Most games will launch into a [title screen](/wiki/Title%5Fscreen) and give the player a chance to review options such as the number of players before starting a game. Most games are divided into [levels](/wiki/Level%5F%28video%5Fgames%29) which the player must work the avatar through, [scoring points](/wiki/Score%5F%28game%29), collecting [power-ups](/wiki/Power-up) to boost the avatar's innate attributes, all while either using special attacks to defeat enemies or moves to avoid them. This information is relayed to the player through a type of on-screen [user interface](/wiki/User%5Finterface) such as a [heads-up display](/wiki/Heads-up%5Fdisplay%5F%28video%5Fgames%29) atop the rendering of the game itself. Taking damage will deplete their avatar's [health](/wiki/Health%5F%28game%5Fterminology%29), and if that falls to zero or if the avatar otherwise falls into an impossible-to-escape location, the player will lose one of their [lives](/wiki/Life%5F%28video%5Fgames%29). Should they lose all their lives without gaining an [extra life or "1-UP"](/wiki/Extra%5Flife), then the player will reach the "[game over](/wiki/Game%5Fover)" screen. Many levels as well as the game's finale end with a type of [boss](/wiki/Boss%5F%28video%5Fgames%29) character the player must defeat to continue on. In some games, intermediate points between levels will offer [save points](/wiki/Save%5Fpoint) where the player can create a [saved game](/wiki/Saved%5Fgame) on storage media to restart the game should they lose all their lives or need to stop the game and restart at a later time. These also may be in the form of a passage that can be written down and reentered at the title screen.\[_[citation needed](/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation%5Fneeded)_\] #################### File: en-wikipedia-org-wiki-Video_game-7.txt Page: 1 Context: Toggle the table of contents # Video game 134 languages #################### File: en-wikipedia-org-wiki-Video_game-7.txt Page: 1 Context: * [Кыргызча](https://ky.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%92%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE%5F%D0%BE%D1%8E%D0%BD) * [Ladin](https://lld.wikipedia.org/wiki/Videojuech) * [ລາວ](https://lo.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%BA%A7%E0%BA%B5%E0%BA%94%E0%BA%B5%E0%BB%82%E0%BA%AD%E0%BB%80%E0%BA%81%E0%BA%A1) * [Latina](https://la.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lusus%5Fmagnetoscopicus) * [LatvieÅ¡u](https://lv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Videosp%C4%93le) * [Lëtzebuergesch](https://lb.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computerspill) * [Lietuvių](https://lt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kompiuterinis%5F%C5%BEaidimas) * [Limburgs](https://li.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computersjpel) * [Lingála](https://ln.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lit%C3%A1mbwisi-masano) * [La .lojban.](https://jbo.wikipedia.org/wiki/samselkei) * [Lombard](https://lmo.wikipedia.org/wiki/Videogioch) * [Magyar](https://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vide%C3%B3j%C3%A1t%C3%A9k) * [Македонски](https://mk.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%92%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE%D0%B8%D0%B3%D1%80%D0%B0) #################### File: en-wikipedia-org-wiki-Video_game-7.txt Page: 1 Context: | [Authority control databases](/wiki/Help:Authority%5Fcontrol): National [](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7889#identifiers) | [Germany](https://d-nb.info/gnd/4010457-6)[United States](https://id.loc.gov/authorities/sh85143202)[Czech