Multimedia Games' innovations have pushed the gaming industry's technology envelope. The giant strides we've made—in casino management, back-office systems development, new gaming systems, game introductions, innovative communications, networked technologies and player tracking systems—have helped position us as a leader in the world of interactive gaming systems. Multimedia games may be used in a physical environment with particular effects, with multiple users in locally with an offline computer and an online network, or, game system.

The various structures of technological or digital multimedia may be is destined to increase the users experience, for example to make it simple and faster to transport information, to excel everyday experience or in entertainment or art.

Language of Multimedia Games

In multimedia the teaching ingredients can be display in a number of ways and they can assembled, broadly under four types.

4) Activates

Some keeps activates as part of games. Here we focus only on games and presentation of it and their design and how they help to obtain the objectives of language teaching. Games, in a general manner, are arousing curiosity and that too presented through multimedia, which is a medium for making a game interesting or not mainly depends in the design. Language games can design in a number of ways. Conditional upon the kind of involvement of the learners they come in

1) Adventures

2) Ordinary games

3) Simulations.

Games of any type require active involvement of the learners and so teaching through games makes the students to make internal the concept comprehensively, and also the learning will be quickly.

Language games can be designed for pair or single of players. Support group conversation and other activities like noting down some points, referring to the previously lessons or books like dictionary, etc. Through the varieties of multiplicities learning is taking place unintentionally and circuitously. Learners as well as slow learners. Games may be given in a different ways same as

1) Gain

2) Verbal esteem

3) Time on a game

Esteem supports the children to play games more and more with involvement.

Interactive games permit students to work in multipletyeps of discuss, writing, reading and thinking.

Language of games can be used to test circuitously the understanding obtained by the learners, not by proposal of a question.

Forms of Games

AS I Mentioned language games can be designed in a very many ways on the basis of sort of abilities to be given, probability of technical support, the level of learners, etc.

Simple Games

In this sort of games the learners are easily users they are not supposing any role in the games. For instance, the games like Train, Balloon, etc. in “Senthamizh” come under this group. In the terms of game as toll for education or in the game Train, the situation of train in a humorous park is used. Play in this kind of tinny trains. Whole condition of a tinny train in a real humorous park with a platform, entrance, signals, cave, stationmaster, car park, etc. are described. The game goes like this; there are four bogies in the train.

Iranian characters (letters) are dispersed outside the platform. The user has to obtain a letter the letter picked out will move to the train and will occupy the front devil. The user has to picked out different letters one after another to create a significant word. Once a word is creating, the user has to inform the who in charge of a train station, by clicking on him. The word creates. If it is right, the train moves if not it will not. Any letter occupied a devil a be removed at any time by clicking the mouse on the letter or using the computer keyboard. Once a right word “or CTRL+Z” is create, the character for creates next word. Right words and the number of right words create so far. If one tries to create a word, which is before create, message will be given through voice in Persian lands.

This is an example of game, through which different of language skills like acknowledgment of symbol. Vocabulary evolvement, character and spelling learning. While working collaboratively with family or friends or etc... The game permit group conversation among them on creating different right words and the properness of a word will create etc. kind of activities, great levels. There are

1) ‘Invention of words’ for concept perception and picture-word mutual relation, etc. in fact each game helps to acquire more than one skill.

2) ‘Make or supply with windows’ for letter identification,

3) ‘Animal Sanctuary’ for naming the sounds, made by different birds and animals,

4) ‘Swan’ again for symbol, sound mutual relation,

5) ‘Balloons’ for symbol, sound mutual relation,

Adventure

This type of game makes user to do adventures like traveling and seeking a hunting, treasure, etc. and Adventure games are usually giving a name the act of real-life in the object language, the game can present in different social culture and situations. For instance, a game called ‘Dog Search’ is designed with a house on its location. In this game the user has to guide an old woman who has lost her Dog. The game has a rowing hall, backyard, dining hall, a verandah, two bedrooms, a kitchen room, and a garden in the backyard. The house is with all common household items. The old woman lost her dog in the drawing hall. The user has to help the old woman to locate the Dog. The mouse. When catching assorted spots in the house, you will get different messages and signal to find the hidden Dog.

‘If the daughter is in the kitchen, the cat comes here’. Like this, oral messages and signals are served to the user and with help of the signals the user has to find the cat. The game may be completely interesting to the children. Learners to have conversation with fellow students. The game is essentially useful to improve the Listening abilities and make better the analytical thinking of the learners. For a number of household articles. Different penalize structures, basic verbs, etc. are also introduced through this game. It indirectly supplies a number of cultural notes.

Simulation

A situation is pretended and the user will be one of the ‘characters’ is that situation. For instance, the learners can promise as if he is a bank manager, manager of a grocery shop, receptionist in a company. And he has to function as that character. Simulation is a sophisticated form of learning. Thoughtfulness. For the children in the basic levels, situation, which fits their level, has to be selected for this game. Location for a game.

Role of the shopkeeper or a customer. The conversation between these characters is limited and so the software could easily control it. In case, child at primary level cannot kind of sentence, the chosen to create games in simulation style lot of information have to store for all possible conversations and should be controlled for correct retrieval. It is an Ail based game. Simulation games are more effective and interesting. Correctly designed games develop the communicative abilities of learners. Listening, Comprehension, reading, analytical and creative thinking, development of sticking together and unity, and vocabulary are the abilities directly linked with simulation.

Last Act, Conclusion

Nowadays most of people using the Multimedia as medium of entertainment. Teaching through multimedia will be more interesting to the people specially children and effective in learning. Today using the multimedia device as part of educational tool; the cost of production of a multimedia title is, without a doubt, compare to other media is much more than that of the materials on other media. But the benefit of this media is that the full material is in electronic media. It gives way to reproduce or revise the material with no or less cost and which is not, most of the time the case in other media. The development of Information Technology and the use of Internet make the sharing of information simple with smaller cost. anyway the production cost of multimedia title, which is a one-time and put in the right point for investing, is too much, it can be used by a large number of total number of people living we want train with smaller cost. Nowadays internet is available in most of the world. In that the production of multimedia titles for language teaching and teaching of other subjects in any languages. Because, production of multimedia title is need too much time and work.
