INTRODUCTION
Background of the study
Virtual games or video games are electronic games that involve human interaction with a
user interface to generate visual feedback on a video device such as a TV screen or computer
monitor. The word video game traditionally referred to a raster display device but in the 2000’s it
implies any types of display device that can produce two or three dimensional images. Examples
of these are personal computer and video game/s consoles.
Traditional Filipino games are commonly played by children usually using native
materials or instruments. In the Philippines, due to limited resources of toys of Filipino children,
they usually came up on inventing games. This does not require anything like gadgets to be
played. It only needs the players themselves with the flexibility as human to think and act. And
thus, it makes the game much interesting and challenging.
Games could be physically played, mentally played or played by used of different
gadgets and technologies. Traditional games include the games that used more physical and
mental attributes as support and uses different native or indigenous materials. While the video
games or virtual games use gadgets and technologies to play it.
