This multi-billion dollar industry is evolving rapidly, with some consoles coming without controls. To get to the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii videogame consoles, the road has been long.
A fierce battle for the owner of the latest technology has given the consumer a range of varied options to enjoy the best virtual entertainment.
Some games have gone down in history or are part of the virtual Olympus, a place where the few remain and more than 20 years have passed; some players will remember -always with nostalgia- "the worlds" in Super Mario Bros, the lines of Tetris or the ghosts in Pacman.
These are some of the video games that revolutionized the industry, according to a tour of different websites and based on the opinion of seasoned players by Portafolio.co
5.EL TETRIS:
This game with multiple geometric figures came to the world in 1984 and was invented by the Russian Alekséi Pázhitnov. Tetris is considered one of the most important games in the 80s and part of the 90s. The 'tetrismanía' was taken to the world when Nintendo launched the game with its GameBoy console and became popular all over the planet. The objective of the game is to conform as many lines as possible in a space, without allowing the figures to reach the ceiling.
4.PACMAN:
He saw the 'virtual light' in 1980 and had the record of being the most successful 'arcade' type game, with 293,822 consoles sold. It consists of a board where a yellow circle is eating points and is in turn pursued by ghosts. Some of those points suspend the ghosts and the famous 'quesito' of Pacman can be eaten in order to prevent the ghosts from killing him. Pacman was distributed in several consoles and reached its peak in the 90s.
3.SPACE INVADERS (‘MARCIANITOS’):
Here came the alien invasion of the market, one of the first titles that gave the player the ability to 'save the Earth' from fearful creatures. With a laser cannon it was necessary to prevent the aliens from reaching their destination. In 2007, the company that owns its rights, Taito, had earned 500 million dollars through sales of the title.
2. AGE OF EMPIRES:
The strategy to be used in the saga of 'Age' places the player on a timeline of more than 3,000 years of civilizations. Saving food, developing an army, maintaining the wellbeing of the inhabitants and a high historical content gave this game a resounding success since it went on sale in 1997. It could be played individually or in groups, hence the discipline of playing Age of Empires took colleges, universities and offices.
1.COUNTER STRIKE:
Blood on stage, diparos, action, adventures, have made Counter Strike the best game dedicated to action, also for being criticized for its content not suitable for minors. Counetr Strike was declared the game of action in all the times of the video game.
