Emergence of Video Games in the 80s

Written by: Albert

Theme:
My group did our project on the emergence of video games in the 80s and how it ushered in an entirely new field in electronics and entertainment.

Items:
Game quotes to explain the people's opinions on video games.
Two SNES game controllers, 4 SNES game cartridges, creen shots of old games in progress to convey the idea of how such a giant field in entertainment started.
Advertisements for old games and arcades to show how much of a demand the games were
back then.

Method:
I already have an SNES, along with the two controllers and the 4 games. Daniel brought in an old comic that had ads for games. My group got the quotes and screen shots online.

I would not have done this project any differently. I think that this is a great way to convey our thoughts.

As for advice, I would suggest that next year's class start putting the project together, as it can take some time. I would also suggest that next year's class exchange contact information.

  3. Retro! Anyone that still has an SNES these days better hold on to it; they are starting to become collector's items these days...
