What is a video game?
If you like Tomb Raider, then you would like any of the Prince of Persia games. Basically the same type of game, with different controls. Tomb Raider was based on games like Prince of Persia, and is the reason they are similar. PS2 Prince of Persia games: Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Prince of Persia: Warrior Within Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones And of course the original Prince of Persia game which came out on the PlayStation (PS1) that your PS2 will also play. That gives you four PoP (Prince of Persia) games that play similar to Tomb Raider.
A video game is an interactive gaming experience. You can play games with other people, but one of the virtues, I think, of the video game is that it will play you. You don’t need another person, generally speaking, to play the game, and it’s kind of a unique experience. The man who invented the concept of the video game is a gentleman named Ralph Baer. He was working for Sanders and Associates, and they had a contract with Magnavox (in fact, they produced the very first game system, the Odyssey, in 1971) and his idea was basically that we’ve got all these TV sets, millions and millions of TV sets, and yet everything that’s coming through them is passive; we’re sitting back, we’re couch potatoes, we’re watching and we’re absorbing. There must be something we can do with those televisions where we can interact with them.
