ʻO ka mōʻaukala o nā pāʻani Arcade

ʻO ka pāʻani i kēia lā kahi mea i ʻike ʻia o kā mākou wahi moʻomeheu, a hiki i ka poʻe i ʻoi aku i ke kanakolu a i ʻole hiki ke hoʻomanaʻo iki i ka manawa ma mua o ka hoʻokumu ʻia ʻana o nā pāʻani arcade. Ua hala nā lā e pāʻani ai ʻoe iā Pac-Man a i ka pāʻani kaulana ʻo Mario Brothers. ʻOiai pāʻani mau lākou a leʻaleʻa i kēia lā, ua hoʻomaikaʻi ʻia i mau pāʻani dimensional a me nā mana. ʻAʻole poina ka poʻe i nā pāʻani kahiko a he mea maikaʻi kēlā no ka mea aia kekahi mōʻaukala ma aneʻi ʻaʻole e poina.

ʻAʻole kahi pāʻani hou kahi pāʻani hou. Ua hoʻomaka nā pāʻani Arcade i nā makahiki i hala aku nei. ʻAʻole lākou i ʻae ʻia e like me kēia manawa. Ua hōʻike ʻo Artifact mai ʻAigupita a me Sumeria i ka hauʻoli o ko mākou mau kūpuna i ka pāʻani ʻana i nā pāʻani papa he mau makahiki i hala.

ʻO nā pāʻani uila a mākou i koi aku nei i ka hana ʻana i nā kamepiula uila. Ua lohi a maʻalahi hiki ʻole i nā kamepiula mua. Ua manaʻo nā mea papahana mua e koi aku i ko lākou manawa e ka hoʻolālā ʻana i kēia mau kamepiula e hana i nā mea e like me tic-tac-toe. I ka pau ʻana o ke Kaua Honua II, ua hoʻomaka nā kamepiula uila i mau pono paʻamau i nā keʻena hoʻokolohua holomua. Ma hope koke iho, ua hoʻohui ʻia lākou me nā hui nui, hoʻokumu a me nā hui. Hiki iā ia ke hoʻopaʻapaʻa ʻo nā haumāna o ke kula nui nā programmer pāʻani mua, e ʻimi ana i kā lākou moemoeā a me nā hihiʻo sci-fi i loko o nā polokalamu uila a mākou e hoʻohana nei. Ua hoʻolilo ko lākou mau manaʻo i ka pāʻani ʻana i masterpiece digital.

ʻO ka ʻike o ka hoʻokumu ʻana i ʻōnaehana pāʻani uila i ka papakaumaka a i ʻole ke kīwī i haku ʻia e Ralph Bauer i ka wā o ka 1950 mua. ʻO kēia ka mea i hiki ai ke pāʻani mua. Ma hope o kēlā, hoʻolauna a hōʻike ʻo ia i kona mau manaʻo iā Magnavox, kahi ʻoihana kīwī. Maikaʻi ka makemake o ka ʻoihana i kāna mau manaʻo a me kāna mau mea hou i hoʻokuʻu ai i kahi mana sophisticated o ka prototype o Bauer ‘Brown Box’, i kapa ʻia ʻo Magnavox Odyssey i ka makahiki 1972. Na nā kūlana o kēia lā, he prehistoric ka Odyssey, e hōʻike wale nei i nā kiko o ke kukui ma ka papakaumaka. Koi ʻia nō hoʻi ka hoʻohana ʻana o nā overlays plastic translucent e hoʻopiha ai i ka hiʻohiʻona o ka pāʻani.

Ua ʻike ʻia ka ʻōnaehana hōʻoluʻolu kaulana mua loa ma ke ʻano he Atari 2600. Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia i ka makahiki 1977. Ua hoʻohana ka Atari i nā cartridges plug-in i mea e pāʻani ai i nā pāʻani like ʻole. ʻO ke kaulana o Space Invaders kahi mea breakthrough a lilo ia i mea kūʻai aku maikaʻi loa i kēlā manawa. ʻO nā pāʻani kamepiula i kākau ʻia no nā kamepiula TRS-80 a me Apple II e ʻumeʻume nei i ka hoihoi i kēia manawa.

Nui nā puke a me nā ʻatikala e pili ana i ka mōʻaukala o nā pāʻani arcade.
