For example, in World of Warcraft, mana for spells is a game mechanic. The game uses the concept of mana to define how many spells a player can cast. Combine that with the game mechanic of “spirit” to define how fast a player replenishes their mana. Mechanics and rules are pretty closely entwined. Mechanics tend to be more subtle, behind-the-scenes rules, though they can also be pretty large and noticeable, like games that are turn-based—a turn is a game mechanic to control the amount of action a player can do in a given situation.
One of the earliest arcade games, Pong, was created by Nolan Bushnell and based on the 1958 game Tennis for Two. This arcade game debuted in arcades in 1972; however, it grew in popularity when a home version was released by Atari during the Christmas season in 1975. ) This simple game came preloaded into a console that could be hooked up to a television set; players rotated a dial on the console, which moved a paddle back and forth on the TV screen, to hit the ball back and forth. The game was extremely simple and became boring fairly quickly, but it was one of the first interactive games that two players could play at home.
An interesting phenomenon is associated with games that have rules (which is most of them): if there are rules, then there are ways to break them. In other words, ways to cheat! What Is a Game? Cheaters? Cheating in gaming can take two similar but different paths. If you’re playing to win, and you don’t care about following all the rules, then you can break them and cheat to get what you want. However, cheating can also be a way to get a leg up in the game. For example, if you’ve been playing a game to get to the next level but can’t quite get there, learning a cheat, such as how to make your weapon more powerful for a short amount of time—long enough to kill that boss—is another way to bend the rules and advance through the game.
