Game Research

Games have advanced over the years. Starting with Pong this game was very simple and was the first game used with AI.

Modern games today reflect back to pong by its use of AI and how the AI responds to the player and also keeps track of score. Like Call of Duty and Battlefield games like this keep track of score as does Pong.

Pong has influenced other games by point scoring and use of the AI.

Pong was the first successful commercial video game that kick started the video game industry.

Sonic was released in 1991 and became viral on the SEGA MEGA DRIVE. The game had a point scoring system and it is a side scroller 2D game.

 The Game had an AI system where the AI would shoot little balls of fire at you if you were to close but had a fixed path for the AI to walk left and right.

 Sonic the Hedgehog could have been influenced by Pong the way it uses its point score system and the way the AI interacts with the play.
