The first video game ever created was made in the late 50s by Physicist William Higinbotham to make a scientific exhibit more fun and “interactive” for people touring the lab at Brookhaven’s National Laboratory. While its graphics didn’t hold a candle to even the simplest of games of the present day, the game Tennis for Two became a smash hit, paving the way for the gaming industry that we enjoy and participate in today....
