Revision as of 19:58, 8 January 2015 by 162.127.144.252 (talk) (→History)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)There are numerous debates over which game should be considered the first video game, with the answer depending largely on how video games are defined. The evolution of video games represents a tangled web of several different industries, including scientific, computer, arcade, and consumer electronics.
The "video" in "video game" traditionally refers to a raster display device. With the popular catch phrase use of the term "video game", the term later came to imply all display types, formats, and platforms.
Historians have also sought to bypass the issue by instead using the more specific "digital games" descriptive. This term leaves out the earlier analog-based computer games.
