The video game industry continues to see an impressive jump in both revenue and attentiveness to esports from major media companies as coronavirus-related restrictions roll into May, keeping millions of people at home and searching for new forms of entertainment. But as countries begin to examine paths toward loosening stay-at-home restrictions and reopening businesses, will the industry be able to sustain its newfound gains?
The explanation for gaming's recent surge is straightforward. "People are at home, they have nothing to do, they are not commuting," says Michael Pachter, an analyst at Wedbush Securities, explaining the growth. "You have more time and you're bored."

PHT remembers video games: Bones-ing up on 'Mutant League Hockey'
There probably won't be another hockey video game quite like "Mutant League Hockey." In all honesty, it's kind of hard to believe it ever got released.
It's kind of staggering that "Mutant League Hockey" was published by Electronic Arts in 1994. After all, this was at the same time the company that was churning out beloved, licensed sports titles. Gory parodies didn't really fit with "NHL '94" and "NHL '95," let alone the increasingly popular "Madden" games.
Get over your 'Animal Crossing' addiction with these top video games
Whether you like to throw punches or pigskin, expert Daniel Mastin, who runs Video Games New York in the East Village, the oldest and largest video-game emporium in the city, has a recommendation to keep you entertained during lockdown.
If you're nostalgic for your old Game Boy, consider the re-upped “Legend of Zelda” game. The adventure premise is the same from the ’90s: a quest to escape an island, but Mastin adds, "Nintendo modernized it. It's beautiful and easy to play."

Alex Bregman pulls all-nighter playing video games to help Houston families

HOUSTON – The competition has been stiff and the grind has been an uphill battle for Astros third baseman Alex Bregman.
But he hasn't spent most of Tuesday in a batter's box or fielding line drives in the hot corner, instead, the Astros all-star has been taking his best swings against teammates and other celebrities to continue efforts to raise money to help families through the Houston Food Bank.
"We're 12 hours and 15 minutes in so far," Bregman said around 8:15 p.m. Tuesday. "It's been a long one but it's been a lot of fun."
The 2012 Tiger Woods Masters video game is my golf obsession
Quick! Before real golf comes back, lemme tell you about how virtual golf has carried me these last few months.
When you fire up a 9-year-old video game, you're signing up for surprises, and Bio, now infamous for making an obscene gesture and earning a year-long suspension in Korea, was one of those surprises. (Kim was a full-status Tour pro in 2011 and an absolute menace on the video game.)
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12 is a relic in that it offers an advanced, segmented journey for the single player (called Road to the Masters) but isn't sophisticated enough that it employs constant online updates. You're stuck with the stars and flameouts (see: Jeff Overton) of 2011, and with the rare approval from Augusta National, you can actually win golf's holy grail: a green jacket.
10 sports video games that deserve remasters or remakes in 2020 | PhillyVoice
Tuesday was a big day for anyone who grew up on the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater games, with the legendary skateboarder and Playstation announcing the first two games in the beloved series would be remastered and released on September 4th of this year. If nothing else, they're a reminder of a simpler time at the turn of the century when people weren't afraid to go outside or eat at an Applebee's.

The history of video games | The Gazette
The first electronic games were invented about 70 years ago, but they looked nothing like video games today.
The original video games in the 1950s didn’t even have videos — they were giant machines with a few flashing lights that played simple games such as tick-tack-toe. Unless you worked in a high-tech research lab, you probably wouldn’t even get a chance to see one of these games up close.
Today, it’s easy to play video games on TVs, computers, cellphones and tablets. Many of the games and characters kids play today can be traced back many years.
