Spaceship Games: The Past And Current Position Of Space Games

By Angela X. Luongo


Spaceship games have been a fascination since gaming systems began many decades ago. The older generations remember the games with simple graphics and simple gameplay that still offered hours of entertainment. A lot of these older games demanded an older gaming system like Atari or the Original Nintendo. But younger generations are not used to the simplicity of these games since they are accustomed to the high level graphics of Xbox, Wii and Playstation products.

However, today we have computers that can act as all-in-one machines, providing us with the Internet and games without an additional gaming console. Considering the spaceship games that were played on Apple computers that only ran DOS programs written on large floppy discs with black and white graphics and block shaped images, games have come a very long way. But today, our computers are nearly on the same level as the graphics that are seen on high end gaming systems.

Playing games on computers today means that you do not have to purchase compact discs that are very expensive like you typically do with gaming consoles. Now you do not even have to download anything to your computer to play games since they are hosted on the Internet. You may notice that a lot of games found on the Internet are now termed MMOs, otherwise known as massively multiplayer online games. This means that players play against real opponents in a user created environment rather than a computer simulated version of the situation and enemies.

The distinctive platform of these kinds of games and their convenience help to make them a very popular option. Because the Internet hosts the game on a server, you can access your game at any time as long as you have a computer, the Internet and your username and password. Gaming on a single computer and only at home is not something that gamers have to be limited to anymore. You can get off of one computer with Internet access and go to another computer that has Internet access and log in to your game.

Online spaceship games, as well as other MMOs likewise experience an increase in their popularity due to their free price. Games are able to be tried without a monetary risk because they are free. That implies more people are willing to try out more games than they would if they had to pay upfront. If you do determine that you like a game, you are able to make in game purchases to make the game play even more interesting; however, these purchases are never required and you can play the entire game without making purchases.
