Multiplayer Video Games
A multiplayer video game is a video game in which more than one person can play in the same game environment at the same time, either locally on the same computing system (couch co-op), on different computing systems via a local area network, or via a wide area network, most commonly the Internet (e.g. ''World of Warcraft'', ''Call of Duty'', ''DayZ''). Multiplayer games usually require players to share a single game system or use networking technology to play together over a greater distance; players may compete against one or more human contestants, work cooperatively with a human partner to achieve a common goal, or supervise other players' activity. Due to multiplayer games allowing players to interact with other individuals, they provide an element of social communication absent from single-player games. The history of multiplayer video games extends over several decades, tracing back to the emergence of electronic gaming in the mid-20th century. One of the earliest inst ...

Historically, the representation of 1 evolved from ancient Sumerian and Babylonian symbols to the modern Arabic numeral.

List Of Zombie Video Games
This is an incomplete list of video games strongly featuring zombies. These games feature creatures inspired by the archetypal flesh-eating zombies seen in horror films, B-movies and literature; such as in the films of George A. Romero. Other variants, such as the faster running zombies, are also included. Particular zombie rationale and depictions vary with the source. Zombies are common or generic enemies in video games. The ZX Spectrum computer game ''Zombie Zombie'', released in Europe in 1984, is considered to be the first video game focused on zombies. Zombie games became more prevalent after the release of the survival horror game ''Resident Evil'' in 1996. This release, coupled with the 1996 light-gun shooter ''The House of the Dead'', gave rise to "an international craze" for zombies, in turn impacting zombie films. ''Resident Evil'' sold 2.75 million copies within the United States alone, and its success resulted in it becoming a major horror franchise encompassing vide ...
