Ever since I can remember, I've been interested in the history of video games, and while Twin Galaxies is primarily focused on the players and their scores, I see things a bit differently. For me, the logic is simple. You can't have players without games, and you can't have scores without players. And more importantly, where did it all begin?
That being said, this thread is intended to serve as a place to post interesting video game history tidbits randomly scattered across the internet. Videos, pictures, news articles, blog posts, you name it. Recent gaming "news" is certainly compelling, but it tends to be very toxic, where I find history-related subjects to be a pleasant diversion. After all, video games are supposed to be fun, right?
Arcades also played a significant role in the history of video games, so to kick things off, here's a video about the history of Funspot, a place many of you may be quite familiar with.
