How it Began ?

Video games have been here throughout history. But the question in people minds is how it came to be?. It's not solid when video games were invented and the geniuses that invented it. So that why I'm here.The history of video games goes as far back as the early 1950s, when academics began designing simple games, simulations, and artificial intelligence programs as part of their computer science research. Video gaming would not reach mainstream popularity until the 1970s and 1980s, when arcade video games, gaming consoles and home computer games were introduced to the general public. Since then, video gaming has become a popular form of entertainment and a part of modern culture in most parts of the world. That time people who played games were considered "nerds", now look at us, we are invincible!. The first game that was created was "tennis for two" but wasn't that popular, "SpaceWar!"By 1960, the Massachusetts Institute Of Technology (MIT) was one of the premiere centers of computer research in the world,created by students in the TMRC(Tech Model Railroad club).By the end of the 1960s, SpaceWar! could be found in university computer labs across the United States and served as an inspiration for students to create their own variations of the game alongside entirely new designs.
