One thing you probably didn't know. First video-game ever was BONG! created in 1978. It was first arcade machine actually and it was made for 2 players. In 1979, man who's name Icant remember created another game whos name I also can't remember. It was first game for single player facing the machine. Yap, it was Arkanoid-type of a game. A bar you move, using a ball to destroy other bars. Simple as that. That's how video-games came to life.
First game in colours was Alien Invaders
(it wasn't in colour, they just made screen to shine in green, but it was written in history)
I'll find name of the game. It won't harm to have it somewhere if we are to become major abw site.
