Video games, as a form of entertainment, have significantly evolved since their inception, becoming a dominant force in modern culture. They have not only revolutionized entertainment but also the way we perceive interactive storytelling, challenge, and competition. Classic video games, many of which began as simple pixelated adventures, laid the foundation for the sophisticated gaming experiences we have today. This article explores the journey through time, examining how video games have evolved from rudimentary programming projects to immersive, multi-billion-dollar global industries.The roots of video gaming can be traced back to the late 1950s when computers were first used for entertainment purposes. One of the earliest instances of a video game was Tennis for Two, created by physicist William Higinbotham in 1958.
