      I thought it was Pong – two simple sticks for bats hitting a ball going left to right on the screen. But apparently I am wrong, that was in 1972. If you look here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_video_game, you can see they they also include less commercial games. Still if you imagine how basic these were, only 50 years ago, it does make you wonder what games will be like in 50 years time. Any thoughts?