Republic](https://aleph.nkp.cz/F/?func=find-c&local%5Fbase=aut&ccl%5Fterm=ica=fd1096891&CON%5FLNG=ENG)[2](https://aleph.nkp.cz/F/?func=find-c&local%5Fbase=aut&ccl%5Fterm=ica=ph137442&CON%5FLNG=ENG)[Korea](https://lod.nl.go.kr/resource/KSH2001010817)[2](https://lod.nl.go.kr/resource/KSH1998043749)[Israel](http://olduli.nli.org.il/F/?func=find-b&local%5Fbase=NLX10&find%5Fcode=UID&request=987007538909705171) | | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Retrieved from "" [Categories](/wiki/Help:Category): * [Video games](/wiki/Category:Video%5Fgames) * [Games and sports introduced in 1947](/wiki/Category:Games%5Fand%5Fsports%5Fintroduced%5Fin%5F1947) * [Digital media](/wiki/Category:Digital%5Fmedia) #################### File: en-wikipedia-org-wiki-Video_game-7.txt Page: 1 Context: * [മലയാളം](https://ml.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%B4%AA%E0%B5%86%E0%B4%B4%E0%B5%8D%E0%B4%B8%E0%B4%A3%E0%B5%BD%5F%E0%B4%95%E0%B4%AE%E0%B5%8D%E0%B4%AA%E0%B5%8D%E0%B4%AF%E0%B5%82%E0%B4%9F%E0%B5%8D%E0%B4%9F%E0%B5%BC%5F%E0%B4%97%E0%B5%86%E0%B4%AF%E0%B4%BF%E0%B4%82) * [मराठी](https://mr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%A4%B5%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%B9%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%A1%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%93%5F%E0%A4%97%E0%A5%87%E0%A4%AE) * [مصرى](https://arz.wikipedia.org/wiki/%DA%A4%D9%8A%D8%AF%D9%8A%D9%88%5F%D8%AC%D9%8A%D9%85) * [مازِرونی](https://mzn.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D9%88%DB%8C%D8%AF%D8%A6%D9%88%5F%DA%A9%D8%A7%D8%A1) * [Bahasa Melayu](https://ms.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permainan%5Fvideo) #################### File: en-wikipedia-org-wiki-Video_game-7.txt Page: 1 Context: ##

Apple](/wiki/Epic%5FGames%5Fv.%5FApple)_ which dealt with video games offered on Apple's [iOS App Store](/wiki/App%5FStore%5F%28iOS%29). Among concerns raised were games like _[Fortnite Creative](/wiki/Fortnite%5FCreative)_ and _[Roblox](/wiki/Roblox)_ which created [metaverses](/wiki/Metaverse) of interactive experiences, and whether the larger game and the individual experiences themselves were games or not in relation to fees that Apple charged for the App Store. Judge [Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers](/wiki/Yvonne%5FGonzalez%5FRogers), recognizing that there was yet an industry standard definition for a video game, established for her ruling that "At a bare minimum, video games appear to require some level of interactivity or involvement between the player and the medium" compared to passive entertainment like film, music, and television, and "videogames are also generally graphically rendered or animated, as opposed to being recorded live or via motion capture as in films or television".[\[33\]](#cite%5Fnote-pcgamer%5Fepic%5Fcase%5Fdef-34) Rogers still concluded that what is a video game "appears highly eclectic and diverse".[\[33\]](#cite%5Fnote-pcgamer%5Fepic%5Fcase%5Fdef-34) ### Video game terminology See also: [Glossary of video game terms](/wiki/Glossary%5Fof%5Fvideo%5Fgame%5Fterms) [](/wiki/File:Freedoom002%5F01.png) #################### File: en-wikipedia-org-wiki-Video_game-7.txt Page: 1 Context: With the growth of the size of development teams in the industry, the problem of cost has increased.

Indie games are made by small teams outside any direct publisher control, their games being smaller in scope than those from the larger "[AAA](/wiki/AAA%5F%28video%5Fgame%5Findustry%29)" game studios, and are often experiments in gameplay and art style. Indie game development is aided by the larger availability of digital distribution, including the newer mobile gaming market, and readily-available and low-cost development tools for these platforms.[\[88\]](#cite%5Fnote-indie%5Fdreams-89) ### Game theory and studies | [](/wiki/File:Question%5Fbook-new.svg) | This section **needs additional citations for [verification](/wiki/Wikipedia:Verifiability)**.

