From Spacewar! to Solitaire, video games have evolved with technology at unprecedented speeds, but how did this revolution start? What are video games? What is a computer in the first place? This course will answer all those questions and more. Video games and computers have always been connected, but the “how” or “why” is often overlooked. Overshadowed by flashy technology, the humble beginnings of gaming tell tales of a fascinating history.
