online games


Online games, are games where multiple people are involved, all at the same time from different computers. Thus transformed into a virtual battle between the competitors, in real time over a network, as we shall see later. Most online games are about war and commands between the characters that the participants choose. Similarly, there are other games online, they are less violent, but these do no attract large audiences. Now , you can play with or without the internet online games. Because if there is no connection, well, you can play in a local area network, with the number of connections required. Therefore, only the required equipment or hardware and that the same system, is networked. Furthermore, we have online games, which are perform trough the internet. These last games are the most used, since they can competed with anyone that connects to the server. So if a people is connected in the united states and china in the same game server, well, these two individuals and many others may share the same level. Today, many of the most popular online games that are purchased must carry a key for the Internet. However, this only gives a limited time to enter a network and play with other contenders. After that, you must pay each time you want to play online. Obviously, this situation changes, if you want to play in a local area network. There are game rooms with lots of computers connected to the line items for mass, and in these cases, you pay only for the time you want to play. However, as mentioned above, what most excites the fans of online fames is playing online with strangers from other countries.

First person who saw the online games

During the 1990s, online games started to move from a wide variety of LAN protocols and onto the Internet using the TCP/IP protocol. Doom popularized the concept of deathmatch, where multiple players battle each other head-to-head, as a new form of online game. Since Doom, many first-person shooter games contain online components to allow deathmatch or arena style play.

History of online games

The first commercial video game that came out was the famous Pong, which appeared in the 80s in a recreation room in California. From Pong, video games have undergone a continuous evolution to get to the sophisticated machines close to virtual reality that we see now in many recreational rooms.

The possibility of using a computer to play on networks started around 1979 when a group of students from the University of Essex created a computer version of a multiplayer role-playing game called Dungeons and Dragons, based on the use of alphanumeric text. Thus, emerged a new kind of games known as MUDs (Multi-User Dungeons or Domains) that will run quickly through the little-known Internet, and emerging the first virtual communities.
However, the real revolution of online games came in 1993 with the creation of the World Wide Web. Users had the option of free access to reduced versions of computer games for promotional purposes mainly, as is the case with the first delivery of Doom. Moreover, the rapid spread of the Internet as a medium of entertainment provided improved technologies for the networking of users and their approach to society.

It is also important to highlight the rise of the game that since the early 90s, are entertaining both children and adults.

Conclusion

In my opinion, the online games are a breakthrough because it allows people to play with people who do not know.
In addition, I think it is a form of entertainment that can help learn, and give a lot of money.
The downside that I see online games is that in some cases, violent games can create more violence, and that is not good when you play with other people.
But in general the online game, do not have to be bad.
