But still it was a big hit amongst users because at this time the computer was nothing more than a "dumb machine" which had to be given a lot of commands to get a task completed. So when the early computer games came out it was a source of relaxation and entertainment for professionals who used computers.

One of the main reasons that I am against playing computer games is that it inactivates children and increases
