Welcome to The Guide to Video Game Genres
Welcome to my site. In this site I will talk about the 5 main genres of video games: Action, Adventure, Simulation, Strategy, and RPG's
Video games have their roots in the cathode ray tube amusement device made in 1947. Video games then improved until the 1970's when arcade games started to be made. It started with Galaxy Game, the first coin operated arcade game, made in 1971. The next year the first video game console, the Magnavox Odsyssey, was made. This started the making of home game consoles. Games now start to gain genres. In 1974 the first first person shooter was made. Also in the same year the first flight simulator, Airfight came out. The next year the first text adventure, simply called Adventure, was made. These early starts gave way to trends for many games. Leading to game companies like Nintendo and Sega. Leading to the genres of video games we know today. Learn more about the history of video games here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_video_games
