Do you remember the first platform game? Most of you would of played it! You control a person jumping over barrels and climbing up ladders and for those who didn’t know the game is called Donkey Kong!
But what are the Platform games like today well now we Swim, shoot, get super powered, gain health, wander through 3D landscapes and even ride Rhinos. This is evidence of evolution games changing year after year till a game you played 10 years ago will be completely different to one from the same genre today! The changes are gradual and you only realize how much the genre has changed until you compare to one that came out years ago!
Even today right in front of are eyes games are evolving, in 5 years time they will not be a Platform game without a death match which companies, especially Rare are implementing into them! Nearly all shoot ‘em ups include Bots in death matches these days something which makers of the first Quake would never of considered. We are also witnessing an early stage of evolution in track editors, Revolt may not of been the first but grabbed the attention of developers, F-zero X has since implemented it in its add on, Tony Hawks 2 uses a skateboard park editor and Timesplitters with its death match editor. All of which will be common in 5 or 6 years time!
The evolution of games proves that the industry is constantly improving it self! The future of Gaming is very bright indeed!
Here’s to the future

You knew what I meant all along.
Explain yourself fully in future :)
Shut up. You know what I meant.
Developers in 1990 dreamt of it.
Developers in 1990 dreamt of it.
Yes I realise that is what you meant. But why is it a dream. You dream about mapping the planet earth into a computer game do you? I envy you. No, really.
The dream of mapping the entire Earth into a game you dork.
The dream???
And an evolution in storage has brought about changes as well. 10 years ago mapping the whole of Planet Earth into a game was something to be seen in Star Trek, but not anymore. With the advent of G-Surfers (PS2) the dream is a reality.
Evolution Morpheus. Like the dinosaur.
Games have evolved since then. Yes, into US!!!
