They might feel like a staple in modern day life, but just a few decades ago...video games were as new and fascinating as virtual reality is now. Video games have influenced our culture, history, and way of life since 1972. Pong - the classic game that's essentially electronic tennis. Developed by Atari...Pong caught on instantly and was Sears' hottest selling item on the department store shelves. In the 1980's we met Donkey Kong...and along with him...of course, Mario, who would become the face of Nintendo for years to come. In the 90's, Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog broke onto the scene...and a few years later Pokemon became the most popular children character...selling out toys, trading cards, and even a movie. Gaming has gone from arcade games to consoles to online-gaming and smartphones...setting up a whole new culture to go along with each. While video games are often based in fantasy...they also reflect both history and current events. Whether that's a good or a bad thing...is up for debate. War is often something depicted in popular games like Call of Duty and Warfare. Players can pretend they are fighting in the war on terror in Iran, Iraq, and Afghanistan...or jump back in time to World War Two. But do violent games lead to violence in real life? According to the American Psychological Association, violent video games can be a risk factor for aggression. In 2017, APA concluded that violent video game exposure was linked to increased aggressive behaviors, thoughts, and emotions, as well as decreased empathy. But it's not all bad. Tech media company inverse published a report about the changing landscape of gaming. Writing that the industry is prioritizing empathy by diversifying characters and creating different goals. Many times, games can enhance learning and curiosity in players...and can even be educational. Video games known as "stimulation games" like the popular Tycoon series and The Sims are a good examples of this. In Rollercoaster Tycoon...players must successfully build and manage an amusement park...bringing in enough guests to keep it afloat and managing every aspect of the business. And of course...we can't talk about strategic life simulation games without talking about The Sims...where players have to build and decorate a home, manage relationships, and stay happy while on a budget. (Yeah...unless you knew that Rosebud cheat code but let's pretend we played fair.) The nonprofit Games for Change has been contributing to this so-called renaissance in gaming...rewarding innovators and raising interest in games with positive real world application.
