Video games have changed a lot in the last 30 years. In the 1990s, Nintendo's Super Mario Brothers looked very high-tech.
In 2001, Halo: Combat Evolved was released. It was the first game where a player could explore a limited 3D map. The engine also allowed the player to have different experiences. For example, the enemies acted differently every time you played the same map.
Since then, video games have become even more complex. Skyrim (2011) lets gamers play freely in a huge, beautiful world. The design and detail are fantastic. One of the most popular releases this year is Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. This game has an open scenario with a linear story at the same time. Also, it offers a large dungeon-like map. It has three different layers of adventure: the Depths, the Surface and the Sky.
It's hard to imagine how video games will change in the next 30 years!
