The first video game never created
The first video game that was created in history was Tennis for Two, this was created in 1958 by William Higginbotham. This video game consisted of a table tennis simulator that was used as entertainment for visitors to Brookhaven National Laboratory exhibition.
Later in 1962 the video game appeared Spacewar! Which was created by Steve Russell. The theme of this video game was basically a spatial combat for the PDP-1, in addition this video game was the first to play in different computer positions.
A few years later the first console was invented, known as Magnavox Odyssey. This was created by the developers of Snders Associates Inc., Led by Ralph Baer, others invented the multiplayer system prototype that could be played on a TV. One of the games that came in this console served as inspiration for Atari, who decided to launch a domestic version of Pong and he had an overwhelming exist.
In 1977 Atari decided to launch Atari 2600, this domestic console had joysticks and interchangeable cartridges, these already owned some colors. This began the second generation of consoles.
During the eighties some quite famous video games such as Pacman, Donkey Kong for Nintendo emerged, the Activision company was created a game developer ..
But at the beginning of the eighties the video game companies suffered a great collapse since the sector was quite saturated, this took several companies to bankruptcy. During this time Atari I think that is considered the worst video game in history based on the history of et.
It was not until 1985 when the industry began to recover, this was thanks to Nintendo and its console (NES). This had improved the graphics, sound, colors and 11 -bit gameplay of the previous consoles. Nintendo launched a series of important franchises such as Super Mario Bros, Legend of Zelda and Metroid. Nintendo also imposed certain measures to combat low quality software. These companies launched long -lasting franchises such as Dragon Quest or Final Fantasy.
Nintendo once again revolutionized the sector when in 1989 he took his Game Boy device and the play Tetris for sale. And during the following years this would begin to take out successor devices from the Game Boy as the Nintendo DS that came out in 2004.
In 1989 Sega launched 16 -bit genesis, this was the successor of the Sega Master System of the 86 that I do not have exists barely due to its opponent the NES.
This console was much superior to the NES and also had a fairly effect and intelligent marketing and with the launch of Sonic The Hedgehog. Nintendo did not intend to fall behind so that year I take out the 16 -bit NES, thus starting a battle between the consoles.
Since 1990, numerous quite popular games began to launch for both consoles such as Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat, they had enough violence for what were accustomed at that time.
In the mid -90s many popular video games they jumped to the big screen as Super Mario Bros, Mortal Kombat or Tomb Raider. From that moment there are numerous video game -based films.
Genesis supero to SNES in the West, but barely achieved success in Japan.
In 1995 Sega launched the first 32 -bit console, known as Saturn, it loaded the games on CD. What they intended with this console was to overcome the first console that Sony took markets, the playstation, which sold cheaper than Saturn. The following year Nintendo 64 came to the market, thus increasing competition.
Sega and Nintendo managed to get titles of enough good quality in 3D, but they could not deal. In addition, this had a large number of exclusive titles for the console. Sony ended up dominating the market and would continue to do it with the next generation. In 2000 the PlayStation was launched, which today is the best -selling console of all time. This console was the first to use the DVD. He had to compete with the Nintendo Gamecube, Xbox and La Dreamcast. The latter is considered of the best consoles ever created but was not just successful, Sega ended up ceasing to produce and becoming a software company to third parties.
During the years 2005 and 2006 there were a large number of launches, Xbox 360, the Wii and the PlayStation 3. Although PlayStation and Xbox had better technological capabilities, Wii exceeded them largely in sales. Movement -sensitive controls caused the games to be interactive and thus attracted a broader public.
Social networks began to take video games just like mobile phones, not intending to be left behind in the sector. The Angry Birds video game generated some 200 million dollars in 2012.
During 2011 Skylanders presented a new format in which from action figures that interacted with the video game thanks to even “portal” that transported them. This was an innovation that companies would begin to imitate.
During the following years the Wii U would go on sale, the only one that had the capacity to play both on TV and the portable device. The PlayStation would also go on sale, being the first to have 4K resolution. And finally the Xbox One.
In recent years, many consoles have come out that are better and better and in recent years the PC games like the League of Legendes are taking quite strength. This does nothing more to evolve. What will surprise us in the coming years?
