People always invent some games, we can say that they appeared simultaneously with the emergence of mankind. Then they were moving entertainment events. Now they added another, and online games. These computer games, of course, are relatively new, so the path of their development track is not so difficult.
The first computer game was developed by Americans nearly 55 years ago. Programmers companies have developed the world's first computer fun, called Spacewar. The monitor shows two spacecraft that were to shoot each other. We can say that the game belongs to the genre of arcade games. However, in those days no one had a personal computer at home, so the development can be called a successful experiment. It just played the programmers in the rare moments of rest.
Distribution of computer games got 10 years. It was then that Nolan Bashnell developed the first computer game, and even began to sell it. It was also an arcade. Basically, the story is no different from the first space arcade. Now computers have changed. However, the idea was not profitable. But the businessman did not lose enthusiasm and a year later invented the well-known and loved by us until now computer ping pong.
Separately it is necessary to dwell on the history of online gaming. It is believed that the first people created an online game has become a Dungeon & Dragons. In the 80s it began development of the genre MMORPG. Then the games were paid. While an hour of the game you had to pay about 12 dollars. Then they began to develop a variety of other online games, including free. Some still enjoy overwhelming popularity.