The video game market is also a major influence behind the [electronics industry](/wiki/Electronics%5Findustry), where [personal computer](/wiki/Personal%5Fcomputer) component, console, and peripheral sales, as well as consumer demands for better game performance, have been powerful driving factors for hardware design and innovation. ## Origins Main articles: [History of video games](/wiki/History%5Fof%5Fvideo%5Fgames) and [Early history of video games](/wiki/Early%5Fhistory%5Fof%5Fvideo%5Fgames) Further information: [History of arcade video games](/wiki/History%5Fof%5Farcade%5Fvideo%5Fgames) #################### File: en-wikipedia-org-wiki-Video_game-7.txt Page: 1 Context: Main article: [Game studies](/wiki/Game%5Fstudies) Although departments of computer science have been studying the technical aspects of video games for years, theories that examine games as an artistic medium are a relatively recent development in the humanities. The two most visible schools in this emerging field are [ludology](/wiki/Ludology) and [narratology](/wiki/Narratology). Narrativists approach video games in the context of what [Janet Murray](/wiki/Janet%5FMurray) calls "Cyberdrama". That is to say, their major concern is with video games as a storytelling medium, one that arises out of [interactive fiction](/wiki/Interactive%5Ffiction). Murray puts video games in the context of the [Holodeck](/wiki/Holodeck), a fictional piece of technology from _[Star Trek](/wiki/Star%5FTrek)_, arguing for the video game as a medium in which the player is allowed to become another person, and to act out in another world.[\[89\]](#cite%5Fnote-90) This image of video games received early widespread popular support, and forms the basis of films such as _[Tron](/wiki/Tron)_, _[eXistenZ](/wiki/EXistenZ)_ and _[The Last Starfighter](/wiki/The%5FLast%5FStarfighter)_. #################### File: en-wikipedia-org-wiki-Video_game-7.txt Page: 1 Context: 1. ^ [Jump up to: _**a**_](#cite%5Fref-vg%5Findustry%5Fsize%5F2020%5F2-0) [_**b**_](#cite%5Fref-vg%5Findustry%5Fsize%5F2020%5F2-1) Hall, Stefan (15 May 2020).

gameplay, such as [action game](/wiki/Action%5Fgame), [role playing game](/wiki/Computer%5Frole%5Fplaying%5Fgame), or [shoot 'em up](/wiki/Shoot%5F%27em%5Fup), though some genres have derivations from influential works that have defined that genre, such as [roguelikes](/wiki/Roguelike) from _[Rogue](/wiki/Rogue%5F%28video%5Fgame%29)_,[\[61\]](#cite%5Fnote-62) [Grand Theft Auto

film _[Battle Royale](/wiki/Battle%5FRoyale%5F%28film%29)_.[\[63\]](#cite%5Fnote-64) The names may shift over time as players, developers and the media come up with new terms; for example, [first-person shooters](/wiki/First-person%5Fshooter) were originally called "Doom clones" based on [the 1993 game](/wiki/Doom%5F%281993%5Fvideo%5Fgame%29).[\[64\]](#cite%5Fnote-65) A hierarchy of game genres exist, with top-level genres like "shooter game" and "action game" that broadly capture the game's main gameplay style, and several subgenres of specific implementation, such as within the shooter game [first-person shooter](/wiki/First-person%5Fshooter) and [third-person shooter](/wiki/Third-person%5Fshooter). Some cross-genre types also exist that fall until multiple top-level genres such as [action-adventure game](/wiki/Action-adventure%5Fgame). ### Mode #################### File: en-wikipedia-org-wiki-Video_game-7.txt Page: 1 Context: ### Definition While many games readily fall into a clear, well-understood definition of video games, new genres and innovations in game development have raised the question of what are the essential factors of a video game that separate the medium from other forms of entertainment. The introduction of [interactive films](/wiki/Interactive%5Ffilm) in the 1980s with games like _[Dragon's Lair](/wiki/Dragon%27s%5FLair)_, featured games with [full motion video](/wiki/Full%5Fmotion%5Fvideo) played off a form of media but only limited user interaction.[\[30\]](#cite%5Fnote-31) This had required a means to distinguish these games from more traditional board games that happen to also use external media, such as the _Clue VCR Mystery Game_ which required players to watch VCR clips between turns. To distinguish between these two, video games are considered to require some interactivity that affects the visual display.[\[14\]](#cite%5Fnote-wolf%5Fmedium%5Fchp1-15) Most video games tend to feature some type of victory or winning conditions, such as a scoring mechanism or a final [boss](/wiki/Boss%5F%28video%5Fgame%29) fight. The introduction of [walking simulators](/wiki/Walking%5Fsimulator) ([adventure games](/wiki/Adventure%5Fgame) that allow for exploration but lack any objectives) like _[Gone Home](/wiki/Gone%5FHome)_, and [empathy games](/wiki/Empathy%5Fgame) (video games that tend to focus on emotion) like _[That Dragon, Cancer](/wiki/That%5FDragon,%5FCancer)_ brought the idea of games that did not have any such type of winning condition and raising the question of whether these were actually games.[\[31\]](#cite%5Fnote-32) These are still commonly justified as video games as they provide a game world that the player can interact with by some means.[\[32\]](#cite%5Fnote-33) #################### File: en-wikipedia-org-wiki-Video_game-7.txt Page: 1 Context: 138. **[^](#cite%5Fref-139)** Parkin, Simon (8 August 2019).

