Umlando Wemidlalo Ye-Arcade

ukugembula namuhla kuyisici esaziwayo sendawo yethu yamasiko, ngisho nakubantu abaneminyaka engaphezu kwamashumi amathathu noma abangasikhumbuli kahle isikhathi ngaphambi kokuba kusungulwe imidlalo ye-arcade. Sezadlula izinsuku lapho ubuzodlala iPac-Man noma umdlalo odumile weMario Brothers. Yize zisadlalwa futhi zijatshulelwa namuhla, zithuthukisiwe zaba yimidlalo nezinhlobo ezi-dimensional. Abantu abasoze bayikhohlwa imidlalo yakudala futhi kuyinto enhle leyo ngoba kunomlando lapha okungafanele ukhohlwe.

Ukugembula akuyona intuthuko yakamuva. Imidlalo ye-Arcade yaqala eminyakeni eminingi edlule. Azange zamukeleke njengamanje. Izinto ezenziwe ngobuciko ezivela eGibhithe naseSumeria ziveze ukuthi okhokho bethu bakujabulela ukudlala imidlalo yebhodi eminyakeni eyizinkulungwane eyedlule.

Imidlalo ye-elekthronikhi manje isidinge ukwenziwa kwama-computer. amakhompyutha okuqala ayephuza futhi ethambekele ekuhlulekeni. Abahleli bakuqala bazizwa bephoqelekile ukuchitha isikhathi sabo ngokuhlela lama-computer benze izinto ezifana ne-tic-tac-toe. Lapho kuphela iMpi Yezwe II, ama-computer aqala ukuba yimishini ejwayelekile kumalabhorethri aqhubeka ngokwengeziwe. ngokushesha ngemuva kwalokho, bahlanganiswa nezinkampani ezinkulu, izikhungo kanye nezinkampani. Kungaphikiswa ukuthi abafundi baseyunivesithi babengabahleli bokuqala bomdlalo, behlola imibono yabo nemibono ye-sci-fi ezinhlelweni zedijithali esisazisebenzisa namanje. imicabango yabo iguqule umdlalo waba yinto yobuciko yedijithali.

Umbono wokusungula uhlelo lomdlalo we-elektroniki esikrinini noma kuthelevishini wasungulwa nguRalph Bauer ekuqaleni kwawo-1950. Lokhu kwenze umdlalo wokuqala waba nokwenzeka. Ngemuva kwalokho, wethula futhi wethula imibono yakhe kuMagnavox, inkampani yethelevishini. Le nkampani iyithandile imibono yakhe nezinto azisungule kahle kangangoba bakhiphe uhlobo olusezingeni eliphezulu lwe-Bauer’s ‘Brown Box’ prototype, eyaziwa ngeMagnavox Odyssey ngonyaka we-1972. Ngokwezindinganiso zanamuhla, i-Odyssey yayiwumlando, ikhombisa kuphela amabala okukhanya esibukweni. Futhi kudinga ukusetshenziswa kwezingqimba zepulasitiki eziguqukayo ukuphindaphinda ukubukeka komdlalo.

Uhlelo lokuqala oludume ngempela lwe-console lwalwaziwa njenge-Atari 2600. Lakhishwa ngo-1977. I-Atari yasebenzisa ama-plug-in cartridges ukuze idlale imidlalo ehlukahlukene. ukuthandwa kwabahlaseli bendawo kwaba yintuthuko futhi kwaba ngumthengisi othengisa kakhulu ngaleso sikhathi. Imidlalo yamakhompiyutha ebhalelwe amakhompyutha we-TRS-80 ne-Apple II ibidonsa intshisekelo ngalesi sikhathi.

Kunezincwadi nezindatshana eziningana ngomlando wemidlalo ye-Arcade.
