Why
is this important to hardware technologies for game platforms?
Human Computer Interface
Human-Computer
Interaction(HCI) is a discipline concerned with the design, evaluation
and implementation of interactivecomputingsystems forhumanise and with the study of major phenomena surrounding them.
The central processing unit is part of a computer which are
controlled and executed.
This is important to hardware technology for game platforms because
it controls the cpu in technology.
Graphic Processors
Graphicdesign is theprocessof visual communication, and
problem-solving through the use of type, space, image and color. The field is
considered a subset of visual communication and communication design, but
sometimes the term "graphicdesign" is used interchangeably
with these due to overlapping skills involved.
Graphic design is basically the process of the visual communication
and also the problem solving.
This is important for hardware technology for game platforms because
it keeps hold of your storage for games.
Memory (RAM)
RAM (pronounced ramm) is an acronym for random accessmemory, a type of computer
memory that
can be accessed randomly ;
that is, any byte of memory can be accessed
without touching the preceding bytes. RAM is the most common type of memory
found in computers and other devices, such as printers.
The sound card can be settled into a computer of the audio components.
This is important to hardware technology because is slots into a
computer and helps it.
Game Storage Medium
In computers, a storage medium is any technology (including
devices and materials) used to place, keep, and retrieve data.
A medium is
an element used in communicating a message; on a storage medium, the
"messages" - in the form of data - are suspended for use when
needed. The plural form of this term is storage media. Although
the termstorage includes
both primary storage (memory),
a storage medium usually means a place to hold secondary storage such
as that on a hard disk or tape.
The game storage medium is basically any technology that can keep or
retrieve data.
This is important to hardware technology and game platforms because
is stores all your data for games but also computers.
Interface Devices
Aninterface device(IDF) is a hardware component or
system of components that allows a human being to interact with a computer, a
telephone system, or other electronic information system.
Connectivity is the capacity of the platforms systems.
This is important to hardware technology and game platforms because
it helps you to connect with everyone all around the world.
Power Supply
Apower supplyis an electronic device that supplieselectric energy to an electrical
load. The primary function of apower supplyis to convert one form of electrical
energy to another and, as a result,power suppliesare sometimes referred to as
electricpowerconverters.
Pong 1972 Although it wasn't the first, Atari's Pong was the first video game to get the ball rolling -- or bouncing, as it were. Humble even by contemporary standards, Pong was an effort to introduce a video game so intuitive that even a child (or inebriated bar patron) could grasp it instantly. It was in many ways a reaction to the first commercial arcade video game, Computer Space, from 1971, an overly ambitious effort based on Spacewar!, a pioneering mainframe computer-based space combat simulation from the 1960s developed by and for engineers (which will be covered in an upcoming article, "Spacewar! (1962): The Best Waste of Time in the History of the Universe"). Unfortunately, Computer Space proved too complex for the first wave of would-be gamers to handle. Whereas Computer Space had boldly gone where no coin-op had gone before, Pong merely asked players to "avoid missing ball for high score." The banal but intuitive game play made it the right game at the right time.
In 1972, most Americans were just getting used to color television; the idea of playing an actual game on a TV screen was revolutionary. What Pong really achieved, then, was demonstrating to the masses that computers were far more than esoteric tools for engineers and rocket scientists. It was the TV game of the future -- a future they were now part of. Maze game 1973 The maze game was the first colour game in the arcade history it was also the first controversial game ever. The maze game was originally in black and white but then it was made into colour.
1974 In 1974 there was a hole bunch of arcade game that were made including a game that helped Atari from closing down which was called Tank, the next arcade game was the first ever car game called Gran Track 10 it was the first driving game ever loads of people played this game. The third arcade game was called quak which was the first ever game to use a light gun in there game. They also made the first basketball game called one on one this was not made by atari this was made ny another company called PMC. 1975 The first ever CPU game which was called gun fight the game was made fantastic because you whouild actually stand and instead of using joysticks you whouild use guns to shoot the cowboys now. Another game which was related was called bullet mark which is similar to the gun fight except that it is you do not have to hold it because it is already rested on the counter this is when sega stopped doing ping pong and started with the bullet mark.
In 1977 there was a game called space wars which was developed, space wars was the first vector arcade game that was made it was the most popular game ever in 1977 which it ramaind until space invaders was made which was then popular.

PC Gaming
There is a lot about PC gaming which is that pc gaming is better because of the graphics on certain games such as games that are on the consoles that can be played on the PC such as call of duty and also battlefield. The most popular game on pc is League of legends it is the most popular game ever with over 27 million people who play it every day. PC gaming is popular to a lot of people. A lot of people play a lot of pc games more than they play consoles. Their are other PC games aswell like space invaders and pack man.
Mobile gaming Mobile gaming is not one of the most popular but people do play games on the mobile device the famous game that they had was snake. Snake was a popular game in the 1990s people played it all the time. In 1994 there was a game called Tetris. Three years later Nokia made a game called snake which was very popular WAP soon gave way to services such as J2ME, BREW and Nokia's own Series 40 and Series 60 operating systems. These platforms enabled significantly more complex programmes to be distributed to handsets, catching the attention of major gaming studios. Around the turn of the millennium, colour handsets flooded the market, replete with Java and flash support and more robust online capabilities. Studios such as Sega, Namco, THQ, EA and Gameloft leaped upon this untapped resource, developing exclusive content for mobile phone users. Early colour titles - such as Tetris, Pac-man and various other puzzlers - still looked primitive compared to mainstream handheld consoles of the day, but bigger and better things were just around the corner. Sega's Super Monkey Ball was the first major console to mobile conversion, and the game's popularity paved the way for many other high-profile franchises to make the jump to cell phone. Gameloft scaled down Ubisoft's Splinter Cell, EA delivered tailored editions of its popular sports series and Sega rendered some of its Genesis catalogue in Java. Although things were moving forward at an incredible rate, mobile phone gaming was still addled by hardware constraints. Numeric keypads were never intended as gaming interfaces, and Java-based offerings had limited appeal to anyone outside of the casual demographic. In 2003, Nokia attempted to bridge the gap between mobile phones and gaming devices with the launch of the N-Gage. Based on the Nokia Series 60 platform, the device was launched as an attempt to lure gamers away from the Game Boy Advance. Despite being considerably more powerful and offering communication and online support, the system was a commercial failure. Support from major franchises including Tomb Raider, Call Of Duty and Sonic The Hedgehog didn't change the fact that the console's buttons were poorly suited for gaming and its design clunky and unappealing. However, the N-Gage did attract a cult following and is something of a collector's item today. Moreover, the online service that Nokia launched to back the device was ahead of its time. Many of its services were integrated into the firm's Ovi Store in the ensuing years.
History of TV gaming
Year: 1978
Not everyone could afford a home console back in 1978 so Florida TV syndicator Marvin Kempner came up with the idea of a segment where people could call in and play video games on the Intellivision video game console over the phone. A caller would dial-in and by using a phrase (in New York City it was "Pix") they would be able to shoot down alien spaceships or shoot basketballs into a hoop. TV POWWW was syndicated all over the United States and picked up over seas until 1982.
Their is a company who do have games on their tv which is SKY they had TV gaming on there boxes that customers had so the customers could play their games on the settings where people were able to play games all the time if they were getting bored.
