There's no doubt that in today's digital world, computer games are extremely capable of creating virtual reality experiences. So I am interested to see that the old simple games with I grew up are popular again. But why?
In the 1970s, people played a computer game at an arcade （电子游戏厅). It was the only (afford) way to play them. But in the 1980s and 90s, gaming arrived in our homes and people like me got (addict) to it. The sound of beeping from bedrooms came to our ears and names such as Tetris, Sonic and Street Fighter (become) popular language in the playground – and now they are being talked about and played again. One of the reasons is the cost is low. Gemma Wood, European gamer, says that: "Newer consoles and their games are (incredible) expensive."
Simplicity might be another reason. The graphics (图表) on old games are fun and easy to use by children and adults. And of course, nostalgia( 怀 旧之 情) plays (it) part. Some people want to relive their childhood while for , it is a chance to show their children the computer games they grew up with.
This craze for using retro hardware is certainly catching on. And (persuade) those of us who are not sure about downgrading the gaming experience, manufacturers are bringing back some of their older consoles in new style casing. So it seems like it's not 'game over' for old-school technology!
