A Video Game is an electronic game where players interact with a user interface to generate visual feedback on a screen. It offers interactive Entertainment, presenting challenges, narratives, or creative play.
History
The concept of video games emerged in the mid-20th century with early experiments on Computer systems. One of the earliest interactive electronic games was Tennis for Two (1958), followed by Spacewar! (1962). The 1970s saw the rise of Arcade games like Pong and Space Invaders, which brought gaming to a wider public. The introduction of home Game Console systems, such as the Atari 2600, brought video games into living rooms.
The industry experienced significant growth and technological advancement in subsequent decades, with the development of 2D and 3D Graphics, sophisticated Gameplay mechanics, and online Multiplayer experiences. Modern video games encompass a vast range of genres and platforms, from mobile games to virtual reality, continuing to push the boundaries of interactive media and Storytelling.
