The Galaxy Arcade Game - The First Of Its Kind

By Terry Standa

In 1971, Galaxy Game was the first arcade video game that was widely known. The following year was the release of Pong, which was the start of the popular gaming industry. Now, gaming is so ubiquitous that it has left the arcades and colonized our computers.

One popular form of gaming are online games, those addicting multi-player games that are found both on computers and now on home consoles. Online games are widely played, with levels of difficulty ranging from beginning to advanced.

Without question, there is no shortage of variety when it comes to all the genres that are available with these online games. You've got those classic arcade games such as NBA Jam, as well as of course, the most popular, Role Playing Games. Believe it or not, you will find a lot of them for free. An incredible feature of the real time environment is that even after you sign out of the game, it still goes on without you. This means by the time you log back in, the game could look completely different.

But there are a ton of websites that charge for playing these online games. The way it works is that many of these websites allocate points for wining which can then be exchanged for prizes. Pogo.com is one of the websites that does this. They actually take it even a step further because as you earn tokens for winning these games, they can later be traded in to be a part of a random drawing to win bigger prizes.

You'll also notice that several role paying games give extra benefits who pay for using their services. Take a look at a role playing game like Runescape. The games allows paid players to have extra access to weapons win which they normally would not have had, if they weren't paying for the priviladge. Also, as games get more widely popular, you can rest assured that these video games will eventually look more realistically than they do already.

Actually on March 27, 2007 the game Uno became the first ever game that was downloaded over a million times. It's popularity increased when it was available as a console download when it reached over 25 million downloads.

However, arcade video games are not the only ones that are readily available to be downloaded. For instance you will also see that many online games are also classic sports video games such as the ever popular and famous Madden football series. There are players playing this game against each other all over the world.

As with online games, console games also have additional content users can download. Games such as Rock Band and Guitar Hero offer new songs to play for download, as does the Xbox for the game Rock Band.
