Material Detail

The development of video games goes back to the 1940s and 1950s. Computer scientists had started working on early stages of video games by designing simulations and artificial intelligence as part of their computer science research. It is almost impossible to point out the very first video game produced during that time period due to the unorganized processes of creating video games and the lack of concern of preservation at that time, in addition to the fact that those early games were created on obsolete and unavailable computer systems. There are, however, a number of logic puzzles, board games, and military simulations that are considered to be the first video games produced.
