Evolution of Gaming

I remember when video games and consoles were just that. I grew up with the Super Nintendo. I loved that system. Countless days were spent in front of that television playing games like Super Mario World, Knights of the Round, Final Fight 3, Turtles In Time. Games were much simpler back then, yet they were great as is.

I'm not talking about evolution as if it's a bad thing. It's not. In fact, it's the exact opposite. The term evolution is always, and should always, be used in a positive manner. And that's what I'm doing.

Times are so much different now. It's like night and day. Apples and oranges. The differences are mind-blowing, but they're also what make it great.

Consoles nowadays have games you can play with people all around the world--from Japan, to Italy, to Mexico. You name it. Consoles are also more than a gaming console. Consoles nowadays have things such as Skype, Netflix, ESPN, etc.

The days I grew up on are over. Never again will a system be just that, and it shouldn't be. We've come a long, long way from the days of the Atari, NES, SNES, Genesis. It needed to happen. And I for one am really glad that it did. Now the newer generation can be treated to all the nice features that come with their console, while we older gamers can still play and enjoy them.

It's a great thing called the evolution of gaming. Battlefield 4 - Xbox One Halo - Xbox One Xbox One Wireless Controller Xbox One Console - Titanfall Bundle PlayStation 4 Console Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag - PlayStation 4
