Class Experience

In this class / camp, I will teach my students the history of video games. The rise and fall of their popularity over the years and how video games were initially created to be addictive and generate as much money as possible for the sellers of the games. As well as some recommendations for some classic games. 

The first lesson will cover:
- The first retro video games to capture the market.
- The rise of Atari.
- How Nintendo changed gaming forever.
- How role play created complex games allowing players to have tons of choice. 

The second less will cover: 
- The war between Sega and Nintendo to have control of the gaming world.
- The rise of violent video games and the controversy that came with it.
- How the market has evolved today. 
- How the programmers make games addictive to make more money.
