Abstract
Over 36 years have passed since the first comercially successful arcade game "Pong," a simulated game of ping-pong, was invented by Nolan Bushnell at Atari. The game machines at that time were designed to use standard logic ICs, From the technological point of view, they were all immature, and as applications of interactive computer graphics they were also very primitive, Since then, a huge number of games incorporating state-of-the-art computer technologies have been released by companies al over the world. Recent computer games, which have evolved through several stages of technical inovation, constitute what may be caled a brand-new interactive medium. In this paper, we discus several fundamental technologies used in computer games mainly in terms of hardware architecture.
