I found this really interesting and thought that some of my fellow gamers might enjoy this short read.

It's about what may be the first video game and it was created in 1958 at Brookhaven National Laboratory. It was a simple tennis game that used an analog computer and was displayed on an oscilloscope.

I've read about that before and it's really neat. I do know one thing a lot of gamers think that the atari was the first in home game system. It was not. It was The Odyssey game system, which is actually a reall neat system. I used to have one that was still in the box.
