Imidlalo ye-Intanethi-Ukusuka kwi-MUD ukuya kwi-Arcade
Kwiminyaka engamashumi amabini eyadlulayo, ndandihleli esangweni lomlamu wam ndibukele uFilipu oneminyaka emihlanu ubudala evakala kamnandi kumakhulu wakhe kumdlalo wakhe awuthandayo- iPac Man. Emva kokuphumelela kwakhe okwesithathu ngokulandelelana, uPhil wanika umakhulu wakhe imbonakalo emangazayo kwaye wabuza, ‘Geeze, Grammy, awuzange udlale iPac Man xa wawusengumntwana?’
Ndiyazi ukuba andizange ndidlale iPac Man njengomntwana. Ndivela kwisizukulwana sePong. Ndilifumene ithuba lokuxubha kubuchule bam bokutya isiporho kwikota yomdlalo kwiManyano yabafundi kunyaka wam omtsha ekholejini. Ngeli xesha uPhil omncinci wayeqhatha umakhulu wakhe (i-runt encinci yayimbeke kwi-Advanced ngelixa wayedlala ngokulula- kwaye ulibale ukumxelela ukuba kufuneka utye iipilisi zamandla ukuze utye iziporho), ilizwe lokudlala kumqolo oqokelela nje umfutho ongaphezulu kwinyanga nganye edlulayo. Iinkampani ezinje ngeNintendo kunye no-Sony ziqale ngokuguqula imidlalo ye-arcade ukuze ithuthuzele-kodwa kungekudala ziye zaya kwicala labo. Kwiminyaka nje elishumi, ishishini lokudlala libe lelinye lawona macandelo akhula ngokukhawuleza kwaye anenzuzo enkulu kushishino lwetekhnoloji. Ukungahambelani kakuhle kwathatha umdlalo ukuya kwiindawo eziphakamileyo - ukunxibelelana kwi-intanethi kwandise isiseko sokhuphiswano ukusuka kwindawo ekuhlala kuyo umhlaba ukuya kwihlabathi liphela.
Kodwa unxibelelwano belungathethi ukuba kwiWebhu eBanzi yeHlabathi. Enye yeengxaki ngokudlala imidlalo yeconsole ebhalelwe iPlaystation, iGameCube okanye iXbox kukuba kufuneka UTHENGE ikhonsoli ukuze udlale. Ngenisa iMacromedia Flash kunye neLanga Java, ezona plug-ins zimbini zaziwayo kwizikhangeli zewebhu. IJava yenzelwe ukuba ibe lulwimi lwenkqubo yokuwela eqongeni eyilelwe ukuqhuba kwisikhangeli sakho nokuba yeyiphi na inkqubo oyisebenzisayo. Inkqubo yokugqwayiza yeMacromedia’s Flash yeyona nto ixhaswayo kunye nokufakwa kwesikhangeli kwihlabathi liphela. Kwiminyaka embalwa nje emifutshane, omabini amaqonga afike kwindawo ende ende ukusuka kwimizobo yohlobo lwebhola ethe tyaba kwimizobo emi-3-D.
Ayothusi into yokuba umbane wokuqala webrowser onikwe amandla yiFlash kunye neJava sele ibhaliwe kwezinye zeentandokazi ezindala- ukusuka kwimigangatho ukuya kwi-retro- kwaye ezinye ziyabandakanyeka ukuba imidlalo engenangqondo njengeSwat the Clown. Babandakanya abo bathimbe uninzi lwethu ngela minyaka yegolide yee-70s kunye nee-80s zakuqala, kwaye sondla ukuthanda ukutya kwazo zonke izinto ze-retro, kodwa ayisiyiyo kuphela imidlalo yokudlala kwi-Intanethi.
Ngapha koko, uyakufumana yonke into ukusuka kwimidlalo yebhodi yodidi efana neStratego ukuya kwimidlalo yekhasino ukuya kwiipuzzle kunye nokudubula. Abanye banabadlali abaninzi-uninzi ngakumbi luyilelwe umdlali omnye ngokuchasene nekhompyuter- njengemidlalo yePC kunye nemidlalo yokuthuthuzela. Yeyiphi eyona midlalo idlalwayo kwi-Intanethi kule mihla?
Imidlalo yekhasino iphezulu, kunye ne-online interoker poker yenye yezona zinto zaziwayo kwiwebhu. Kunzima ukuxhathisa ithuba lokungcakaza, kwaye ii-Casinos ezikwi-Intanethi ziyangenisa kwi-spades. Okwangoku, zininzi iindawo zokuvavanya izakhono zakho kwi-poker, kwi-blackjack nakweminye imidlalo yeekhasino ngaphandle kokuchitha isenti.
Imidlalo yeRetro Arcade yesibini yesibini esondeleyo. Ukulandela imeko yazo zonke izinto ze-retro, isizukulwana esitsha esipheleleyo sifumanisa ulonwabo lokuzama ukwenza iibhloko eziwayo endaweni ngaphambi kokuba zibeke phezulu kwiscreen, kunye nokudubula ii-Asteroids njengoko zisondela kwisitya sendawo yakho. Ukuba ayisihambi isikhephe sakho, kusekho iNkosana yasePersi, iFrogger, iDonkey Kong kunye neminye imidlalo emininzi eyakhe yalungisa iiarcades kunye nebarrooms kuyo yonke indawo.
Imidlalo yePuzzle igqobhoza imidlalo ye-arcade yeklasikhi, eneeklasikhi ezinje ngeTetris, qhagamshela 4 kunye neStratego esijikeleza umgca phakathi kwemidlalo yebhodi yeklasikhi kunye neyona midlalo ilungileyo yearcade. Babaleka kumnandi wokudibanisa amabhastile emgceni ukuya kutshintshela iingqekembe ukucima ibhodi yonke yeengqekembe zomchasi wakho ngentshukumo enye eReversi.
Imidlalo yeMidlalo ayiyi kuyeka ukonwaba. Ngelixa umdlalo webhola omnandi kunye neqela lebhola ye-baseball zigcina ii-tycoons zixakekile, abanye bethu basenokuchitha iiyure bedlala iMini Putt Golf kunye nePong. Ungangena kwikheji ye-batter kwaye ubethe ezimbalwa ngaphandle kwebhola kunye nomnye umdlalo we-baseball, okanye uye kwigolide kukhuphiswano, iskateboarding okanye intenetya. Ukuba ukwimeko yobudenge, ungadlala iidrafti kunye noonombombiya njengezityibilikisi, okanye whack-a-mole ngemouse yakho.
