God, good doc, but ... ( 1 year ago by MagusX1)

God, good doc, but I am so sick of people saying fucking Pong was the first game. Pong was not the first game...came out in 1954. It was on a radar like device, but Pong was not by anymeans the first videogame.

The first game was, in fact, Space Wars. You circle strafed around a star.

The first ... ( 1 year ago by visionon)

The first self-contained coin-op game was Computer Space; it flopped because it was too complicated for the bar crowd, but the first pong was so well received that it overflowed its coin bucket.

The NES was already ... ( 1 year ago by visionon)

The NES was already available in arcades for a couple of years before the home version came out. They called it the "VS Cartridge System", and it had stuff like Hogan's Alley and Excitebike which you could select after putting in your quarter. I remember seeing one and wondering why they didn't just put it in a home system. Turns out they did eventually.

Playdium shut down ... ( 1 year ago by atarilovesyou)

Playdium shut down a few years ago. It was cool while it lasted but suffered from a lack of new games, and overpriced classic games. Very expensive to maintain the 'wow' factor and after a few visits, that 'wow' turned to 'meh'. The 'virtual restaurant' was problematic at best. I don't know if it made a lot of money, certainly not enough to break even with all the fancy new games they had. But that first time sure was awesome...

pong was actually ... ( 3 months ago by nesteph)

pong was actually the recognized beginning of the current concept of video gaming. what you mentioned were just the first attempts to see what one could do with the new technology, the issue of the 1971 pong patent and the release of the odyssey marked the first video game generation. while homage is paid by the industry we feel they had more to do with the new computerized technology. Now we are in the 9th generation of gaming in about to head into the 10th, and its all do to those experiments
