| | Boss (video games) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In video games, a boss (sometimes called a guardian or master) is a particularly large or difficult computer-controlled character that must be defeated at the end of a segment of a game, whether it be for a level, an episode, or the very end of the game itself (final boss). | | | In complex games (particularly role-playing games), bosses are so noted for effective attacks and a large number of hit points. | | | Bosses are traditionally used as choke-points in RPGs, used to ensure a player has taken the time to level-up (raise their abilities through fighting anonymous easier foes) before progressing to a new section of the game. |

| | it seems to vary alot from game to game. | | | But even outside of racing games, if you were to limit yourself to games that only allowed this freedom, you'd only play 2 or 3 games a year. | | | But the meat of the game should be the type of gameplay that you may only die/fail/lose at 2 or 3 times. |

| | A video game is defined as an appartus that displays games using RASTER VIDEO equipment: a television set, a monitor, etc. In the 1950s and 1960s, computers were not only exceedingly expensive, but used a technology that could not allow integrating them into a video game system. | | | The video game history is often misunderstood, so we will explain what happened in the 1950s first, and then go through the real video game history which began in 1966. | | | The first playable video game was a Chase Game: two squares chasing each other. |

| | Video Games and Autism |
| | Instead of limiting the video games, you *could* use them as a way to connect with your autistic son, to draw him into a world where you are interested and talking to him about the games, and building a relationship with him. | | | It caused them, in a typically Aspie way, to obsess about their time on the games down to the last second, and when they weren't allowed to play, their mind was obsessing about the game, thinking about when they would be allowed to play again and what they would do. | | | Knowing that they could play their games as much as they really wanted to helped them let go of the obsessing and anxiety, they could complete their games and then put down the controller and walk away feeling happy and satisfied and go on to something else. |

| | If your game's AI is not up to the current level that game player's expectations demand then your game will feel dated and suffer for it in their opinions. | | | Video games have influenced the way children live and play, forever altered the entertainment industry, and even affected the way wars are fought. | | | According to John Funge, high-quality graphics may be what attracts a player to a game, but it's the AI and the gameplay that holds their attention. |

| | Zork Grand Inquisitor is an adventure game in the tradition of the earlier, text-only Zork games: addictive, challenging, and dryly funny. | | | Anyone who's considering purchasing this game should be warned of that particular fact: succeeding at "Grand Inquisitor" requires the player to have the same slightly bent sense of humor as the game designers. | | | Second, as you progress through the game (in the time tunnels) you will find the switching in and out of CD's slightly irratating, but these points are a small price to pay for such a wonderfully absurd game. |
