🕹️ The World of Video Games 🎮

My Favourite Hobby

Video games can be used for entertainment and relaxation, but they can also be used for competitions and for computer learning. Some video games are designed to help improve fine motor skills and hand-eye co-ordination. The first video games were prototyped in the 1950s and 1960s, by the 1970s there was a whole industry created around video games. In fact, there were so many video games being produced that in 1983, the industry was in crisis because too many low-quality games were being made. This crisis led to video game manufacturers and publishers being very careful about what video games they produced, and during the 2000s, most video games were being made by large companies. However, the rise of the internet allowed small developers to start making their own games, which are referred to as Indie Games. For many years video games were considered a hobby or a pastime, but in the late 2000s, electronic sports began to rise in popularity. Electronic sports, or Esports, are competitions between professional video game players.
