Games likes Dice games, Tile games, Board games were part of human history as early as in 16th century. In 19th Century video games comes into picture which changed overall format of gaming.
In 1940 Edward U. Condon designed a computer for the Westinghouse display at the World's Fair that plays the traditional game Nim where players tried to avoid picking up the last match. Tonnes and thousands of people enjoyed it, even though the computer won at least 90% of the games. In 1952, A. S. Douglass created OXO (a game known as noughts and crosses in United Kingdom and tic-tac-toe in United States) on Cambridge's EDSAC computer as part of his research on human-computer interactions.
In 1954, Programmers at New Mexico's Los Alamos laboratories, the birthplace of the atomic bomb, develop the first blackjack program on an IBM-701 computer.
Video game fans go bananas over Nintendo's Donkey Kong even today, featuring a character that would become world-famous: Jumpman. Never heard of him? That's because he's better known as Mario—the name he took when his creator, Shigeru Miyamoto, made him the star of a later game by Nintendo which came into being in 1981.
The video games industry experienced its first major hit in the early 1980s when publishing houses appeared, with many businesses surviving 20+ years, such as Electronic Arts—alongside fly-by-night operations that cheated the games' developers. While some early 1980s games were simply clones of existing arcade titles, the relatively low publishing costs for personal computer games allowed for bold and unique games.
