Task 1 of 3:
Introduction: write the script that you will be recording for your introduction here. Introduce yourself
and say what the documentary will be about. Maybe make a statement that you are going to challenge or
ask a question that you’re going to try and answer through the course of the documentary and in the
conclusion.

In your life, you have probably picked up a controller sat back and enjoyed a good video game. You most
likely have a game where you have experienced a lot of memories by yourself or with your friends. My
name is Aidan and here are my top 10 games of all time.

When you hear the phrase video games you probably have a selection of games different from your friends
and family all different depending on your age or personalities. It doesn’t matter if your friend doesn’t like
the games you play, however, we all have our own preferences of games and no matter how different they
are video games has had a big importance in most of our lives.

But what makes these games so important? Is there a reason behind why these games or why they were so
enjoyable? The games im about to present are in no order other than the date they were released.

Task 2 of 3:

At number 10, Pong. Pong is the oldest video game Images of Pong, video gameplay of it.

planet in arcades. This game was quite easy to get
the hang of because all you must do was avoid
missing the ball. You could play against someone
else because there were 2 joysticks therefore 2
people could compete against each other. It was
enjoyable. It was one of the first games so many
people found it interesting and could be enjoyed by
people together. At the time Pong could be played
in arcades and it was very rare for someone to have
a Pong arcade machine in their home. Pong had won
a reward for Atari Sears Quality Excellence Award.
At the time ear where it was released it had over
35000 machines sold in the USA. The physics is basic Images of awards.

At the ninth position in this list is Paperboy. In 1985,

generations such as my parents played this game,
and it was a huge impact in their life. The game was

who delivers newspapers. Unfortunately, two
people couldn’t play at the same time however
there was a mode where 2 people could play after More gameplay of paperboy
one another to beat each other’s score. It was really
entertaining at the time because it was something
new but nowadays not many people play it, and
games are much more advanced. Paperboy was Subtitles

The physics was quite basic considering it was 2d
but still very good for the time.

The next game is the original super mario bros,
released by Nintendo in Japan 1983. The hardware it
was played on was the NES and the Wii developed
by Shigero Miyamoto and Funpei Yokoi. The game More Gameplay.

people found it enjoyable. Super Mario bros could
also be played in arcades. The game won many
awards. One being the Outstanding action and Images of NES Wii

release until now, the game has had 58 million
copies bought. They physics of the game were basic Subtitles

The next game in this list is Street Fighter, A game by
Capcon which came out in Japan 1987. It was an
arcade game which was easy to follow and get the
hang. I haven’t really played it however this game Arcade machines
was a game that introduced combat to video games.
The game is a 1v1 where you fight the other
opponent. It’s a 1 versus 1 so you play someone else
on the arcade machine.

The 6th position will be taken by mario kart on the

Japan. The developers were Shigeru Miyamoto,
Takashi Tezuka and Satoru Itwata. Mario Kart was
easy to follow because you must race the other Gameplay

In the 5th place, is the game wii sports. Wii sports
was released om Japan in 2006 developed by Images of ds
Shigeru Miyamoto. The game is full of virtual real-

was really good for the time. It got many awards
such as Best strategy and simulation game, Best
casual game, best gameplay game, best multiplayer

Number 4, Mario and sonic at the Olympic games Images of Wii sports, video gameplay of it.

a lot of familiar developers from Sega in Japan. The
game was quite difficult to follow. It is similar to Wii Images of wii

sports, and you play as Mario or sonic. The game Gameplay
was released and based off of the Olympics and was
widely popular around that time. The reason I had Awards

Olympics so a game where I can simulate playing at
the Olympics was really fun.

In the 3rd space is Minecraft. Minecraft was created

day is still the most viewed and played game of all
time. The reason I’ve put this in my list is because
this is the game that I always will come back to at Olympics
any time and I had the most fun on with my friends
and family. The physics are quite basic comparing
them to newer games now. It’s a 3d block game.
From August 2022 minecraft has sold over 238
million units. As of now the game is pretty much
available on every console. Images of Minecraft, video gameplay of it.

In 2nd place, is GTA V. Gta V was released in 2013
on Xbox, Playstation and PC. It was developed by Awards
Leslie Benzies and Imran Sarwar from Rockstar
Games from America. It is really easy to understand Gameplay
the game but quite hard to get the status “good” at
gta on online mode. GTA got a lot of game awards
from best multiplayer game and best supervision for Subtitles

up from GTA 4 to GTA 5 was a huge upgrade. The
driving was very similar to real life and the character
physics were quite detailed. Even though this game More gameplay

In the 1st position, I chose flappy bird. I didn’t really consoles

play it much and plus its not a game that I enjoyed
as much as others. However, I think it is quite
important to talk about considering what had
happened to it. In Vietnam, 2013 Dong Nguyen Gameplay
released Flappy Bird on the app store. It was a super
easy game to follow. You were a bird that had to Gta 4 – gta5 difference
dodge the pipes on the sides of the screen. There
was no multiplayer but way too addictive. Which
was the reason why the game got removed by the
owner. From the time it was released to when it got
taken off the app store, it had 50 million downloads. Steam images
If you downloaded it before it got taken off you
would still be able to play. Also, there are arcade
machines of Flappy bird still to this day, so it is Images of gta missions
technically still playable.

Conclusion: write the script that you will be recording for your conclusion here. revisit your initial
question or statement from the introduction, recap some highlights of the games you’ve studied that

Playing video games will always have a place in everyone’s heart depending on your age, but what makes
video games so enjoyable? Playing with friends on a game makes the game so much better at the time, and
even makes memories for the future. Even the graphics make a big importance on the game. These two
common factors trigger nostalgia in games. Thank you for watching.
