==History== The first video game is believed to be ''[[Tennis for Two]]'',<ref> https://www.aps.org/publications/apsnews/200810/physicshistory.cfm </ref> a rudimentary tennis game to be played with two people developed in 1958. Another early example is ''[[Spacewar!]]'', developed in 1962. In the 1950s, when the first computers began creation, three people had some ideas to create the basis of video games. In 1951, Ralph Baer, an American engineer of Loral [[Electronics]], tried to create "the best television", proposing to add a gaming module, but his employer did not like his idea. Even though his idea was never agreed on, he is the first man to have thought about creating video games. Later, Ralph made the first video game console, the [[Magnavox Odyssey|Odyssey]]. Later, in 1952, A.S Douglas, of the [[University of Cambridge]] in the [[United Kingdom|UK]], made a video game on a computer in order to illustrate one of his speeches. The game, called ''[[OXO (video game)|OXO]]'', was a tic-tac-toe game, with two players (the person itself and the opponent, the computer). In 1953, Willy Higinbotham made a game called ''Tennis For Two'', similar to the later ''[[Pong]]'', to entertain visitors to [[Brookhaven National Laboratory]]. Another early video game is a version of checkers, but this is largely overlooked. One of the most famous and one of the earliest video games ever is called ''[[Space Invaders]]''. ''Space Invaders'' [[Keplerians]] was made in 1978 as a coin operated [[arcade game]], but a version has been made for most game consoles and home computers available.