Numerous browser and mobile games fall into the casual game area, and casual games often are from genres with low intensity game elements such as [match three](/wiki/Match%5Fthree), [hidden object](/wiki/Hidden%5Fobject), [time management](/wiki/Time%5FManagement%5F%28video%5Fgame%5Fgenre%29), and [puzzle](/wiki/Puzzle%5Fvideo%5Fgame) games.[\[67\]](#cite%5Fnote-68) Causal games frequently use [social-network game](/wiki/Social-network%5Fgame) mechanics, where players can enlist the help of friends on their social media networks for extra turns or moves each day.[\[68\]](#cite%5Fnote-69) Popular casual games include _[Tetris](/wiki/Tetris)_ and _[Candy Crush Saga](/wiki/Candy%5FCrush%5FSaga)_.

In addition to collecting home video game consoles, the Electronics Conservancy organization set out to locate and restore 400 antique arcade cabinets after realizing that the majority of these games had been destroyed and feared the loss of their historical significance.[\[25\]](#cite%5Fnote-26) Video games have significantly begun to be seen in the real-world as a purpose to present history in a way of understanding the methodology and terms that are being compared. Researchers have looked at how historical representations affect how the public perceives the past, and digital humanists encourage historians to use video games as primary materials.[\[26\]](#cite%5Fnote-27) Video games, considering their past and age, have over time progressed as what a video game really means. Whether played through a monitor, TV, or a hand-held device, there are many ways that video games are being displayed for users to enjoy. People have drawn comparisons between flow-state-engaged video gamers and pupils in conventional school settings. In traditional, teacher-led classrooms, students have little say in what they learn, are passive consumers of the information selected by teachers, are required to follow the pace and skill level of the group (group teaching), and receive brief, imprecise, normative feedback on their work.[\[27\]](#cite%5Fnote-28) Video games, as they continue to develop into better graphic definitions and genres, create new terminology when something unknown tends to become known. Yearly, consoles are being created to compete against other brands with similar functioning features that tend to lead the consumer into which they'd like to purchase. Now, companies have moved towards games only the specific console can play to grasp the consumer into purchasing their product compared to when video games first began, there was little to no variety. In 1989, a console war began with Nintendo, one of the biggest in gaming, up against target, Sega with their brand new Master System which, failed to compete, allowing the Nintendo Emulator System to be one of the most consumed products in the world.[\[28\]](#cite%5Fnote-29) More technology continued to be created, as the computer began to be used in people's houses for more than just office and daily use.

