October 29, 2024 - Mid Term Long Form Assignment.

     Let's talk about games! I have been playing games all my life, ever since I got a home version of Pac-Man for Christmas all the way back in 1982!!

I don't play games very often, and honestly I only play old-style games. Ones that are short and simple to learn. I don't have infinite time (like you) to play games all weekend! Plus I like what I grew up with, so I often just replay those games over and over. I was VERY excited when I recently learned that one of my favorite game series, Final Fantasy, was having its older games remade and updated for the the 2020s, while still keeping that old-time feel. 

The games are called Pixel Remasters, and are meant to look like the old 2D style of games, while having modern features, such as cloud saves, multiple soundtracks, language options, simple menus, and touch controls. The games came out for iOS, Android and Steam PCs (windows only) On July 29th 2021! I am excited! I feel like a kid again!!!!

Here is a trailer to show you what they will look like.

How about you? Tell me about what games you like to play, or what you are looking forward to. Be sure to include important information like when the games were made, the genre and the machine you play them on.

Not a gamer? Then please write about why you dislike video games.

This assignment will be treated like a test with a score of 20 points maximum.
