3. How it Began.  It is unknown exactly who made the first interactive video game  The earliest known instance of an interactive electronic game was first created in 1947  Thomas T. Goldsmith Jr. and Estle Ray Mann are the ones who set the foundations for the first games
4. How it Began.  The first video game was entitled “Cathode Ray Tube Amusement Devise”  In reality it was the first missile simulation game
5. How it Works.  The game works by using analog circuitry, not digital circuits to control the CRT beam  The CRT beam is the green dot  Screen overlays were used to for the missile targets , since screen graphics at that time weren’t advanced enough to be drawn yet.  Control knobs are used to adjust the strength and signal output to control the trajectory of the ray of light

8. Real Video Games  The first AI (Artificial Intelligence) was developed 5 years after the CRT amusement device  Alexander Sandy is the man who created the first AI  The so called “First” video game ever, was actually a game called Noughts and Crosses.
