Inception & first experiments: 60’s – 80’sThere wasn’t much technology available in this period. Creating games was almost unaffordable andthus held a huge risk .

The advent of PC games: 90’sThe upcoming of the personal computer was promising but advertisers kept making the same mistakes as in the period before. A positive evolution of this period was the bringing of in-context advertising: content contributes to the realism of the game and is not irritating (more subtle).
