Videogames Systems A short presentation of Videogames from computers to consoles.
Windows Xp/Vista • Assuming you have the system requirements for whatever game you want. You have 3 operating systems to choose from Windows Xp and Vista are both about the same except for the different version of DirectX. They both use DirectX which helps the computer realize that it’s a game. Usually windows is the most used when installing and playing videogames due to the way they were constructed and the ability to use .EXE files.
Mac’s • Macs are known to be used for creating games as well as editing images and videos, but many developers do not port their game to the Mac due to the way it is installed on the computer. Still there are many games that are on the Mac and many games only meant for the Mac. Some games are Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Quake 4, Quake Wars, Need for Speed, Sims and some others. There are the games only for Mac users but they do not tend to tickle ones fancy. Couldn’t find a suitable picture of a Mac only game.
Linux • Linux an unsung operating system. There are hardly any games that you can buy for this system because many games on this system can be downloaded for free. Emulators run really well on this system if you want to play old videogames from the Atari to Nintendo 64. • Linux also has the ability to install Windows and Mac games and applications on to its system by using certain programs like Wine and Crossover
8-Bit Era • Video game crash revival • Nintendo Entertainment System (NES, Nintendo) • Expansive gameplay • Improved graphics for the time
16-Bit Era • Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) • Advanced graphics and sound capabilities • Competition with Sega Genesis • Lasting popularity
32/64-Bit Era • Gameboy Color • Nintendo 64 (N64) • 3-D graphics • Cartridge vs. disk • Expansion pack
128-Bit Era to Present • Switch to disk • Addition of features (such as online gameplay) • Moving closer to realistic graphics • Expanding the capabilities of what can be done
