Introduction: What is a video game?

Video games are a form of interactive entertainment, usually involving a player interacting with the device. They come in all shapes and sizes.

Video games can involve multiple players or just one player. A common misconception about video games is that only children play them, but this is not true.

The first game to be created was called Tennis for Two and it was created by William Higinbotham in 1958.

How do video games work? The evolution from Pong to the PlayStation 4.

Video games have evolved from just a simple game of Pong to now having many different genres and platforms. We can now play video games on our phones, consoles, and PC.

Video games are a form of interactive media that requires gamers to play and use their skills to overcome various obstacles and challenges. The first video games were developed in the early 1970s and since then they have become more advanced with better graphics and gameplay.

The History of Video Games from Atari to Playstation 4.

Video games have come a long way. They have evolved from simple historical games like Pong to today’s immersive virtual reality games. The evolution of these games has been driven by technological innovations and the need for better graphics, sound, and virtual reality.

With each passing decade, video game consoles have improved in their graphics and sound capabilities. In 1978, Atari was the first company to release a home gaming console that could play color games with a joystick controller. In the 1990s, Nintendo released the Nintendo 64 with 3D polygons and texture mapping. In 2001, Microsoft introduced Xbox with a wireless controller and HDTV 1080p resolution followed by Sony Playstation 2 in 2000 which had DVD-quality resolution that supported full-motion video content.

What are some important "classic" or "old" games that have been forgotten?

There are many games that have been forgotten over time. Some were too difficult to play, others were too time consuming to even start playing. The games that remain popular are the ones because they were easy to pick up and understand.

Here are some of the games that have been forgotten:

- "Side Arms" an arcade game released in 1987 by Data East for the NES. It was one of the few third-person shooters available for this console back then and was not very successful because it was hard to play without looking at your character's profile on screen.
