First Post

Welcome to my blog. On this blog you will be seeing my progress throughout two years of studying a level 3 games design course at South Leicester College. I created this blog to upload my work during my time at SLC. The finished games I will create will also be posted on to this blog. 
Just a few things about myself, I absolutely love football and i am a season ticket holder at Leicester City FC and have been for 6 years. My favourite game is Fifa however I also like playing games like Call Of Duty, UFC 2 and GTA 5.

My ambitions for games design is to create fully functional games that I enjoy and that i feel other people would enjoy.

The PlayStation 1: My first gaming machine was the original PlayStation console, more commonly known as the PS1. I had this as my dad had it before I was born.

Each of these platforms have different limitations and features and this is what i am going to be looking at in this blog. Arcade machines are those big boxes that were much more popular back in the 20th century but are still popular in Arcades these days. An arcade machine is one singular machine that has everything it needs to run a game all in one, the screen is very big but is still built in to the system. it has very simple controls that any user could understand. They make money by each time they are used as you have to put around 50p in every time you play a game. The limitations is that it is not a machine that can be taken somewhere it is a very big and heavy machine and could be damaged very easily. Another limitation is that they can not connect to the internet so it is either a single player game or some are multiplayer but both have to be there on the same machine.
