From glowing dots on a scope to global digital worlds
In short: Trace the evolution of interactive entertainment from its academic origins to modern AAA blockbusters. This overview captures the pivotal shifts in technology, market crashes, and cultural revolutions that defined the medium.
The history begins with early experiments on science-fair oscilloscopes before moving into the arcade boom and the subsequent home console crash. Key milestones include Nintendo's resurgence, the transition to 3D graphics, and the rise of online and mobile gaming.
