Video games have been the talk of the town since the early 1980’s. Gaming development back then was limited, though it still attracted an audience. Some consider playing retro 1980’s video games as plain and simple. The sound effects and background music of those games were not exactly the greatest or most realistic; gaming consoles could only do so much at the time; gaming animation and visual effects were rather primitive. Yet, those qualities did nothing to hinder people from playing classic games. Retro games like The Oregon Trail and Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? are some of the very first classic computer games that were played by the consumer market.
Movies inspired by video games have been trending in these modern times. Tomb Raider and Resident Evil, for example, are not just famous retro games, but are also considered high grossing films viewed by, if not all, a large number of audiences from different age groups. For those that didn’t play these games, they were still able to experience those worlds through their movie adaptations.
