A PC game is a game that is played on a computer just like it is played on a PSP or an Xbox. You just put the game in the system and start playing. If you do not play video games then you shouldn't be reading this article. A computer game is just like a video game a do not know why other people tend to disagree. In a video game you have all the same things you have a processor that processes the game. Then you have your graphics card or cards. Yes graphics cards are in every gaming system so if you thought a computer was different then video games then you are wrong. The only reason that computers will get better graphics is because video games are limited to their upgrades and that is why you will get booted out of games because you are not supposed to upgrade a system that is already upgraded enough.

The first computer and video games were made back in the day around the 70s. So if you thought that the first games were Atari and pong think again. I think the most fun games of the day would have had to of been the Mario brothers games. Those games were always fun and they always kept me busy and doing something. If I had nothing to do I would always get into trouble or end up breaking something that I wasn't suppose to do. Like I was playing around once at my grandmas and I just got done playing that video game and I was like playing rock baseball in the backyard with my cousin and he pitched me a big ole round rock and I hit that sucker right through the glass window in the shed and man I kept that a secret for the longest time.

The end of the 70s is when you were seeing the first home based video game systems and systems that you could plug into the wall and start playing all you had to do was hook it up to the TV and the plug in the wall and you could start playing.

Soon came to be the PC the personal computer. That soon became the weapon of the future and everyone would soon be using one of these. If you didn't have a computer by the 90s you were still considered to be living in the dark ages.

There are all kinds of different games that you could have played. You had fighting. Shooting, shooter, racing, I mean you had all the games that you could think of to play and people chose to get computers and start playing computer games.

Since the first video game system and video game was made the demand for video games and their components has grown enormously. If you do not have some kind of system today then I do not know where you are or where you are living. Today every person should at least have one computer in their house and one video game. If you don't then you already got sick of every game and system or just simply cannot afford the time to play them.

PC restore
By: ~!Question Queen Pinto Bean!~ | 22-07-2008
Would restoring my ENTIRE PC repair my registry? Also, how do I back up programs with a license key? I have programs, like Avast, Microsoft Office, & a few other programs that I had to have a license key to activiate. My Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop is Win. XP OS. The package came with that stupid Microsoft Works, which I HATE! So I went to Best Buy (3 yrs. ago when I 1st bought the computer) & bought Microsoft Office 2003 Standard Edition. But now, moving around a lot since Hurricane Katrina, I lost the CD & license key #.   A few months ago, I bought ZillaTube for YouTube videos, & I still have the license key, but I'm not sure if they'll let me set up again, using that same license key.   Oh, & the reason I'm trying to restore my PC is because System Restore doesn't work, & nothing is effective in getting the Trojan.Zlob out of my registry. The DVD+RW drive is missing & corrupted/damaged, as well as Secondary IDE channels. It won't repair. Antiviruses aren't working, either. & what would happen if after I restore my PC, the Wi-Fi or internet doesn't work?
