Computer Games: An example of a video game would be Nintendo’s “Donkey Kong.” Released in 1981, the video game was and remains extremely ground-breaking to this day, partly because it used animation in video games in a way that was extremely ground-breaking and unheard of for the time, the other most famous animation is video games up to that point being the rather primitive Pong 1972). The video game used fully animated characters that the player could control fully, and for this very reason it remains a turning point in animation in video games history. Many games that are being made even today are influenced by it, so it’s importance and influence cannot be ignored. It’s colourful and vivid nature meant that it was targeted towards a teenage audience.
