Today I read an article about " Computer and Video Game History" Mary Bellis and it talks about how video games first started and who invented them. The first video game in history to ever be invented in 1952 was a graphical computer game, a version of Tic-Tac-Toe, the person who invented that game was A.S. Douglas. Later on in 1958 William Higinbotham created his first video game. His game, called "Tennis for Two," was created and played on a Brookhaven National Laboratory oscilloscope.
After the Tennis for Two gane was done in 1962 a guy named Steve Russell invented SpaceWar which was the first computer game to ever be played in history of video games on a computer. The first person to write a video game played on a television set, a game called Chase was called, Ralph Baer and this happened in 1967. In 1971 was the time when video games started to get big because thats when they started to make the arcade games. Nolan Bushnell and Ted Dabney both together created the first arcade game, that arcade game was based on the video game that Steve did "space war".
