I love video games, I play them during my free time, do you know if they have been around for a long time?
Well not a super long time but video games goes as far back as the early 1950's when academic computer scientists designed simple games and simulations in a research.
Oh, so they first started out more for research. Was there any particular person who really developed them or started them?
Well not really since video games are a form of entertainment, so that's pretty broad. But video games really became mainstream around the 80's when the game "Spacewars" was introduced.
I have never played that game, it sounds interesting what was it about, was it on the nintendo?
I think it was on the early CRT computers. Since 1980's video games have become a part of popular culture for sure.
I have never heard of a CRT computer, what exactly is that?
It was one of the first types of computers created, but back to video games. The word video in video games usually refers to the display device that produces two or three dimensional images.
