<p class="has-text-align-justify">The October of 1958 saw a tremendous development when physicist William <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=higinbotham&;rlz=1C1RLNS_enIN852IN852&;oq=higinbotham&;aqs=chrome.0.0i355j46j46i175i199j0j0i10j0j0i10i457j0i10.2816j0j7&;sourceid=chrome&;ie=UTF-8">Higinbotham</a> created the now-known as the first video game ever. It was a simple tennis game similar to the Pong from the 70’s and was a hit at the Brookhaven ; National Laboratory Open House. It was titled as ‘Tennis-for-Two’ , which is a simulation of the game tennis. It came into existence before the much loved arcades and home video games and people waited in lines outside the national laboratory to try a hand at it. ; It is also called the ‘forerunner of modern video games’. ;</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Making Of The First Video Game Ever</h2>



<p class="has-text-align-justify">The game reached 9.5 billion sales in the year 2006-07 in the states, alone. It was played by two people in charge of separate controllers ; connected to analog computers and an oscilloscope. <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=higinbotham&;rlz=1C1RLNS_enIN852IN852&;oq=higinbotham&;aqs=chrome.0.0i355j46j46i175i199j0j0i10j0j0i10i457j0i10.2816j0j7&;sourceid=chrome&;ie=UTF-8">Higinbotham</a> utilized 4 operational amplifiers to generate motion in the ball while 6 of the remaining amplifiers in the computer sensed the hit on the net and then transferred control to player two. ;</p>



<p class="has-text-align-justify">By the year 1959, improved versions of the same game were introduced with a larger screen and better features. It was a truly remarkable invention for the now prospering gaming industry and paved the path for so much more!</p>
