If you are growing up in my generation, you are bound to be almost obsessed with video games. Ever since I could remember I loved to play, even when I was only five or six years old and had no idea what I was doing. I remember having a Super Nintendo, but the most advanced piece of technology when I was growing up was the N64. I remember getting Madden 64 and everyone thought it looked so real; we thought there was no way the graphics could ever get better than that. I would get home everyday and play Mario Kart 64 or 007 Golden-Eye. I have two older brothers and competing in sports was never really an option, but when it came to Nintendo, I felt like I could hold my own.
New systems were being introduced, but none could match the N64 in my eyes. My mind was quickly changed when the Playstation 2 was brought into the market. I remember Christmas the year it came out, it was nearly impossible to get your hands on. Our dad had my two brothers and me convinced he could not find it; but on Christmas morning it was there and I cannot explain how excited we all were. Now we really started to wonder what could be next.
The progression continued as things like the Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, and Playstation 3 were made. There are people who even have parties to play Rock Band with their friends. The motion sensor system of the Wii is another innovation that has changed the way we play video games and now even my parents can play. These companies definitely still have me wondering: what could possibly be next?
