Pac-Man Meets Game Boy
By Jane Runyon |
|
1 Video games entered the entertainment scene in the latter half of the 1970's. In North America, all ages could be found in arcades playing shooting games such as Space Invaders or Defenders. The player hit a firing button and tried to destroy as many "space ships" as he or she could. If the player was more interested in sports, games based on Pong were the rage. In Pong, the player moved a bar back and forth across the bottom of the screen. A ball would hit the bar and bounce back toward the top of the screen. Another bar moving across the top of the screen would hit the ball back. The second bar could be moved by the computer or by a second player.
