First what is your definition of a video game? Is it an actual game created to play electronically or is it the manipulation of electronics on a screen regardless if its fun or not. Depending on your answer there could be several games looked to be the first. Way back in the 50s and maybe late 40s scientists and other guys used giant mainframe computers sometimes to create games. I cant remember the exact name of dates of these games but im sure you could google or wiki them. I think there was a game called tennis for two in the 50s which was a pong type game. theres also a missle simulation game or something called space war? I think theres also a game where 2 dots chase each other made in the 50s called fox and hound or something. Lastly I think there is a electronic tic tac toe game created in the 50s.
