  Gaming And Video Games - An...

  Why do People Like Gaming? Well, many millions of professionals and worried parents have been asking themselves this very question for at least fifty years. 
  When video gaming started in the Seventies, most people saw it as a bit of fun, but as the craze took hold, even in that decade, intellectuals and educationists began calling it `a stupid distraction`, and the gamers `dumb`. This continued until fairly recently, and millions of disparaging words were written about video games and gamers.  
  However, the tide is now turning, and `experts` are pontificating on the positive aspects of gaming on gamers…even on very young ones. All the while this debate swirled around them, gamers just got on with what they liked doing the most - playing video games. 
  Much has been written about why gaming took the youth of the Seventies by storm, and why now, people of all ages love to play. Some like the rôle-playing, others like the virtual risk-taking, and others like to hone skills that they would not ordinarily use. 
  Some even dream of joining the thin ranks of the millionaire élite gamers. 
  Whatever your reason, may you long derive pleasure from your hobby, and may The Force be with you! 
  The information in this ebook on various types of games, video, computer, arcade and related subjects, is organised into 16 chapters of about 500-600 words each. 
  As an added bonus, I am granting you permission to use the content on your own website or in your own blogs and newsletter, although it is better if you rewrite them in your own words first.

  Adam and No Eve - When humanity...

  Adam and No Eve by Alfred Bester - The last living man on a world rendered utterly lifeless by all–consuming fire– how could he start life alone? 
  Alfred Bester (1913–1987) was an American science fiction writer, screenwriter, and editor, best known for his groundbreaking novels The Demolished Man (1953) and The Stars My Destination (1956). Born in New York City, Bester studied at the University of Pennsylvania and later worked as a writer for comics, radio, and television before making his mark in science fiction. 
  His career took off in the 1940s with short stories published in Astounding Science Fiction and Galaxy Science Fiction. His writing was innovative, blending psychological depth, linguistic playfulness, and a breakneck narrative style. In 1953, The Demolished Man, a futuristic crime novel featuring telepathic detectives, won the first-ever Hugo Award for Best Novel. The Stars My Destination, a revenge-fueled space odyssey inspired by The Count of Monte Cristo, became a cult classic, often cited as a precursor to cyberpunk. 
  Bester’s work influenced writers like Philip K. Dick, William Gibson, and Roger Zelazny. His use of non-linear storytelling, inner monologues, and typography experimentation set him apart. Though he published sporadically after the 1950s, he remained a key figure in the genre.

  Double-Cross by Frederik Pohl - Revolt was brewing on Venus, led by the descendant of the first Earthmen to land. Svan was the leader making the final plans—plotting them a bit too well. 
  The Officer of the Deck was pleased as he returned to the main lock. There was no reason why everything shouldn't have been functioning perfectly, of course, but he was pleased to have it confirmed, all the same. The Executive Officer was moodily smoking a cigarette in the open lock, staring out over the dank Venusian terrain at the native town. He turned. 
  "Everything shipshape, I take it!" he commented. 
  The OD nodded. "I'll have a blank log if this keeps up," he said. "Every man accounted for except the delegation, cargo stowed, drivers ready to lift as soon as they come back." 
  The Exec tossed away his cigarette. "If they come back." 
  "Is there any question?" 
  The Exec shrugged. "I don't know, Lowry," he said. "This is a funny place. I don't trust the natives." 
  Lowry lifted his eyebrows. "Oh? But after all, they're human beings, just like us—" 
  "Not any more. Four or five generations ago they were. Lord, they don't even look human any more. Those white, flabby skins—I don't like them." 
  "Acclimation," Lowry said scientifically. "They had to acclimate themselves to Venus's climate. They're friendly enough."

  DEFENSE MECH by RAY BRADBURY - Halloway stared down at Earth, and his brain tore loose and screamed, Man, man, how'd you get in a mess like this, in a rocket a million miles past the moon, shooting for Mars and danger and terror and maybe death. 
  Oh, my god, do you realize how far from Earth we are? Do you really think about it? It's enough to scare the guts from a man. Hold me up. Do something. Give me sedatives or hold my hand or run call mama. A million cold miles up. See all the flickering stars? Look at my hands tremble. Feel my heart whirling like a hot pinwheel! 
  The captain comes toward me, a stunned expression on his small, tight face. He takes my arm, looking into my eyes. Hello, captain. I'm sick, if that's what you want to know. I've a right to be scared—just look at all that space! Standing here a moment ago, I stared down at Earth so round and cloud-covered and asleep on a mat of stars, and my brain tore loose and screamed, man, man, how'd you get in a mess like this, in a rocket a million miles past the moon, shooting for Mars with a crew of fourteen others! I can hardly stand up, my knees, my hands, my heart, are shaking apart. Hold me up, sir. 
  What are hysterics like? The captain unprongs the inter-deck audio and speaks swiftly, scowling, into it. I hope he's phoning the psychiatrist. I need something. Oh, dammit, dammit! 
  The psychiatrist descends the ladder in immaculate salt-white uniform and walks toward me in a dream. Hello, doctor. You're the one for me. Please, sir, turn this damned rocket around and fly back to New York. I'll go crazy with all this space and distance! 
  The psychiatrist and the captain's voices murmur and blend, with here and there an emphasis, a toss of head, a gesture: 
  "Young Halloway here's on a fear-jag, doctor. Can you help him?"
