Dating back to the 1990’s, this is the age of technologies. Compared to a decade ago, the 21st century has ushered in efficiency and speed. It is difficult to imagine what kids were doing when video and computer games were not available. Everything is fast in this age of technologies, including computer games and videogames.

There are few who do not like playing video games or computer games. For some, it is an addiction. In the early stages of game evolution, the play was limited to a single individual. Now with network and multiplayer gaming, this is no longer the case. Multiplayer gaming, in general, refers to a game that allows more than one person to participate by broad band internet connection.

Multiplayer gaming is hot. You can find players from grade school (often under adult supervision) to retired individuals. It allows gamers with different levels of skill to participate and play against or with each other. For example, this was the case with Johnny (age 11) in California and his grandfather in England. Distance no longer is a barrier to gaming participation.
