Most modern console games and arcade games are designed so that they can be played by a single player; although 💲 many of these games have modes that allow two or more players to play (not necessarily simultaneously), very few actually 💲 require more than one player for the game to be played. The Unreal Tournament series is one example of such.[2]

History 💲 [ edit ]

The earliest video games, such as Tennis for Two (1958), Spacewar! (1962), and Pong (1972), were symmetrical games 💲 designed to be played by two players. Single-player games gained popularity only after this, with early titles such as Speed 💲 Race (1974)[3] and Space Invaders (1978).

The reason for this, according to Raph Koster, is down to a combination of several 💲 factors: increasingly sophisticated computers and interfaces that enabled asymmetric gameplay, cooperative gameplay and story delivery within a gaming framework, coupled 💲 with the fact that the majority of early games players had introverted personality types (according to the Myers-Briggs personality type 💲 indicator).[4]
