Evolution of Gaming Technology Through Time

Human civilizations and societies have known games since time immemorial. You can imagine the evolution of gaming technology since the first game was discovered in Egyptian cemeteries, dating back to 3500 BC, through the first board game after the 17th century, which led to creating card and table games in vibrant shapes.

In the 20th century, Mrs. Elizabeth Maggie invented the Monopoly game and that’s when the board games industry started to grow exponentially. The first computer was built in 1937, nearly ten years later, computer scientists began designing simple games as part of their research, and the first-ever digital game was the XO game. After nearly 70 years, we began to look around and watch the development of electronic games, which began from a very primitive digital game to an accelerated revolution in the world of video games, with the future promising us a lot.

Mobile Gaming

Mobile gaming has picked up momentum in the last few years. The change in the scenario due to the pandemic has made mobile gaming an integral part of everyday lives. Although led by gaming enthusiasts and pro gamers, it also boasts a dedicated user base of lifestyle gamers who subscribe to non-competitive mobile games as part of everyday routine.

The first mobile game was our classic Tetris, released at the beginning of the 20th century. After that, the famous Snake game was released on Nokia phones. Today, the App Store and Play Store are crowded with a huge number of games from varied genres. The development of the gaming industry has accelerated adaptation to new technologies.

Today’s games are more engaging and require powerful hardware to get the best experience. There’s an urgent need and a clear direction for the manufacture of mobile phones dedicated to video games that meet the desires of the players. Looking ahead of market trends, telo GameZ has launched the most technologically advanced smartphone. telo Gamez Lenovo Legion is the ultimate gaming mobile phone, specially designed for gamers who like to play on the go. Its revolutionary technology architecture has the world’s first customized horizontal UI, satisfying the aspirations of gamers everywhere.

Here’s everything you should know about Lenovo Legion gaming mobile.

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

With the introduction of artificial intelligence into the world of games, we interact with greater enthusiasm because the course of the story and its endings are no longer exclusively one dimensional. It’s quite natural that your end is similar to the endings of other players by only 20%, and the gap between the similarity of the endings continues to expand. Thanks to the sandbox principle that allowed us to play in open worlds we’d never seen before.

In Watch Dogs, for example, the characters learn and interact with you in a smarter way. Be vigilant in your interactions, in this game the characters won’t forget your side troubles, and with the passage of time the game will become more difficult every time as if it grows with you.

In competitive games, playing against virtual players on the computer is no longer a trivial matter. Be ready to face opponents of your own level, who learn through you, as we watch now in FIFA 21.

Extended Reality (XR)

Extended reality includes all gaming technologies such as virtual reality, augmented reality, and reality technologies that haven’t yet launched. Imagine playing with these technologies in the amazing explorations that Ubisoft provided in Assassin Creed, which enables you to play just for adventure without the need to perform tasks. Immerse yourself in the exploration of ancient Egyptian civilization as if you were in the era of Pharaohs.

Let’s imagine you’re in the midst of a crowded port market, sun beaming in the sky, the voices of people surround you, cats hovering nearby and the types of commodities grab your attention.

It’s an opportunity to enjoy discovering a world from the present to the future and back in time to the distant past. Go on a journey that knows no boundaries of time and space whenever you want.

Cloud Play – Play on Demand

All it takes is a screen and internet to enter a world of games stored in the cloud. Enjoy playing wherever you are and regardless of your device. It’s a real leap in the world of games, worth noting that there are few who speculate that cloud gaming will be the end of consoles.

Among the most famous gaming clouds are Stadia by Google, Xcloud provided by Microsoft for Xbox and PlayStation Now from Sony.

It’s in the Name

Games Industry – a leading website for news and all things gaming – once tweeted:

“Call of Duty earned more than twice the Marvel Universe box office, and double the Star Wars earnings.”

Players loved the development of characters’ dialogues, storytelling, graphics, and music, which caught the attention of international directors, composers, writers, and even actors, and many of them flocked to the gaming world. We saw Elliot Page in Beyond, Rami Malek in Until Dawn, and Norman Reedus in Death Stranding.

In addition, we’ve seen giants such as Coca-Cola and Red Bull now offer exclusive sponsorships for esports tournaments, not to mention the sponsorships provided to video game heroes and stars just like international celebrities, as the sites circulate their news and millions of fans cheer for them.

Finally, the big prizes for the tournaments indicate huge profits, like Dota, for example, in its tournament presented major prizes with a total of $34 Million.

Gaming technology is a lot more than it shows. It’s the next big thing in digital.

Though consoles and PC did amazing for mainstream games, mobile gaming is the next big thing in esports.

Ralph Baer – The father of video games

Mobile gaming is the future of leisure time – as Newzoo pointed out, the mobile gaming industry is expected to top $100 billion by 2021. There’s no doubt that this era is defined by what game developers can fit in your pocket-size smartphones. Looking ahead of the market trends, telo GameZ has launched the most technologically advanced gaming smartphone, telo Gamez Lenovo Legion – specially designed for gamers who like to play on the go. The games have developed and advanced multifold from the time of its inception. Have you ever wondered who created the first gaming device on earth? Players around the world should thank Ralph Baer, the father of video games as he is called, who invented the kernel of the video game atom that never stopped fission, but rather accelerated and swept the whole world, generation after generation, to this day. Let’s read more about the inventor Ralph Baer, who opened doors to a new fictional world for us…

Who was Ralph Baer?

Baer was born in Germany at a critical period, before the outbreak of the Second World War, which prompted his family to move to the United States. A few years later, young Baer found himself working in an electronics company as a TV engineer. He thought of adding games as an additional feature to television screens and display them. His company needed to stay on par with other television companies, so the idea was rejected. Years passed as he worked for Sanders Associates, a company specializing in building military equipment, and the idea resurfaced. He wrote a letter and tried to use terms related to the company’s interest, as the term ‘games’ was used in the army, and this time he received support. His inventions didn’t stop after this creation, he contributed to the invention of the famous memory game Simon, in addition to 150 patents registered in his name.

Thinking outside the box and creating a magical one

His idea was a guaranteed start to an industry that exceeds $100 billion. In fact, the gaming industry outperforms the film and music industry combined. Ralph Baer worked on many prototypes before presenting what we see in the following picture, the first version of ‘Brown Box’ – the first home video game console licensed by Magnavox, which later became the blueprint for Magnavox Odyssey

The Red Door of Inspiration

In the basement of his home, Ralph Baer built a personal retreat. His workshop had its own character – a front wall, its own door, an address, and even a mailbox.

In his late eighties, the museum wanted to acquire Baer’s workshop but he was still inventing, so the museum reached out again when he reached his nineties. They wanted to present his initial workshop set up in the museum and agreed to provide him with a much more modern workshop.

Ralph was sad when they packed the workshop and took it away to install it in the museum, yet he was excited that visitors from all over the world would be able to see the special place in his home that brought about the greatest innovation of his life!

Here you can see some prototypes and game consoles invented by Ralph Baer, which are currently housed in the National Museum of American History.

In 2014, Baer passed away at the age of 92. He once told PBS in 2013, “I am no different from a painter who sits there and loves what he does. Would you ask a guy who’s been painting all his life ‘why do you keep painting? Why don’t you retire?’ Retire to what? Stop painting? This is insane. Why would you want to do that?”

If we could look into Mr. Baer’s mind, I think we’d have an exciting ride in a world of adventure, thrill, games, and more! All thanks to his genius mind that paved the way for future gamers to follow, a gift of skill and talent.

Leading a promising future full of suspense and excitement for all gamers, we wonder how our favorite games would’ve been today without this historic invention!
