When the game is over, he is neither lost nor beaten.
      Most video games call for some semblance of hand-and-eye coordination, and some hospitals arc now using them in recovery programs for brain-damaged patients. It has been found that some patients who were otherwise thought to be unreachable have been "brought out" through their use. Moreover, experimental research is now being conducted regarding the feasibility of video games as a test for drunken driving. Intoxicants tend to slow reaction time and impair coordination -- and nowhere is this kind of impairment more measurable than on the video game playfield. Some day a poor showing at "Six-Pack Man" may cost you your license.

Strategy games are becoming more and more popular, and among these are the so-called "fantasy role playing" adventures.  These games allow players to construct a whole personality, choosing strengths and weaknesses from a list of possible character traits.
