Today, I'm going to talk about of the history of video games.
the first electronic gaming device  it was invented back in 1966 by ralph baer this  new device marked the beginning of a new industry.

In 1972 Nolan Bushnell invented a game called pong the game was a hit, and many more were to follow, like space invaders, asteroids, pacman and donkey kong but atari had something more that show.

In '77  it's was created the atari 2600.
The first third-party developers formed and the industry grew at a phenomenal rate however the market became saturated.

Then in 1982 came the game by Howard Scoot Warshaw :ET the extra terrestrial this was one factor of the great losses of Atari.
With the loss of consumer confidence, the industry crashed.


It seemed like the end of this fad, known as video games, but one japanese company had a different plan, In 1985 nintendo(Nintendo Entertainment System) released the nes to the world.

it was a great success and just what was needed to revitalise the industry but a new competitor was on the horizon, Sega's master system. However it was no match for nintendo's.


In the next years..
Sega's mega drive waved in the 16 bit era, super nintendo was their competitor's response, with greats games like super mario, donkey kong, zelda etc.
gaming fans were heavily divided over which console was better.

In 95 came the sega saturn, but a new contender appeared in the form of the sony play station .
The new system it was of 32 bit graphics revolutionary, and more mature games appealed to all,Nintendo in comparison looked childish and lame.

But nintendo was not to worry,the nintendo 64, had 64 bit graphics , and colourful games for a younger audience.It was twice as powerfull as the sony ps and was totally fun.

The late nineties was certainly a wonderfull time to be a gamer.
Ps2 was established like a giant of industry,launched the next generation in the year 2000.

Microsoft first try at a gaming console but the xbox came down.
It was followed by nintendo and it's game cube, sega also released the dreamcast which was their last attempt at a console, but sales were poor and few people bought the console.
