Video Game Evolution
By Computers-and-Technology Articles from EzineArticles.com | July 28, 2006
Very few of the “gamers” remember “back in the day”, around Christmas of 1975 Atari was the first to mass produce and distribute a game, where the game console had 2 knobs that turned left and right moving a little rectangle block up an down the screen, one on the left side and the other on the right. Moving this rectangle allowed the “player” to hit a small ball back and forth between the two players, trying to “play the angle” by hitting it on the edge of your paddle to “give it English” or a sharp angle to score the point. The first “Video Tennis or Ping Pong” game I guess would be a proper reference, in fact it was call “PONG”.
