Which Kind of Video Games Do You Prefer?
Since the 1970s video games entered the entertainment sector in a new ground-breaking way. Even Hollywood recognized the power of computer games for the future. In 1982 Tron (1982) was released, a picture that dealt with the imagination of the inner space of computers - the digital revolution started. Many gamers are bound to their passion. Since then many other game-based movies came out, one of them was Ready Player One (2018), directed by Steven Spielberg. Within the last 50 years, there have been multiple changes in the gameplay, the graphics, the sound and the complexity of the games.

- Navigate Pac-Man through a maze escaping ghosts and eating Pac-Dots.For me the essential classics are the only basic truth in playing video games, which means very basic games like Pong (1972), Pac-Man (1980) or Snake, eventually Tetris (1984), which was re-made in the same, but monochrome style about five years later for the Nintendo Game Boy System.
- DirectorShigeru MiyamotoTwo plumber brothers, Mario and Luigi, come across unearthly creatures while searching sewer pipes, so they must do their job and clear the pipes.Classical Jump and Runs are my love, like Mario Bros. (1983), Bomb Jack (1984), Donkey Kong (1981), Turrican (1989) or The Great Giana Sisters (1987).
- You are Rockford, and you must guide him through a series of caves to hunt for diamonds. You must collect enough of them in order to exit each cave, while at the same time dodging deadly falling rocks, fireflies, and other perils.I like early thinking games which were a little more intelligent like the legendary Boulder Dash (1984), Mahjong (1981) or Loco-Motion (1982) - there was an Amiga 500 remake which was completely underestimated at its release time in 1992: Locomotion playthrough guide (yt). The look at the gameplay and explanations about it start at 1 Minute and 10 Seconds.
- A computer adaptation of the popular card game.I best like the classical "office"-games like Solitaire (1981), Spider Solitaire (1998) or Pyramid Solitaire.
- StarsDennis FaltRace your Indy car around the Fuji course before the timer runs out. The first run is the qualifying lap and your starting position is determined by your completion time. Avoid road hazards and other cars as you drive, earning extra time for each completed lap.
- Pilot your jet destroying the enemy and looking for fuel reserves in the Atari 2600 game.Give me some shoot em' ups like River Raid (1982), 1942 (1984), Galaga (1981) or Giga Wing (1999) and I'll be delighted.
- Guide the hapless Lemmings back home safely in every level with the limited tools provided.
- Space Aliens are dumbifying the general public through the telephone system, so tabloid reporter Zak McKracken, along with the help of an anthropologist and her friends, they set out to destroy the dumbifying devices and save the earth.I like oldschool 2D adventures like Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders (1988), Maniac Mansion (1987), The Curse of Monkey Island (1997), Day of the Tentacle (1993) or Simon the Sorcerer (1993).
- DirectorJon Van CaneghamLord Morglin Ironfist is forced to flee his homeland through a magical portal, because his cousin, Ragnar, has usurped the throne after his uncle, Ragnar's father, killed Ironfist's father, the legitimate owner of the throne.Turn-based games like Heroes of Might and Magic (1995), Heroes of Might and Magic II (2000) or Heroes of Might and Magic III: The Restoration of Erathia (1999) are the cream of the cream for me.

- Animated chess game set in a medieval setting with some fantasy elements. Each time a piece takes another, short battle animation plays. These short animated battles to the death sometimes have a funny twist to them.I simply like the old board games, they are great.
