Who made the first viedo game?
No one really knows for sure who invented the very first video
game, but it is believed to have been a man by the name of William
Higinbotham. William Higinbotham created a game called Tennis for
Two back in 1958 and this game is very similar to the popular Atari
game called Pong. He created this game in an oscilloscope to
entertain visitors to his lab where he worked as a scientist.
Tennis for Two was a two-dimensional, side view of a tennis court
which was displayed on an oscilloscope. It had a cathode-ray tube
similar to a black and white TV. He was born on October 25, 1910
and passed away on November 10, 1994. So, it is not known for sure
if this was the first video game or not, but no other people have
come forward claiming that they had invented something earlier than
1958.
