Masewera paintaneti - Kuyambira pa MUD kupita ku Arcade
Zaka makumi awiri zapitazo, ndidakhala mchimwene wa mlamu wanga ndikuwona Filipo wazaka zisanu akumenyetsa agogo ake pa masewera omwe amakonda - Pac Man. Atapambana katatu, Phil adayang'ana agogo ake modabwitsa ndikufunsa, ‘Geeze, Grammy, sunasewere Pac Man udakali mwana?’
Ndikudziwa kuti sindinasewera Pac Man ndili mwana. Ndine wochokera ku m’badwo wa Pong. Ndidapeza mwayi wogwiritsa ntchito maluso anga odyera mizimu kwa kotala yamasewera mu Student Union mchaka changa chatsopano ku koleji. Pofika nthawi yomwe Phil anali kubera agogo ake aakazi (mwachangu runt anali atamuyika pa Advanced pomwe amasewera Easy - ndipo kuyiwala kumuuza kuti umayenera kudya mapiritsi amagetsi kuti udye mizukwa), dziko lamasewera linali pa mpukutu womwe umangopeza kulimba kwambiri mwezi uliwonse. Makampani monga Nintendo ndi Sony adayamba potanthauzira masewerawa kuti azitonthoza - koma posakhalitsa adanyamuka. M’zaka khumi zokha, makampani opanga masewerawa ndi amodzi mwa magawo omwe akukula kwambiri komanso opindulitsa kwambiri pamakampani aukadaulo. Kusalumikizana kumatenga masewera kupita kuzinthu zatsopano - kulumikizana ndi intaneti kumakulitsa mpikisano wanu kuchokera kumalo oyandikira mpaka padziko lonse lapansi.
Koma kulumikizana sikukutanthauza Webusayiti Yapadziko Lonse. Limodzi mwamavuto pakusewera masewera a console omwe adalembedwera Playstation, GameCube kapena Xbox ndikuti muyenera kukhala ndi kontrakitala kuti muzisewera. Lowetsani Macromedia Flash ndi Sun Java, ma plug-ins awiri otchuka pa asakatuli. Java idapangidwa kuti ikhale chilankhulo chamapulogalamu omwe amapangidwa kuti azitha kugwiritsa ntchito msakatuli wanu mosasamala kanthu momwe mukugwiritsira ntchito. Pulogalamu ya Macromedia’s Flash animation mwina ndi pulogalamu yolumikizidwa kwambiri padziko lonse lapansi. M’zaka zochepa chabe, mapulatifomu onsewa atenga mtunda wautali kuchokera pazithunzithunzi za mtundu wa mpira wopepuka mpaka pazosangalatsa za 3-D.
Ndizosadabwitsa kuti masewera oyambira asakatuli oyendetsedwa ndi Flash ndi Java adalembanso zina mwazokonda zakale - kuyambira pamiyeso mpaka retro - ndipo ena amachita ngati masewera opanda pake ngati Swat the Clown. Amaphatikizapo omwe adakopa ambiri a ife mzaka zagolide za m’ma 70s ndi ma 80s oyambirira, ndipo timadyetsa chilakolako chazinthu zonse zobwerera, koma si masewera okhawo omwe azisewera pa intaneti.
M’malo mwake, mupeza chilichonse kuchokera pamasewera apamwamba ngati Stratego kupita kumasewera a kasino kupita ku masamu ndi kuwombera. Ena ndi ochita masewera ambiri - ambiri amapangidwira wosewera m’modzi pakompyuta - monga masewera a PC ndikusangalatsa masewera. Kodi masewera omwe amaseweredwa kwambiri pa intaneti masiku ano ndi ati?
Masewera a Kasino amatsogola, pomwe masewera olimbitsa thupi pa intaneti ndi amodzi mwazinthu zodziwika bwino kwambiri pa intaneti. Ndizovuta kukana mwayi wakutchova juga, ndipo juga zapaintaneti zikulipirira - m’mipando. Komabe, pali malo ambiri oyeserera maluso anu poker, blackjack ndi masewera ena a kasino osagwiritsa ntchito ndalama.
Masewera a Retro Arcade ndi mphindi yachiwiri. Kutsatira momwe zinthu zonse zimayendera, mbadwo watsopano wonse ukupeza chisangalalo choyesera kuyendetsa zidutswa m’malo omwe asanakwere pamwamba pazenera, ndikuwombera ma Asteroids pomwe akuyandikira sitimayo. Ngati izi sizikuyendetsa bwato lanu, pali Prince of Persia, Frogger, Donkey Kong ndi masewera ena ambiri omwe kale adakongoletsa malo ogulitsira kulikonse.
Masewera a Zithunzithunzi amaphatikizika pamaseweredwe achikale, okhala ndi ma classic monga Tetris, Connect 4 ndi Stratego omwe amayenda pakati pamasewera apabodi apamwamba komanso masewera apamwamba kwambiri. Amathawa kukasangalala ndi kuyala ma marble motsatana kuti aphethitse ndalama kuti afafanize ndalama zonse za mdani wanu ndikusunthira ku Reversi.
Masewera a Masewera samasiya kusangalala. Ngakhale mipikisano yampikisano komanso baseball imapangitsa ma tycoon kukhala otanganidwa, enafe titha kuthera maola ambiri tikusewera Mini Putt Golf ndi Pong. Mutha kulowa mu khola lomenyera ndikumenya ena mwa mpira ndi imodzi mwamasewera a baseball, kapena mupite kukatenga golide pa mpikisano, skateboarding kapena tenisi. Ngati mulibe malingaliro opusa, mutha kusewera ma dengu ndi ma penguin ngati osunthira, kapena whack-mole ndi mbewa yanu.
