[ESP/ENG] La evolucion de los juegos en nuestras vidas // The evolution of games in our lives

It all started with the popularity of PONG, thus reaching the era of games, almost no one had a computer and those who had one thought the least about playing on it. But little by little the well-known arcades were created. Big machines which were found in stores specialized in these, with titles such as PONG, Donkey Kong, Pacman, among many others.

This would last and would have its best time until the arrival of home consoles, such as the NES, Atari, Coleco Telstar, Color Game TV, among others. It would be the beginning of the table consoles and the almost end of the arcades, as many would still go to the arcades because of the economy of the arcades while others would be testing their "innovative" consoles at home. At this point there would already exist game lovers and for many more than something to waste time it would be a hobby, those better known as video game experts. At the same time computers would cease to be something exclusive for companies or millionaires and would become more accessible to people, thus giving rise to computer games.

As well as the arrival of portable consoles such as the Game Boy, Game & Wacht, Microvision, Game Gear, and many more (I only mention the best known because if I were to name them all this post would be endless). Little by little the consoles would cease to be something that was only at home, but also outside of it we could continue playing our favorite games, becoming increasingly closer to our daily lives. And computers already had a large market of games in their catalogs, not yet reached what they are today, but with titles like Age of Empire, Civilization, Adventure. And many other titles would begin to leave their mark.

We arrived at the arrival of the PlayStation, N64, Xbox, Gamecube, PlayStation 2, among other consoles that would become the basis of current games, and along with this generation of consoles we would have the evolution of the pc with games like Ward coffee, Half life, GTA, Need For Speed, many of these games that would be ports from consoles to pc, starting with the growth of the pc as we know them today. Already many of the children of that time would have the great fortune to have the games at their fingertips, either in portable consoles, desktop, or on your computer. Little by little they would have a small idea of what today's games represent, and in the time of 2011 we would not only have games to pass the time but games to exercise, and maintain a more optimal physical condition.

And the arrival of massive online games, for computers, something that would make a big change in the gaming industry, even having a competitive section of these same, recognizing some games as sports. Already with this we have come almost to the present, the arrival of online games would give an important change in console games, having these now a larger and broader multiplayer section, also having many of these games ports to computers. Games were no longer something to be ashamed of if you were a fan, it was something as normal as playing soccer or baseball. They stopped being so basic and started to become competitive on a worldwide level.
