The game I think deserves
the title of “A Thousand Year Game” would be StreetFighter or any other 1vs1
player fighting game.
It deserves the title
because it was also once play in a thousand year ago which maybe its not be in
digital form but in real life as maybe people in thousand year ago used to
fight with one another using real skill and method, as there is always a winner
and a loser, the reward of the game will be the bet they set for each other or
it will be something that is valuable to the ‘player’ which is the themselves.
There is also risk to the past game which is the ‘player’ life. As maybe this
is the inspiration of the start of the fighting game being introduced when the
year passes.
I think that until now fighting game is still
being played, is because of the excitement it gives to both player, either the
losing or the winning player as the losing player will want to turn tides
trying to win the match and the winning player want to secure the winning
position so this will increase the excitement.
This might also because
it have met all the criteria of a game, Player; this game can be played alone
or multiplayer. Objective; the game is to outwit the player, for example both
player have to understand what they want to do in the next move so they can
either defend or attack the player, used special power. So I think that it’s
outwitting the person when player StreetFighter. Procedures; Press start
button, choose character, fight with opponent and conclude a winner. Rules; the
rule is to kill the opponent before he/she kill you or before the time runs
out. Resources; the different power each character has, the health, time given
and combo bar (where player to get enough combo to do a special attack).
Conflict; the opponent the player faced. Boundaries; the controller and the
arena of the battlefield. Outcome; one winner and one loser, zero sum game.
This is why I think that StreetFighter is the game of “A Thousand Year Game.”
In conclusion, I think
that StreetFighter deserves the title “A Thousand Year Game” is because it will
still be played in the next thousand year time as maybe the game will not be
called StreetFighter but it will still be a 1vs1 fighting game, maybe in the
future the game might become to a game in real life but requires the player to
control their own fighting own build fighting robot/machine in an arena, it
will be as similar as the game of StreetFighter but in the next thousand year
time, fighting with their toy of machine/robot to be in the top of that ‘future
game’.
