Video Game Systems Past to Present
Video game systems have changed a lot since they were first introduced to the public. Early systems were quite simple with games meant to amuse and occupy a busy child's mind. Today's video game systems are designed for everyone of every age and do more than entertain. They teach, engage and keep a person busy for hours. The changes in game systems have taken them from a simple toy to a tool that can be found in almost every American home.
The Introduction of Video Games
One of the first game systems to come on the market was the Atari. This system was simple. It featured a joystick type controller and the games had minimal graphics and sound. There were also a fairly limited number of games for the system. It was designed mainly for children and teens and adults did not usually play with the Atari.
Later Nintendo and PlayStation got into the video game market, introducing their first platforms. Nintendo quickly became a household name with its game system that improved upon the Atari with better graphics, more chooses in games and addition gaming gear to make the games more exciting and appealing to teens and adults. Playstation did the same. This was the first step towards the video game systems we have today.
Evolution Over the Years
Video games systems have evolved tremendously since that first Atari system. Today there are extreme games on the market. Game systems have cordless controllers, gun style controllers, sports type controllers and other special controllers that allow people to play all types of video games. Video games today include racing, sports, fitness, role playing and typical arcade style games.
Besides the game systems being more advanced and using advanced technology, the games have changed. They now feature graphics that almost look real. They have amazing sound and they provide a real life type experience. It is almost as if you are directing real people when you play one of today's modern video games. This is just one of the major changes that has really taken video games to a new level. Another major change was the introduction of the Wii by Nintendo.
With the introduction of the Nintendo Wii, video gaming changed forever. This game system is an extremely advanced video game that engages the player. No longer does playing a video game mean sitting on your bum in front of the television. With the Wii system you are up and moving. Many adults use the Wii Fit system to exercise.
Video games systems have really taken off and you can find some type of video game system in almost every home in America. There are tournaments where people play video gamers for money. Adults, teens and children all play video games today. Systems are used for many reasons, from playing for entertainment to playing for fitness to playing for money. When that first video game system was invented, nobody could predict just how much of an impact these systems would have on society.

If you are in your mid 40s, how did you cope without the internet and mobile phones in those teenage years?
I was a teen in the late 70s/early 80s. I bet I and my mates had more fun that today's teens with all their gadgets and video games.
Only one guy on my block had an Atari - brought the entire neighbourhood teens together. We met new people without the internet and kept up to date with gossip without mobiles. Feuds were settled with fists not knives and guns (at least in my area).
I had 30 music tracks on my c120 tape which I played over and over on my sony walkman. Now I've got 5876 songs and 15 videos on my ipod which I don't have time for.
Does anyone in my age range share this nostalgic memories of the 'good old days'?
The real piece of technology I could use right now is a time machine! I would gladly travel back in time to those days you and 30 odd people ahead of me remember with fondness.
Those were the days! I miss them. There was so much to do. I was a boys scout and a red cross member. I played football and handball. I tried my hands at being a DJ. I remember one time in 1979 I created a ‘mix’ by playing music from two cassette players into a microphone and recording it. Now teens complain that they do crime because there’s nothing else for them to do in the community.
One day I played truant from school and a total stranger (a parent) from my school dragged me back to school with my ear! People looked out for each other’s children. If were reprimanded in school or in public by an adult and our parents found out, we were in trouble for bringing the family’s name to shame!
When I brought a girl home she had to stay in the living room while my mum peered in every 5 minutes. We walked everywhere until I learnt to drive at 17.
I didn’t get my first mobile hone till I was 35 (1999).
My 18 year old niece stayed with me recently and I showed here some old pictures, told her of how we live our lives as teens, player some of our music to her and she could not believe that ‘these grumpy old people actually had real fun.
I could go on…Thanks sage for bringing the memories back. Best question I’ve answered on YA.
