History of National Video Games Day
The history of National Video Games Day is the statement of the video game, and that record goes back much distant than most people imagine. The first game ever designed is often thought to be Bertie the Brain, an artificial intelligence designated to play Tic-Tac-Toe. Considering that Bertie was a 4-meter high machine mounted on vacuum tube technology, you can think it didn’t get out much, it was dismantled after the Canadian National Exhibition it was started, and never restored. A year later, a computer was increased called Nimrod, and Nimrod was a computer built and performed at the Festival of Britain in 1951 and designed to play a game called Nim.
From these humble origins, things continued to develop, first with Cabinet-style games, which became highly popular, and then into the first consoles, home-based platforms you could play the games on. In the years that worked, the development of computers and video games just kept developing exponentially until they now thoroughly permeate our culture. What did to be a luxury item for the wealthy and elite has now become a common part of most people’s homes and a diversion that includes all ages.
