Anyone with bad eyesight may find it more difficult to play a mobile game on its small screen.

The Limitations of TV games are they cannot be too detailed and have to be very simple in terms of objectives, controls and settings, the games tend to resemble Mario, the player would wander back and forth through a 2D world collect coins or a similar equivalent Controllers Consoles The first Playstation controller was released in 1994 along with the Playstation, the first controller had no analog sticks, in 1997 they revamped the controller with added analogs and a ferrite bead on the wire. They later started to phase the Playstation controller out and tried to introduce the DualShock controller. The DualShock featured two analog sticks and dual vibration motors, capable of providing vibration feedback, if the game supports it, also they featured better grips on the sticks. Later adaptations of the DualShock have many improvements like the DualShock 3 has a PS button and the new DualShock 4 has a touchpad, built in microphone and a ‘share’ button.

PC There are a few limitations when it comes to arcade games, screen burn can ruin gameplay from being constantly on, coins can get jammed in the machines rendering them useless until fixed, and it costs money to play and progress is not saved.
