Hello everyone, this video is the first in a series I’ll be creating over the next week looking at games from every single decade from the first ever video games until now!
In today’s video, we are starting at the very beginning and looking at the first ever video games in history! As is to be expected, many of them can not be emulated in the usual way as they were never released for consoles, but thankfully there are lots of great recreations to try!
In tomorrow’s video, we will be diving into 1970s games which means testing out the games for the first ever home consoles from the likes of Atari!
Here are the games mentioned in this video and the links to play them:
