In the early decades of the 80s, there was already a fierce competition between gaming companies in marketing their products. The gameplay is popularly known as video games can only be played by one or two players on a console. Television set is needed as a medium of display. Type of game is also still very simple with a very rough graph. Looks like a game of language similar to Java programs, which can be played on mobile phones today.

This game is usually played by inserting a CD that can be changed or cartridge that must be incorporated into the game console. Video games with the console now also been growing rapidly. Currently, a fairly dominant player is the X-Box from Microsoft and Sony's PlayStation output. PlayStation (PS) has been successful with its portable PSP and PS2 are phenomenal because the price is quite cheap, around Rp1, 5 million. Currently in general there are rental housing throughout the PS2 that can be played with costs ranging from only Rp1, 500 per hour. PlayStation itself has released a new version, the PS3 with a price tag of which is still expensive, Rp.7 million-an per unit (10/05/2007).
