By the way Bomzin, you are wrong. It may have been the first home console but not the first computer game to start all that we have today. I remembered my dad playing a game once. He only showed it to me just once. How he got it, I do not know but here it is. I saw it a few times in the garage but wasn't allowed to touch it. I so wish I would have known what it was when I seen it but I was so young and dumb. Man, what I wouldn't do to go back and take it and keep it safe... Man!

Pong though I do believe was the first real "video" game for the masses.

Some argue that Tennis for Two or any one of the earlier predecessors to the modern video game cannot be titled the first “video” game because not one of them displayed a “video” signal. The term “video” implies that electronic signals are converted to images on a screen using a raster pattern, a series of horizontal lines composed of individual pixels. Although older oscilloscopes, televisions, and computer screens all used cathode-ray tubes, oscilloscopes visually display changes in electrical voltage; they do not use the raster process.

Perhaps, but then we are just picking apart things a bit too much. Raster graphics would be replaced with Vector graphics so someone could say Lunar Lander was the first game. But I also must admit... You're right.

in 1952, A.S. Douglas at the University of Cambridge created an electronic version of Tic-Tac-Toe, which he titled “OXO” (or Noughts and Crosses). This single-player “game” was designed for academic purposes — Douglas used the electronic OXO on the famous Electronic Delay Storage Automatic Calculator, or EDSAC, to study the “Interactions Between Human and Computer.” Like electronic Nim, electronic OXO was not designed to be entertaining.

Even though it was used for research, it was still interactive research between man and machine so in essence, "OXO" is the second "interactive" game. That is actually what I was looking for, "interactive electronic device." Once again Bomzin, you outwit me. Electronic Nim won the title as "First interactive electronic game" Between man and machine.

I can still be proud of one thing, I actually seen a real "Tennis For Two." Which was the first interactive electronic device designed for entertainment. Awesome!

What was the first Raster Graphics game?

We centainly do live in a wonderful time.

Supposedly through further research the Electronic Nim was never proven. I don't know. Anyways, I make the correction... Second game ever.

And the first:

Pong is the shizzy though!

How about the first quarter plunker ? Care take a guess .

Now that I think of it, being the first Vector Based game and leading the industry in a whole new direction, Lunar Lander is actually a good pick for one of the top games ever.
