In what year was the first video game created?
a. 1958
b. 1961
c. 1972
d.1980
The answer is A, 1958!
Tennis for Two, created by William Higinbotham in 1958, was an interactive game that used an oscilloscope to display a side view of a tennis court. Before this, there were some early computer games, like Nim (1951), a two-player mathematical game of strategy in which players take turns removing objects from distinct heaps, and OXO (1952), a tic-tac-toe computer game; neither of these had the interactive quality of Tennis for Two. In 1971, Computer Space, created by Nolan Bushnell and Ted Dabney, was the first commercially-sold, coin-operated video game. It used a black-and-white television for its display, and the computer system was made of 74 series TTL chips.
