Today we learned about how graphics affects the gaming industry, And whether it drives the gaming industry or not. Naughty Dog was the main focus as a company and they showed progress of their graphic development going from pixels to polygons and how consoles and computers are upgrading to run more graphically advanced games. Also that graphics alone cannot drive a game to success as storyline and gameplay is still a huge part of games, but graphics is a major factor for when it comes to games based on realism such as simulators or games that mimic real life or real life activities in some sort of way eg. Grand Theft Auto, Grand Turismo and Fifa.
Naughty Dog has come from the time of gaming where pixels where mainly used but they moved onto the use of polygons, Naughty Dog presented how graphics have evolved from the early years and what the future of gaming may look like graphically and how far graphics can go.

King of Kong and Donkey Kong
After watching King of Kong I tried playing Donkey Kong online on a flash based version which is a platform game from the 80's which challenges hand eye coordination in which players must avoid obstacles and reach the top of each level. Modern game's compare to Donkey Kong by sharing the same concept of platformer which is avoiding obstacles.
You can find the game here:
