40 Years of Gaming - Dan Bull
When gamers came along
The planet laughed at us
But this is gaming
In the future and you haven't
Heard the last of us
Dismissing this is just
An enormous fallacy
So open your mind
And let it alter your reality
Hey geeks
I bring a message from the future
There's a new revolution
Heading to computers
It's '73
But it won't be too long
'Til we can get the TV
To play a game of pong
But it's time to breakout
Of the house
The crazy days of space
Invaders await us
Arcade potatoes
Swap the shooting range
For computer games
Arcade renaissance
Pre-8-bit's blooming days
A new decade
Welcome to the 80's
Pac-man's the latest new craze
Qbert's the rage
The first personal computers
Let loose
As manic miner grabs your time
And to fight is truly useless
Elite gave legions
Of wee little boys
A deep space region
And freedom of choice
Now here comes the console
The first one sold portended
An industry of dimensions untold
The birth of franchise
Mario brothers
Donkey kong
Monty mole
I'd tell you the others
But the list would
Go on and on
Longer than I can tell
Until the 90's
When the game became hand held
Meanwhile
I bought stories of another time
And point-and-click arrived
From the shores of monkey island
Ever want to see
Your chums beat right up
Well daniel-san
You need to try street fighter
A tournament with all
Your buddies in your front room
Is all good until you
Fight online on doom
Hijack your mind
Your momma can't abide this
Night trap might lack morals
It's a moral crisis
What are we doing to our youth
They're shooting people
Glued to screens with superglue
Computers need to
Be banned when the laws broke
Ban manhunt
Ban grand theft auto
Try something musical
But if you have a sore throat
I have what you're after
Parappa the rapper
Tomb raider
The tune invades your brain
Get in her way and
She'll make you taste the pain
A sports a game always
And it's hard fact
Then a game became a sport
And its name was starcraft
Kids used to play with
Dolls and a house
The sims is the same
But controlled with a mouse
Open worlds abound
But rarely 3D hey
Until the elder scrolls and GTA
Wait 'til you see the scale
Of the monsters and bosses
That you face in shadow
Of the colossus
Things are getting bigger
More decisions more maps
Millions of simultaneous
Players in warcraft
All the people
So many people
See your whole family
Can get involved in wii sports
And more people means
More money more flair
For big blockbusters
COD modern warfare
Even more people
More freedom more indie games
Limbo fez super meat boy braid
Revolutionizing gameplay
A mind blast
Constructing infinite destructible worlds
Minecraft
Gaming on the telephone
Yes I know it sounds absurd
Fruit ninja farmville angry birds
When gamers came along
The planet laughed at us
But this is gaming in the future
And you haven't heard the last of us
Dismissing this is just
An enormous fallacy
So open your mind and
Let it alter your reality
When gamers came along
The planet laughed at us
But this is gaming in the future
And you haven't heard
The last of us
Dismissing this is just
An enormous fallacy
So open your mind and
Let it alter your reality
When gamers came along
The planet laughed at us
But this is gaming in the future
And you haven't heard
The last of us
Dismissing this is just
An enormous fallacy
So open your mind and
Let it alter your reality

But this is gaming in the future

The last of us
Dismissing this is just
An enormous fallacy

The planet laughed at us
But this is gaming in the future
And you haven't heard
The last of us
Dismissing this is just
An enormous fallacy
So open your mind and
Let it alter your reality
Gamers
The world is ours
Now where shall we take it
