A brief History of Video Games

The earliest design of video games weren't actually how you see them but instead they were text that created the world around you allowing the player to explore. These kind of games were simple to use and simple to make, they work around the limited RAM by focusing on a story rather than the graphics. The largest evolution of gaming was the transition from text into an actual visual format. In 1980 a game was released called Adventure which included the player gathering loot and simple monster fighting. Due to the technology at the time and the limitations computers had then the character itself was a coloured square and any other aspects to the game were crude pixelated graphics. However, this new visual game was a revolution within the gaming industry. 

With the technology becoming more advanced the development of video games proceeded in its advancement alongside it. They firstly took advantage of the hardwares capabilities which were increasing, to accompany the development of technology so that they could store more of the game. The controllers also started to develop further so that they now look how they are in modern forms. More inputs on the controllers meant more actions someone could take in a game. Then from now our most modern controllers the development of the mouse and keyboard combination allows for an even greater number of player inputs. 

These slight changes within the development of gaming through the years has affected adventure type games in unique ways. As good as the original Adventure game with its storyline, the development of design within modern games increases the adventure and genre, which then there came for a demand for more sophisticated stories and moral choices.
