    About this ebook

    Why do People Like Gaming? Well, many millions of professionals and worried parents have been asking themselves this very question for at least fifty years.
    When video gaming started in the Seventies, most people saw it as a bit of fun, but as the craze took hold, even in that decade, intellectuals and educationists began calling it 'a stupid distraction', and the gamers 'dumb'. This continued until fairly recently, and millions of disparaging words were written about video games and gamers.
    However, the tide is now turning, and 'experts' are pontificating on the positive aspects of gaming on gamers…even on very young ones. All the while this debate swirled around them, gamers just got on with what they liked doing the most - playing video games.
    Much has been written about why gaming took the youth of the Seventies by storm, and why now, people of all ages love to play. Some like the rôle-playing, others like the virtual risk-taking, and others like to hone skills that they would not ordinarily use.
    Some even dream of joining the thin ranks of the millionaire élite gamers.
    Whatever your reason, may you long derive pleasure from your hobby, and may The Force be with you!
    The information in this ebook on various types of games, video, computer, arcade and related subjects, is organised into 16 chapters of about 500-600 words each.
    As an added bonus, I am granting you permission to use the content on your own website or in your own blogs and newsletter, although it is better if you rewrite them in your own words first.

    Owen Jones

    Author Owen Jones, from Barry, South Wales, came to writing novels relatively recently, although he has been writing all his adult life. He has lived and worked in several countries and travelled in many, many more. He speaks, or has spoken, seven languages fluently and is currently learning Thai, since he lived in Thailand with his Thai wife of ten years. "It has never taken me long to learn a language," he says, "but Thai bears no relationship to any other language I have ever studied before." When asked about his style of writing, he said, "I'm a Celt, and we are Romantic. I believe in reincarnation and lots more besides in that vein. Those beliefs, like 'Do unto another...', and 'What goes round comes around', Fate and Karma are central to my life, so they are reflected in my work'. His first novel, 'Daddy's Hobby' from the series 'Behind The Smile: The Story of Lek, a Bar Girl in Pattaya' has become the classic novel on Pattaya bar girls and has been followed by six sequels. However, his largest collection is 'The Megan Series', twenty-three novelettes on the psychic development of a young teenage girl, the subtitle of which, 'A Spirit Guide, A Ghost Tiger and One Scary Mother!' sums them up nicely. After fifteen years of travelling, Owen and his wife are now back in his home town. He sums up his style as: "I write about what I see... or think I see... or dream... and in the end, it's all the same really..."

      Hello and thank you for buying this book called ‘Gaming and Video Games – An interactive escape from the humdrum….’ I hope that you will find the information helpful, useful and profitable, and that it will interest those who like arcade, video and computer games.

      Why do People Like Gaming? Well, many millions of professionals and worried parents have been asking themselves this very question for at least fifty years.

      When video gaming started in the Seventies, most people saw it as a bit of fun, but as the craze took hold, even in that decade, intellectuals and educationists began calling it ‘a stupid distraction’, and the gamers ‘dumb’. This continued until fairly recently, and millions of disparaging words were written about video games and gamers.

      However, the tide is now turning, and ‘experts’ are pontificating on the positive aspects of gaming on gamers…even on very young ones. All the while this debate swirled around them, gamers just got on with what they liked doing the most – playing video games.

      Much has been written about why gaming took the youth of the Seventies by storm, and why now, people of all ages love to play. Some like the rôle-playing, others like the virtual risk-taking, and others like to hone skills that they would not ordinarily use.

      Some even dream of joining the thin ranks of the millionaire élite gamers.

      Whatever your reason, may you long derive pleasure from your hobby, and may The Force be with you!

      The information in this ebook on various types of games, video, computer, arcade and related subjects, is organised into 19 chapters of about 500-600 words each.

      As an added bonus, I am granting you permission to use the content on your own website or in your own blogs and newsletter, although it is better if you rewrite them in your own words first.

      You may also split the book up and resell the articles. In fact, the only right that you do not have is to resell or give away the book as it was delivered to you.

      If you have any feedback, please leave it with the company you bought this book from.

      Thanks again for purchasing this book,

      Regards,

      Inspirational Quotes

      Believe not in anything simply because you have heard it,

      Believe not in anything simply because it was spoken and rumoured by many,

      Believe not in anything simply because it was found written in your religious texts,

      Believe not in anything merely on the authority of teachers and elders,

      Believe not in traditions because they have been handed down for generations,

      But after observation and analysis, if anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, accept it and live up to it.

      Gautama Buddha

      ———

      Great Spirit, whose voice is on the wind, hear me. Let me grow in strength and knowledge.

      Make me ever behold the red and purple sunset. May my hands respect the things you have given me.

      Teach me the secrets hidden under every leaf and stone, as you have taught people for ages past.
