Posted in Videogames A to Z on August 30th, 2008 07:28 PM

If the 1980s were about the rise of the industry, the 1990s were about its maturing into a mainstream form of entertainment. The 1990s saw the beginning of a larger consolidation of publishers, higher budget games, increased size of production teams and collaborations with both the music and motion picture industries.

Posted in Videogames A to Z on August 20th, 2008 11:13 PM

In this series of articles I will try to cover the best and worst moments from the videogames history, from "Tennis for Two" to "GTA IV" there are games that changed the way we use computers and games today.

The first article in the series will focus on the 1960's , the years when the videogames were born.

1958 - William Higinbotham created a game using an osciloscope and an analog computer. "Tennis for Two" showed a simplified tennis court, featuring a gravity controlled ball. The game was played with two box shaped controllers, both having an joystick for trajectory and a button for hitting the ball.
