A multiplayer video game is a video game in which 馃洝 more than one person can play in the same game environment at the same time, either locally on the same 馃洝 computing system (couch co-op), on different computing systems via a local area network, or via a wide area network, most 馃洝 commonly the Internet (e.g. World of Warcraft, Call of Duty, DayZ). Multiplayer games usually require players to share a single 馃洝 game system or use networking technology to play together over a greater distance; players may compete against one or more 馃洝 human contestants, work cooperatively with a human partner to achieve a common goal, or supervise other players' activity. Due to 馃洝 multiplayer games allowing players to interact with other individuals, they provide an element of social communication absent from single-player games.
History 馃洝 [ edit ]
Some of the earliest video games were two-player games, including early sports games (such as 1958's Tennis For 馃洝 Two and 1972's Pong), early shooter games such as Spacewar! (1962)[1] and early racing video games such as Astro Race 馃洝 (1973).[2] The first examples of multiplayer real-time games were developed on the PLATO system about 1973. Multi-user games developed on 馃洝 this system included 1973's Empire and 1974's Spasim; the latter was an early first-person shooter. Other early video games included 馃洝 turn-based multiplayer modes, popular in tabletop arcade machines. In such games, play is alternated at some point (often after the 馃洝 loss of a life). All players' scores are often displayed onscreen so players can see their relative standing. Danielle Bunten 馃洝 Berry created some of the first multiplayer video games, such as her debut, Wheeler Dealers (1978) and her most notable 馃洝 work, M.U.L.E. (1983).
Gauntlet (1985) and Quartet (1986) introduced co-operative 4-player gaming to the arcades. The games had broader consoles to 馃洝 allow for four sets of controls.
