Video games remain a favourite pastime for kids and teenagers, offering immersive virtual worlds that can hold a player's attention for hours at a time.
How to Play a Video Game
Playing a video game involves sending input through a controller, such as a keyboard, mouse or joystick, to interact with the action on screen. A standard gaming setup relies on three core components:
- Monitor or gaming platform - a PC, home console or mobile phone.
- Controller - a keyboard, mouse, joystick or gamepad.
- Gaming software - the game program created by the studio for a specific platform.
