Development of technology is having an effect on the development of the game, where the change of late grown more rapidly. At about the early decades of the 80s, there is already fierce competition among gaming companies in marketing their products. Games are popular with a video game can only be played by one or two players on a console. It takes the television set as display media. Type of game it is still very simple with a very rough chart. It looks much like the game of the Java programming language, which can be played on mobile now. Well-known game companies at the time was Atari, Sega and Nintendo.

Console video games and this game is a form of interactive multimedia used for entertainment facilities. The game is played using a tool that can be grasped by the hand and connected to a tool box or console. Hand held device that was known by the name of the joystick. It was a couple of buttons for directional control forward, backward, left and right, where its function is to interact and control the images on the television screen. This game is usually played by inserting a CD which can be changed or the cartridge to be inserted into the game console.

Video game console is now also growing rapidly. Currently, a fairly dominant player is the X-Box from Microsoft and Sony PlayStation output. PlayStation (PS) has been successful with its portable PSP and PS2 are phenomenal because the price is pretty cheap, around Rp1, 5 million. Currently in the corners of rental housing is generally found that the PS2 can only play with the cost ranging from Rp1, 500 per hour. PlayStation itself has released a new version, with a price tag of the PS3 is still expensive,'s Rp.7 million per unit (in mid-2007). No doubt, look and acceleration is much smoother and faster than its predecessor generation.

Over time, gamers want a game that not only can be played by two people, but also can be played simultaneously regardless of their mass and distance between regions such as the other one to penetrate the distance between countries. PlayStation and X-Box was featured as a console that can be played online.Apart from the console, the game can also be run from a personal computer (PC) or often referred to as PC gaming. Games on the PC is not less interesting than the console. Let us see the difference.

Graphic image displayed on the PC game more vivid and sharp, depending on the use of video display adapter card or a card that is used on the computer mainboard. The more sophisticated and large memory capacity of its video card, the more smooth and acceleration is also the resolution of his game.

Types of games available for a video game or console is determined by the market demands and trends. Video game console according to presumption or more people, more considered as a small children's toys, while the PC is the toy of their more 'mature'. Because of that, several years ago, the console appears to play a game a lot more simpler, like platform games, shoot-shoot (shoot-em-up) and beat-beat (beat-em-up). PC gaming was dominated to a genre RPG, strategy and simulation.

With the development of video game or console market among adults, the difference with the PC game is also on the wane. Lately, strategy games, role-playing games and simulation games, although not as much in PC gaming, it can be found in video games.

Initially, when we are playing alone on a PC or a computer, which became our opponent is the computer itself. But with the network system (LAN: local area network), we can fight others on a separate computer, which is more known as multiplayer. To be able to play it, we need to connect a PC or computer to a group of other PCs that are connected. Multiplayer games can be played with a local network without internet access, but can also use the internet access. Multiplayer game that does not require internet access is also called a LAN game.

In Indonesia alone, since the 2000s, dominated by a LAN game shootout games, including Counter Strike (CS) and the strategy game Warcraft. This game still has a limitation in the number of players. Our opponents in the game is limited to the number of PCs that are connected in a local network. If the game was played more like a mass, simultaneously and without considering the distance, then the PC must be connected to the Internet network. Because of its application or online must be connected to the internet, many people refer to it as an online game.

While the word "game" can be interpreted as an arena for decision and action of the players. There are targets to be achieved the players. Intellectual agility, to some extent, a measure of the extent to which it is interesting to play the game to the fullest.

According to Alan Shiu Ho Kwan (2000), there are at least six factors that underlie a person playing games: the offer of freedom, diversity of choice, the appeal of picture elements, the interface (interface), and accessibility challenges. Based on the above understanding, we can conclude that almost all people must have liked bahakan games, including students. For that will be discussed on the historical development of computer games as well as its development, as well as its impact on students.

Then berkembangan up to 3-D games even now berrkembang games on line became the most favored by students and college students. Games can also be dioperesikan in a variety of operating systems, like Windows or Linux. That's what today is feared by the parents and students.

Games are actually very important for human brain development. A man will start thinking if it is confronted with a problem. Meanwhile, in a game, we are faced with various problems and we are required to solve such a way that we can finish or we can win the game / games that we play.

But despite all these advantages, there is a threat that is still a challenge for the players, games, games are addictive. The problem actually makes the games industry manager for joy. That way the products they offer games that can be sold in the market. But not for the players or games addict.
