60 Years Ago There Was No Electronic Gaming!
It was a dark time. No beeps, bloops, coin sounds, or Da-Da-Da-Daaaaaaas. It was a time with no video games at all. But then, people in universities and laboratories started making their own games. Soon, people like Ralph Baer and Nolan Bushnell came up with ways that they could use video games to make money, and it worked! It wasn't easy though. Companies entered and left the buisness, video game crashes ruined the market, and the companies on top changed over the years. Today the three companies on top are Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft. Let us go through the decades and see how the games and graphics grew.
