Where is the Dreamcast?
great video, but how could you skip Counter Strike, Starcraft, Quake, Age of Empires, DotA….all the most popular games played at tournaments…
no ninja gaiden???????
space war is the first one game. It was made in 1962 on a HUGE computer (PDP – 1), then it was made on a special arcade platform and called Computer Space. Pong oficially was made in 1872……….maybe William Higinbotham invented smt of that…….but it was not a commercial game
the first “video game” was made in 1958 on an oscilloscope screen. made by William Higinbotham. the first version of “pong” or “tennis for two”
Golden Axe.
@Mariofan233
Well, technically the first videogame to be sold commercially is called Computer Space, which predates Pong by a year.
it was the first at home system game, not the first game.
i played some of the game on this vid
Can you guys believe that Pong,was the first game ever created?!
That is amazing…yet a little pointless.(I’m talking about the game).
