Game Boy on the
market with games like the Pokemon saga or the Ninja Turtles. Currently
Nintendo has on the market the latest update of its portable game consoles,
the Nintendo 3DS and Sony, which is one of the most powerful has the PSP.

Already in 2000 (two thousand) a new era for video consoles began with the
appearance of the PS2 and the later PS3 with graphically very powerful
games such as Grand Theft Auto V, Assansins Creed 4 or God Of War.

Another of the game consoles that broke the market in 2006 (two thousand
six) is the Nintendo Wi i, a game console that allows the user to physically
interact with the video game they are using. Or Microsoft's
console, Xbox, which in recent weeks has released its latest game console
on the market.

Technology continues to advance and with it the video game market. Xbox

has released its latest gem on the market and Play Station that they plan to
do so in the coming months.

In conclusion, in a future going to a new era of videogames that will surprise

us and break every limit. In addition, we can play the greatest adventures
that only in our dreams or imagination we thought.
without a doubt, the new video game consoles are better than the old ones.
But And you, what do you prefer?
