Games
Games have a long history in Europe, with the oldest records of
board gaming dating back to the writings of Homer's Iliad
in the 8th century BCE. Tabletop gaming includes cards, board
games, strategy, and roleplaying games such as Dungeons and
Dragons. Tabletop games provide a way for families and friends
to play together, and they remain popular despite the
growth in video gaming from the late 1990s.
However, video games have become significantly more
popular than tabletop games. Consoles such as the Super Nintendo,
the Gameboy, the Xbox series of consoles, and Playstations have
occupied children and adults of all ages since their inception.
Today, gaming can also be done on the go, with mobile gaming
becoming a popular platform.
