Video Games More Popular Than Ever

The video game market is a billion dollar industry. This market just continues to grow and the games are getting more advanced as the years go by. Does anyone remember Pong? Now that was the game back in the day and we use to play that for hours as kids. Pong was the best thing in town; until Pac Man came along. Now Pac Man was the bomb and that still remains one of the most played video games of all time. Ms. Pac Man was a little bit better than the original Pac Man, but it’s all called Pac Man when the subject is brought up. I remember a couple of local restaurants that had Pac Man and I would love going to those places as a kid. The song “Pac Man Fever” was a perfect song for the time. The line that says “I’m headed to the arcade with a pocket full of quarters” was so true. Every time I would see a quarter as a kid, I would think to myself “that’s enough for a game of Pac Man”. 

Video games have come a long ways since the Pong and Pac Man days. Playstation and all the other popular gaming consoles have brought 100’s of new games to the homes of kids and adults all over the world. I think the adults like the games better than the kids do sometimes. I think Playstation is up to the playstation 3 these days and I’m sure we will see a playstation 4, playstation 5, etc…

I still enjoy playing some of the video games myself. I like a good baseball video game or one of the hunting video games you can play these days. Who knows what tomorrow will hold for the video gaming industry, but it looks like it’s here to stay for awhile. We can also enjoy the latest video games on our computers now and this is only going to increase the number of video gamers out there. Who could ever imagine that interacting with our television screens could be so popular?
