5. 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

popular in 1979 and 1980 with the arrival of titles such as Pac-Man. The Golden Age saw a prevalence of arcade
machines in malls, traditi
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. Unfortunately "Tennis for Two" stoped being exhibited one year later, but more important this was the game that open a new era.
