| | Video Games and Young Players |
 | | Video games are generally played by single players, or by two-players in competition. | | | A survey of 973 arcade game players in California showed that only a minority felt compelled to play, and about half were playing games for less than half the time that they were in the arcade. | | | Video games can be seen as reflections of dominant cultural values, in their representation of gender roles, in their competitive and individualistic style, and in their foregrounding of aggression and violence. |

| | Video Games: Research, Ratings, Recommendations. ERIC Digest. |
| | Based on a review of video game research in the 1980s and 1990s, Funk, Germann, and Buchman (1997) state that there is insufficient laboratory research to support strong causal statements about the effects of playing violent video games on children's aggression. | | | Playing video games may also facilitate language development in autistic children and can be used in play therapy for inhibited children. | | | Among fifth-graders, boys were more likely than girls to agree that "it's OK" for boys to play video games "a lot," and that popular boys play video games. |

| | Arcade - Info, Tricks, Cheats, Walkthroughs, & Links |
| | The first popular "arcade games" were early amusement park midway games such as shooting galleries, ball toss games, and the earliest coin-operated machines, such as those which claim to tell a person their fortune or played mechanical music. | | | Many old video game arcades have long since closed and classic coin-operated games have become largely the province of dedicated hobbyists. | | | The last gasp of the youth arcade subculture, as it once was, may have been the advent of two-player fighting games such as Street Fighter II - The World Warrior (1991) by Capcom, Mortal Kombat (1992) by Midway, and Art of Fighting (1992) by SNK. |

| | In the video game heyday of the early 1980's, there were one and a half million games being operated on 350,000 sites in the US alone - and at least the same again for the rest of the world. | | | Video games will go down as the most popular form of entertainment of the latter part of the 20th Century and beyond. | | | As you can see, arcade owners weren't too impressed on finding players sending the machine into convulsions and being handed 40 credits (£8.00 if it was on 20p play) for their trouble. |

| | It was also the first game to feature an artificial "world" in which game events could occur outside the on-screen view presented to the player. | | | Gorf was one of the first games to offer distinct stages of differing game play, as well as one of the earliest talking videogames. | | | The gampelay was very loosely based on quantum mechanics and tasked the player to encircle and isolate subatomic particles by completing "loops" around them with the game's trak-ball controller. |
