Seeing here,you must have guessed outmy topic:PC Games.T oday I’d like to talk about it in three aspects:it’s definition,history and classification.

Firstly, let’s look at itsdefinition.It’s short for ‘personal computer games’.It refers to a kind of computer program designed as games that could run on personal computers. Inshort, it’s a kind of software designed with the ability to entertain people.With the rapid development of the Internet and some other technologies, PC Games have gain more and more influence in the world. Some famous companies can even influence the world’s economy greatly. However, partly because it is so influential, no one can give it an exact definitionanymore, but what remain unchanged is itspurpose: toentertain us.

Secondly, let’s look back at its history. The first computer game

was created by Steve Russell, a student from MIT. The game is called Space war. The guy was really excited at his invention and immediately sends one to the Gamehall. However because it was so complex, it was a terrible failure. It was not until 1962 that the first success came—in 1971, an American named Nolan Bushnell launched his own PC Games company. And This the company named Atari has become the ancestor of Computer Games. The company designed a game called Computer Space. It was really a great success, and the game has occupied the place as the first successful PC Game. Then in the 1980s, thanks to Seven Jobs and his Apple computers, PC Games become really popular among ordinary people, and better equipment made it possible to design more complex games. Maybe Super Mario can best represent games during that period. But in 1989, a historical game called the prince of Persia came out. This is the birth of action games, and these games havedominated the world of PC Games since then.

Till now, PC Games can be roughly divided into five categories: RPG, FPS, ACT, TD and SLG. Each category has some difference with others, but they also something in common. And as a result, it’s sometimes really difficult to classify these games.
