OMEN by HP supercharges the PC gaming experience

Video gaming reached the mainstream in the 1970s and 1980s, when arcade video games (think Centipedes and Space Invaders), gaming consoles (like Atari) and home computer games (remember Pong?) were widely available and popular in the United States.

Since then, gaming has morphed to include literally hundreds of types of games, including first-person shooters, text and graphic adventures, fantasy, simulation, and massively multiplayer online role-playing games, or MMORPGs.

And gaming's popularity has exploded, with people from every corner of the globe hollering at their screens, clutching their heads in horror, and exclaiming at one another's heists, leaps, hits, kills, and virtual deaths.
