Blog Task Week 15 - Games Britannia “Joystick Generation”

After watching the previous two parts of the three part series of Games Britannia, it was time to finish up with the third part, Joystick Generation.

In this episode of Games Britannia Wooley explores how Britain has made the historic jump from board games to digital games.Starting in the 1980's Wooley explores the era of arcade games such as pacman and space invaders the really catapulted digital games. Wooley begins to explore the 90's and there is a particular focus on female characters in games such as Lara Croft. The documentary finalises by bringing the audiences attention to the present day, the internet age. An era where MMO's begin to dominate, games such as World Of Warcraft and Runescape. The documentary also looks at the Grand Theft Auto series and compares its morals to every day life.

This episode to me, was much more interesting than the other because I prefer digital games over non digital games. It provided a good insight into the history of digital games and how much they have changed over the years.
