Arcade games

Did you know...

The earliest coin-operated game was probably the pinball machine which came out in the 1930s, but it was not electronic and it did not have fancy lights or screens. The first coin-operated video game was made in 1971 by Stanford University students in the US – it was called Glaxay Game. The next year, the game was massmanufactured by a company called Atari, and this started the video game industry. In the 1990s, the two-player games were invented, and by 1996, the home versions of the games were invented, which were played on consoles and computers.
