Videogames History

Working in groups, you will put together a full wiki report as well as a 20-25 minute presentation (allowing some time for Q&A) on the history of videogames. For sources, you may use the Web or the library.

There will be five groups, each covering a particular time period or aspect of the history of videogames:

• Group 1: 8/16 bit
• Group 2: 32/64 bit
• Group 3: Modern games (including online multiplayer)
• Group 4: Greatest game designers of all times
• Group 5: Videogame design and production (how is a videogame put together?)
• Group 6: Social impact of Videogames (health, culture -movies, malls, etc-, economy, and so on)

(consult the schedule for due dates)


You can use the wiki as a slide show tool and to put together a report.

Mode details to be discussed in class.
