Video game

A video game is a game played using an electronic device.

Often "video game" is taken in a narrow sense to mean those games played on consoles for television and similar handhelds, with computer games and coin-operated arcade games treated separately. This is because the early games of these three categories were usually very different. However, now there is considerable similarity between them, and the same game may appear on devices in different categories. See history of the video game for more information.

Video games are made by developers, sometimes individuals, but almost always a team consisting of directors, graphic designers, programmers, musicians and other technicians. Many teams easily number into the hundreds on larger projects, such as MMORPG's (for example, EverQuest or Asheron's Call) or complex RPG's (SEGA's Shenmue, Baldur's Gate, NeverWinter Nights[?]). But most are still made up of about a dozen closely working developers. Id Software is a good example of a smaller, more tightly focused developer.

Below is an alphabetized listing of the main genres of video games and some examples of games for each genre. This list is by no means complete or comprehensive. Many of these categories are somewhat overlapping. GTA, for example, is an adventure, a shooter and 2D or 3D depending on version.

Most popular board games, card games, and the like have been computerized to some degree or another. For example, more than 600 freeware board games are available written in Zillions.

are the rocks on fire with the sun; and the dewdrops cooler than little soul. THE WINE HORN. The dark Clove is my fragrance! THE FLOWERS ring eagerly, and turning up their faces, cry: "We too, smell sweet." But the voices of VIEW OF ITALY, FLUME OF STEAM, and THINGS come back, and kiss you. SEELCHEN. [Whispering] Peace for my heart! THE COW HORN. With me thou shalt lie on the warm wild thyme. THE FLOWERS laugh happily. THE WINE HORN. With me you shall lie on a bed of dove's feathers. THE FLOWERS moan. THE WINE HORN. I will give you old wine. THE COW HORN. I will give thee new milk. THE WINE HORN. Hear my song! From far away comes the sound as of mandolins. SEELCHEN. [Clasping her breast] My heart--it is leaving me! THE COW HORN. Hear my song! From the distance floats the piping of a Shepherd's reed. SEELCHEN. [Curving her hand at her ears] The piping! Ah! THE COW HORN. Stay with me, Seelchen! THE WINE HORN. Come with me, Seelchen! THE COW HORN. I give thee certainty! THE WINE HORN. I give you chance! THE COW HORN. I give thee peace. THE WINE HORN. I give you change. .
