My Top Apps
In 1976 the first ever handheld electronic game was released
by Mattel the game was called Auto Race. The players car was a bright vertical
dash on the bottom of the screen. The idea of the game was to move your car to
the top of the screen 4 times in 99 seconds, while dodging other coloured
dashes. The in 1989 Nintendo released the Gameboy and as of 2013 continues to
dominate the handheld console market. We have come a long way since these
humble beginnings and a new generation of handheld gaming is upon us. Gamers
want to be able to pick up and play as quickly as they can without carrying
around bulky systems or spending huge amounts of time learning the controls and
picking up complicated story lines.
This gap has been filled with the introduction of mobile
gaming apps. I am well and truly sucked into this style of gaming.. my toilet
time has been extended tremendously since I got my IPhone.
So I thought I’d compile a couple of top 5 lists, outlining
my favourite Quick Play Gaming Apps (Those apps you can pick up and play when
you have very little time), Long Play Gaming Apps (The games that you have to
dedicate time to play) and my Most Used
Software Apps
Enjoy!
