	Encyclopedia: 1982 in video gaming
		A simulation game (also known as a game of status or mixed game) is a mixture of a game of skill, a game of chance and a game of strategy, which results in a simulation of a complex structure (like a stock exchange, or civilisation flux).
		Video games are made by developers, who used to do this as individuals in the 80's (Bedroom Coders), but now are almost always a large team consisting of designers, graphic designers and other artists, programmers, sound designers, musicians, and other technicians.
		Game may refer to either the virtual universe and all of its governing rules ("Nethack is a game"), or a particular instance of that game ("my game ended in yet another annoying death", "game over").

		It could be that the sedentary act of gaming causes weight gain, but it could be the opposite: that children who are socially ostracized for being heavy might be more likely to turn to games for amusement than their peers.
		Gaming consoles come with slots for four controllers, and in my house, those slots are rarely empty, as a rotating pack of fifth-graders socializes at decibel levels that make me long for a little treetop isolation.

		Although these games, such as "Pitfall!" on the 2600, weren't new, they became MUCH more of the dominant style of gaming starting with the NES and continued well into the era of mid-1990's 16-bit machines.

		1986 also debuted the last major (and non-portable, which aren't mentioned here) game system that many consider to be truly "classic", the Atari 7800.
