The games in the 80s where very basic but this is when games really took off and people realised that its a harm less as a board game with games like tetras and duck hunt but all the time in the back ground there was an evil accountant at work, as the battle for the living room begin. As consoles where being made and games where being thought out in the reasoning of what can and can't be done the race would start, this for me is what made the consoles and companies of tomorrow like the Sega and the Nintendo it also set the style and market for many years to come.
I say this in a I was not there sort of way but from what research I have gathered and what I know from my own head there where 3 dramatic changes in the world of games in those days.
the first and the greatest was the fact of having a computer games console in your home this is the single largest step for the games world giving them a permanent foot hold in the world of the average person.
The second was the great idea of having changeable games for the consoles this gave them the chance to expand the market as much as possible and my 3rd and final greatest point is the idea of controllers I know I can't live with out them... can you picture a world with out controllers I can't.
The games made in the 1980s are the building blocks of our games world, as with any console the games that came out to begin with are nothing compared to the games that are released at the end of the consoles life
