Do you want to watch how the first video game was played?

Do you want to watch how the first video game was played?We are in the times of PUBG. But do you wonder, which was the first-ever video game.

In October 1958, Physicist William Higinbotham created what is thought to be the first video game.

Tennis for Two

It was a very simple tennis game, similar to the classic 1970s video game Pong.
 	It became quite a hit at a Brookhaven National Laboratory open house.
 	Higinbotham made some drawings and blueprints were drawn up.
 	Technician Robert Dvorak spent about two weeks building the device.
 	After a little debugging, the first video game was ready for its debut. They called the game Tennis for Two.
 	It had none of the fancy graphics video games use today.
 	The cathode ray tube display simply showed a side view of a tennis court represented by just two lines, one representing the ground and a one representing the net. The ball was just a dot that bounced back and forth.
 	Players also had to keep score for themselves.
