Where did gaming laptops originate?
It is astonishing to think that the first video game was only developed in the early 1950’s as a design project for A.S. Dougal’s PhD degree. This video game was a simple version of Tic-Tac-Toe. It took two decades for the first commercial home game console to be released, this being the Odyssey that was designed by Ralph Baer and released by Magnavox. The Odyssey came programmed with twelve games. In 1971, a year before the home game console was released, Nolan Bushnell, along with Ted Dabney created the first arcade game – Computer Space, which was based on Nolan’s earlier game Spacewar! However it was the next year that Nolan Bushnell (with assistance from Al Alcorn) truly hit gold, with the release of their arcade game Pong! It soon became a household name, and everybody wanted to be the master of Pong! Seeing the appeal of the game, Atari (Bushnell and Dabney’s recently formed company) released Pong! as a home video game in 1975.