They argue that a video game is first and foremost a game, which must be understood in terms of its rules, interface, and the concept of play that it deploys. [Espen J. Aarseth](/wiki/Espen%5FJ.%5FAarseth) argues that, although games certainly have plots, characters, and aspects of traditional narratives, these aspects are incidental to gameplay. For example, Aarseth is critical of the widespread attention that narrativists have given to the heroine of the game _[Tomb Raider](/wiki/Tomb%5FRaider)_, saying that "the dimensions of [Lara Croft](/wiki/Lara%5FCroft)'s body, already analyzed to death by [film theorists](/wiki/Film%5Ftheory), are irrelevant to me as a player, because a different-looking body would not make me play differently... When I play, I don't even see her body, but see through it and past it."[\[90\]](#cite%5Fnote-91) Simply put, ludologists reject traditional theories of art because they claim that the artistic and socially relevant qualities of a video game are primarily determined by the underlying set of rules, demands, and expectations imposed on the player. While many games rely on [emergent principles](/wiki/Emergence), video games commonly present simulated story worlds where emergent behavior occurs within the context of the game. The term "emergent narrative" has been used to describe how, in a simulated environment, storyline can be created simply by "what happens to the player."[\[91\]](#cite%5Fnote-92) However, emergent behavior is not limited to sophisticated games. In general, any place where event-driven instructions occur for [AI](/wiki/Artificial%5Fintelligence) in a game, emergent behavior will exist. For instance, take a racing game in which cars are programmed to avoid crashing, and they encounter an obstacle in the track: the cars might then maneuver to avoid the obstacle causing the cars behind them to slow or maneuver to accommodate the cars in front of them and the obstacle. The programmer never wrote code to specifically create a traffic jam, yet one now exists in the game. ### Intellectual property for video games #################### File: en-wikipedia-org-wiki-Video_game-7.txt Page: 1 Context: [Fifth (1993–2005)](/wiki/Fifth%5Fgeneration%5Fof%5Fvideo%5Fgame%5Fconsoles) [Sixth (1998–2013)](/wiki/Sixth%5Fgeneration%5Fof%5Fvideo%5Fgame%5Fconsoles) [Seventh (2005–2017)](/wiki/Seventh%5Fgeneration%5Fof%5Fvideo%5Fgame%5Fconsoles) [Eighth (2012–)](/wiki/Eighth%5Fgeneration%5Fof%5Fvideo%5Fgame%5Fconsoles) [Ninth (2020–)](/wiki/Ninth%5Fgeneration%5Fof%5Fvideo%5Fgame%5Fconsoles) show[v](/wiki/Template:Video%5Fgame%5Fgenre)[t](/wiki/Template%5Ftalk:Video%5Fgame%5Fgenre)[e](/wiki/Special:EditPage/Template:Video%5Fgame%5Fgenre)[Video game genres](/wiki/Video%5Fgame%5Fgenre) [List of video game genres](/wiki/List%5Fof%5Fvideo%5Fgame%5Fgenres) [Action](/wiki/Action%5Fgame)[Platformer](/wiki/Platformer) [Endless runner](/wiki/Endless%5Frunner) [Platform fighter](/wiki/Platform%5Ffighter) [Shooter](/wiki/Shooter%5Fgame) [Arena](/wiki/Arena%5Fshooter) [First-person](/wiki/First-person%5Fshooter) [Hero](/wiki/Hero%5Fshooter) [Light gun](/wiki/Light%5Fgun%5Fshooter) [Shoot 'em up](/wiki/Shoot%5F%27em%5Fup) [Bullet hell](/wiki/Bullet%5Fhell) [Rail](/wiki/Rail%5Fshooter) [Twin-stick](/wiki/Twin-stick%5Fshooter) [Tactical](/wiki/Tactical%5Fshooter) #################### File: en-wikipedia-org-wiki-Video_game-7.txt Page: 1 Context: [](/wiki/File:How%5Fvideo%5Fgames%5Fcan%5Fboost%5Fyour%5Fmental%5Fhealth.webm) How can video games boost your mental health? – Max Birk ([Eindhoven University of Technology](/wiki/Eindhoven%5FUniversity%5Fof%5FTechnology)) #################### File: en-wikipedia-org-wiki-Video_game-7.txt Page: 1 Context: * Salen, Katie; Eric Zimmerman (2005). _The Game Design Reader: A Rules of Play Anthology_.
