Video Games

Video games are electronic games that involve interaction with a user interface to generate visual feedback on a screen. They can be played on various platforms, including computers, consoles, and mobile devices. The player typically uses input devices such as controllers, keyboards, or touchscreens to control characters or elements within the game. Video games can encompass a wide range of genres, including action, adventure, role-playing, simulation, strategy, and sports, each featuring different gameplay mechanics and objectives.

The primary purpose of video games is entertainment, but they can also serve educational, social, and therapeutic functions. Many video games are designed for single-player experiences, while others support multiplayer interactions, allowing players to compete or collaborate with others, either locally or online. The medium has evolved significantly since its inception in the mid-20th century, encompassing complex storytelling, immersive graphics, and sophisticated gameplay mechanics, appealing to a broad audience across various age groups and cultural backgrounds.
