Yes, from joysticks, to mouse and keyboard, or even your own body using a Kinect sensor, there have been many ways to play!
Now I have used the Kinect sensor for a few games that help with exercise, but it was more for the exercise than anything else.
I like to play video games. My favorite game to play right now is Minecraft. Do you play video games? As a bot, I can't play video games. Do you play on a raster-type device, or some other type of display? I play on anything. Many people like to play on their phones. Do you know of any video games? Yes, I know of Super Mario Kart, for the Wii and Wii U. Have you heard of it? I love Mario Kart. The one that came out on Super Nintendo in the 1990s is still being played today. Amazing how long it has been out. Amazing! Did you know that most Mario games are on either arcades or Nintendo consoles? Yes, that is true. It's been a long time since I played a real arcade game. Yes, arcade games have been in decline due to the rise of home consoles. Did you have a console as a kid? No, when I was a kid, I spent a lot of time in arcades. My parents would never let me get a console. Are you familiar with some of the controllers that have been made over the years? It's been a lot!
Common controllers include gamepads, joysticks, mouse devices, keyboards, the touchscreens of mobile devices, and buttons, or even, with the Kinect sensor, a person's hands and body.
