After the prolific Spanish production of video games in the 80's (considered as the Golden Age of the Spanish video game) came the technological crisis of the 90's which prompted the Spanish speaking countries not to produce video games until the year 2000. During these years, the U.S., Japan, Canada and United Kingdom took the helm as the main producers of video games world-wide. Therefore, today any reference to the language of the video games is under the influence of either the Anglo-Saxon or Japanese: be it in ethics, culture, history, literature and even in film. But at present, the cultural industry of the video game in Spain sees enriched with new contributions of Latin America. With this new push of the Spanish video game, the Hispanic countries go back to the first line of this powerful tool of communication, which is used by more than 500 million people in the West and drives big dividends.
