In 1958 William Botham Higin designing a game with the title of the Tennis For Two is played in the oscilloscope, and then there was Steve Russell in 1961 with a game called Spacewar created in the computer mainframe DEC PDP-1 when they are undergoing studies at MIT.

The history of video games is not only about the people who play in it, but also on various gaming companies that have a case of ironic.

However the number games are made few and many do not know or play it. In 1961, Steve Russell and his colleagues programmed the computer game called Spacewar on DEC.

Computer game is finally distributed with DEC computers and traded in primitive cyberspace. Computer games are also presented at MIT at Science Open House in 1962.
